No, to detect obviously sociopathic behavior is a trait normal people have. Because our morals are partially either inherited or learned because we are social beings. So we instinctively have a sense of importance in protecting each other, especially wife children and the society we are part of.
This is NOT tied to high IQ, but normal social intelligence, if you are NOT a sociopath or something similar, and that trait also exist among apes.
So to not detect an obvious sociopath exhibiting sociopathic behavior routinely, a person literally has to be a sociopath or worse, because it requires to not have empathy, and to not have any moral standards, or general regard for the community or society we live in.
In USA however, people are strongly indoctrinated to disregard moral standards, so maybe I should have written you either need to be a sociopath or American.
Because in USA freedom is indoctrinated to be the highest value of all, and sociopathy is an expression of ultimate freedom. Sociopaths don’t care about norms or rules or to hurt other people. In fact they are sadistic, because sadism give them a feeling of power. But because it’s an expression of freedom, sociopathy is seen as a virtue among many Americans. Lack of moral standards and limitations, also enable a person to make money at great cost to other people, for instance workers earning a non livable wage. And money is seen as the highest achievement possible in USA, and since a lot of rich people are sociopaths or worse, that is seen as positive trait, that will allow you to achieve the most important goal in USA, which is to be rich.
Failing to see that in Trump, can only happen because a person doesn’t comprehend the problems of his behavior emotionally despite maybe understanding them intellectually.
If you are a stupid sociopath, you will of course not comprehend the problems intellectually either.
So I meant my post quite literally, but with the possibility that it may be that Americans are brainwashed, to ignore the problem of antisocial behavior caused by what is technically called Dyssocial personality disorder, which I call sociopathy here, because it’s close enough, and people know what it means.
Psychopath, Sociopath, or worst of all malignant narcissist which Trump is are all forms of dyssocial personality disorder.
really, really stupid?
