A new psychological study has found that people who report favorable views of Donald Trump also tend to score higher on measures of callousness, manipulation, and other malevolent traits—and lower on empathy and compassion. The findings, based on two large surveys of U.S. adults, shed light on how personality traits relate to political beliefs, including support for Trump and conservative ideology. The research was recently published in the Journal of Research in Personality.
Seems like a lot of words to say that they’re assholes.
If the psychologist would have studied the Bolsheviks, Mao’s CCP members, and the European fascists, they would have the same result. Basically low-life shitbags.
Huh, I wouldn’t expect a narcissist to like another narcissist
This can’t be true.
Uneducated, child-level emotions, an inability to discuss political viewpoints, and actual anger when criticizing their cult leader, who could have seen that coming.
Well, you’ve got to be mental to support Trump. So this was to be expected.
In other news, water is wet. I can only think how fortunate that one person must be who has no maga in their life, and had to read this study to learn this.
Indeed. I wish all the conservatives in my life could somehow have the fever break. I honestly think if some intervention was done, especially in their media diet[1], AND they got some form of therapy, whether it was also pharmaceutical or not, I seriously think at least half of them could be weaned off of conservatism.
Sadly, there is likely no way that intervention is going to be done at scale. Sometimes spouses or family do it, but I think it’s quite rare. Whole lot of men have zero friends and very little family in their lives, I think and Faux and hate radio is always going to be a flick away for people that don’t have real people in their lives. And the con elite know this. It’s often why this stuff is pushed out there at a loss, even if it loses money for years, like Faux.
[1] I remember reading recently that even having to have moderate weekly/daily amounts of something like CNN (lol), IIRC, would tend to moderate their views.
In other words MAGA would be very upset at this if they could read.
All republicans are cunts.
hey now, I’ve had only positive experiences with cunts.
Must be nice
Republicunts.
/s if it’s not obvious.
/s not necessary, the meme already implied sarcasm
Comical. Psypost also published this last week:
“New psychology research finds leftist causes widely seen as more moral — even by conservatives”

No shit… Trying to destroy a country because their feelings say the imaginary sky wizard will save themselves and everybody who isn’t as cracker ass cracker white is wrong… Will lead people to believe they are narcissistic.
Don’t need the sky wizard part.
So conservatives.
To the surprise of absolutely no one.
I mean, I’m genuinely surprised they would report it. Hi, yes, I am a manipulative psychopathic narcissist. Nice to meet you.
This should surprise no one who actually interacts with any of his more fervent supporters, that’s for sure.
When the conservatives say that “liberalism is a mental disorder”, it’s once again projection. It’s always projection with conservatives.
No shit.
