Lying Liars and Their Lying Horses


Dark Triad Personalities: Narcissism, Machiavellianism, and Psychopathy
Sprouts

I am pretty sure that the leadership of this country is pretty much lying to us continuously, so it's nice to encounter someone who agrees with me: 

“The lethal combination of incompetency, obliviousness, hubris, psychopathy, narcissism, megalomania, and every other dark triad trait is on full display in those purporting to be our leaders.” - Margaret Anna Alice

So I agree with everything she says up until we get to dark triad. I've never heard of that. Not to worry, Wikipedia knows all:

In psychology, the dark triad comprises the personality traits of narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy. They are called dark because of their malevolent qualities.

Research on the dark triad is used in applied psychology, especially within the fields of law enforcement, clinical psychology, and business management. People scoring high on these traits are more likely to commit crimes, cause social distress, and create severe problems for organizations, especially if they are in leadership positions. They also tend to be less compassionate, agreeable, empathetic, satisfied with their lives, and less likely to believe they and others are good.

Someone agreeing with you doesn't make you right it makes you part of a mob. Evidence makes you right.
