Mitt Romney’s Disturbed Character Reveals Psychopathic Mindset — He
demonstrates a lack of empathy, no remorse or guilt for past assaults or
mistreatment, a high degree of narcissism, and a capacity to
ceaselessly lie and manipulate to get what he wants.
While Romney may not display the
level of psychopathy necessary to be considered diagnosable as a
psychopath, he does fit what Silver and Schouten call, “almost a
psychopath.” He demonstrates a lack of empathy, no remorse or guilt for
past assaults or mistreatment, a high degree of narcissism, and a
capacity to ceaselessly lie and manipulate to get what he wants.
If there was any doubt, his inability to stop laughing while recalling
these events, when others have been harmed, proves this is a man with a
highly questionable character.

Mitt Romney’s Disturbed Character Reveals Psychopathic Mindset

There are
three major patterns of qualities that characterize a psychopath:
1) interpersonal conduct such as dishonesty, narcissism, and arrogance,
along with a marked lack of consideration for the rights and well-being
of others 2) affective deficits such as lack of empathy or guilt, and
3) impulsiveness or risk-taking. Based on established criteria,
psychologists estimate that approximately 1% of the population or 3
million people could be classified as having a psychopathic personality.
However, these are people who meet the cutoffs for diagnostic criteria,
which make it seem like people either have it or they don’t.
Psychopathy doesn’t work that way.
It occurs on a continuum
with some people having none at all and others having the range from a
few tendencies to a full blown diagnosable personality disorder. James
Silver, co-author of
Almost a Psychopath: Do I (or Does Someone I Know) Have a Problem with Manipulation and Lack of Empathy? explains,
“Almost psychopaths
differ from true psychopaths not in the types, but, rather, in the
frequency and intensity of their remorseless and damaging behaviors.”

An alarming anecdote shared by Rachel Maddow on her show does point to Romney’s issues with lack of empathy or remorse.
On May 10
th,
Maddow played an excerpt from an interview with Romney in which he relayed a story from his past along
with many inappropriate chuckles:
Romney: “I have a few connections with the State of
Wisconsin. One of the most humorous I think relates to my father. You
may remember, my father, George Romney, was the President of an
automobile company called American Motors. And as the President of the
company, he decided to close the factory in Michigan and move all the
production to Wisconsin…they had a high school band that was leading
each of the candidates, and his band did not know how to play the
Michigan fight song. It only knew how to play the Wisconsin fight song.
So every time they would start playing, “On Wisconsin, On Wisconsin,” my
dad’s political people would jump up and down and try to get them to
stop because they didn’t want people in Michigan to be reminded that my
dad had moved production to Wisconsin.”
This was Mr. Romney’s idea of funny, people losing their jobs and getting upset when being reminded about it.
In the same segment, Maddow discussed
two of Romney’s other psychopathic behaviors, the recent revelation that
he forcibly held down another teen in high school and cut off his hair as he cried and screamed and the now famous story where Romney strapped his dog to the roof of his car in a kennel for hours
in defiance of Massachusetts law as he drove 60 miles per hour. In both cases, she played Romney’s “apologies” for the incidents,
in which he laughed inappropriately throughout each.
These incidents and the insincerity of the apologies that followed them provide some of the strongest evidence of his psychopathy.
