Yes, there are too many malignant narcissists and sociopaths in positions of power. But the bigger problem is the number of voters drawn to them and enablers cheering them on.
@StevenBeschloss People with authoritarian mindset want to be ruled, and want to be ruled by a strong and decisive personality. It's their prime criteria behind choosing who to lead them. Lots has been written on the subject.
It's been my experience that most people don't mind being ruled by narcissists and sociopaths as long as it's *their* side in charge.
