Man, it seems like a lot of conservatives lack conscience
They are callous, mean-spirited, show a lack of empathy, are selfish, ruthless, and do whatever it takes to demonize their opponents.

John Dean was right. Modern day conservatives lack CONSCIENCE.

3. I think it's groupthink
A few actual sociopaths control the movement and are the powers in this country.

People are stressed because most people are good and it's not natural for them to have these traits dominant.

4. The members of the group form an organism which is sociopathic like its leaders.
Then they scapegoat.

6. Worse, they lack COMPASSION.
The German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer equated compassion to morality. By Schopenhauer's calculus, the GOPers are wantonly immoral.
