Bullys

An interesting quote from Dr A Bernstein on How to Deal with Emotionally Explosive People.

People who see themselves as victims or the defenders of victims are claiming the right to victimize others. In 30 years of doing therapy with angry people, I have never met a bully who did not consider himself or herself a victim(Dr A Bernstein - How to Deal with Emotionally Explosive People).

This seems to apply in the political world too.
