Pathocrats
Spot on. Great word of the day.
Definition of Pathocracy
Definition: pathocracy (n). A system of government created by a small pathological minority that takes control over a society of normal people (from Political Ponerology: A Science on the Nature of Evil Adjusted for Political Purposes, by Andrew Lobaczewski)
Pathocracy from Greek pathos, “feeling, pain, suffering”; and kratos, “rule”
A totalitarian form of government in which absolute political power is held by a psychopathic elite, and their effect on the people is such that the entire society is ruled and motivated by purely pathological values.
A pathocracy can take many forms and can insinuate itself covertly into any seemingly just system or ideology. As such it can masquerade under the guise of a democracy or theocracy as well as more openly oppressive regimes.
Thanks. When I first came across this term, I was 'struck' to the knees on how fitting this name is for today's Democrats and RINOS. Forget their party names and tiles, I say identify them by their real color. It is my hope that people will use this term to spread it far and wide. It has long been said - 'Words have meaning'. Well, they especially do when it becomes part of the lexicon of our everyday language. When people on the street start using certain words and phrases, it becomes obvious that the people are understanding 'who' these words and phrases are referring to. The enemy is already very good at this. It's time to start fighting back.

That was my reaction. I couldn't believe in all my years in politics no one has used that term enough for my to look it up.

Noble cause for sure.

Spot on! Although the left likes to change definitions to words that "sound" good.
