Really? OK, I was repeating an old argument, that also applies here.
You are saying that it's not the psychopaths that are the problem, it's the "stupids" who allow themselves to be manipulated! By the same reasoning, I could shoot you dead, and say that it was your fault for being in front of my gun when I discharged it.
Your argument is called 'victim blaming'; it seeks to justify, support, and enable psychopaths. I don't believe that is a reasonable approach to this issue.
