This type of language use is a symptom of character disorder, and a warning for people who have studied, and understand character disorders.

In other words...

Whether a person is a politician or not, using this type of language means you have the mind of a criminal.

In layman terms, it simply means that criminals are running our country. Which explains why the country is going to shit, and why nobody is going to jail.
