Oh yah, that's right, they're dark money donors. Can't unseat them.

In my opinion half of what we are seeing on the national political scene is
half politics and half psychology.
We are seeing sociopaths and narcissists in charge of our government.
And I don't just mean Trump.
Yes I would like to see more public discussion about the oligarch's psychology with their dark money who really pull the strings. They have so much money, but yet they are not content and need to control everyone and everything around them in a sadistic way.

(47,453 posts)during campaign season. Bush was an active alcoholic most of the time he was in the White House. And we know Trump is mentally ill with at least three psych diagnoses.
Perhaps educating the public about mental health issues. There has been a lot of press about the personality disorders since Trump took office so I think people are becoming educated about this type of illness.
Bus drivers and airline pilots have far more mental health vetting than politicians who are responsible for many lives. And drug screening.
I think your suggestion about the dark money donors like the Kochs is a good one. What kind of people who have everything in life, are bent on destroying their fellow Americans. What is their psychology?
I guess the other issue is campaign reform so anonymous large donors cannot control Wash DC.
