American Psychopathy

(noun) A term in modern political discourse describing individuals with psychopathic traits who are drawn to positions of power, including political office, driven by a desire for control and prestige. These individuals exhibit malignant characteristics such as superficial charm, manipulativeness, lack of empathy, grandiosity, and deceitfulness. Their traits influence decision-making and public interactions, suggesting a tendency to pursue power for personal gain rather than the public good.
American Psychopathy calls out today’s politics for what it is—a high-stakes hustle where charisma beats credentials, lies sell better than truth, and public service is a grab for clout and cash.

Friend 1#: And you're going under the blasting sun with jeans and a hoodie like a wattpad protagonist? stop acting americanized and go put on some decent weather-appropriate clothes then"

"That gas station is so cheap they americanized, now you gotta put your own gas!"
