- 1心理病態者、精神病質者（口語常說「變態」，但那多半是罵人；醫療上較接近「反社會人格」。不要跟精神病發作搞混）
A psychopath, in the way films and many dictionaries put it, is someone with a deep, lasting problem in how they feel about other people: they can hurt, lie, or break the law and show little real guilt. The picture is often a calm, even charming person, not someone who looks “mad.” Though actually, doctors are messy with this word. It is not a neat official label in many clinics; they may speak of antisocial personality instead. News and movies love psychopath because it sounds like a monster. Everyday English stretches it too far — a rude is not a psychopath. And this is not the same as : a psychopath is usually in touch with reality; someone in may hear voices or hold strong false beliefs. The tidy “violent mental illness” line is tidier than real talk.
組成From German psychopathisch, from Ancient Greek psykhē (soul, mind) + pathos (suffering).

- Now the real difference between now and then was that Trump wasn't looking to do much of anything positive for the American people as a whole. He mainly enriched himself and his family and gave rich people another tax cut. I think as far as Republicans being psychopaths I would say yes but it's probably a bit more complicated. The party is struggling to message against the policies the Biden administration is working to pass because they are overall popular with the voters. The Republicans would normally talk about fiscal responsibility and harp on the national debt but I think their big business "donors" don't want to see the economy stall again so we aren't seeing their normal talking points. So instead they are stoking their base with culture war crap about freedom and Biden becoming an authoritarian.

A person who perpetrates especially gruesome or bizarre violent acts.

A person diagnosed with antisocial or dissocial personality disorder.
