I mean, it seems beyond sociopath. Sociopath is lacking empathy, but to delight in someone else’s misery.. it’s psychotic.

Curious if you mean psychopathic?

I mean, it's easy to joke that Republicans suffer from psychoses (hallucinations and delusions) but in the context of extreme antisocial behavior and lack of empathy, psychopathic might be the right word.
