Reading time: 4 minutes
During the past couple of weeks I came face-to-face with the destructiveness of dark tetrad personality characteristics both in my personal life and in the SOTUS. The behavior of House Republicans makes a stark illustration of just how impossible large gatherings of personality disorders make cooperation and achieving goals. Craven self interest will be the downfall of human kind.
