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 just in! NO SHIT.
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.
Pope reports high levels of Catholicism
From a catholic standpoint, the last 2 popes were pretty progressive tho.
Yeah. They were great about condemning child abuse while still making sure to protect the rapists.
A “progressive pope” is like a “good republican”: They don’t fucking exist
Well, it is a spectrum.
While I don’t love the idea of having a Romney in the White House…I’d take it over Taco. I’m not sure that makes Romney “good”, but it definitely would be a lot less bad than conservatism unchained like it is under Taco.
I don’t pay too much attention to popes because, well, I just don’t give a fuck and religion has zero authority over me in a secular nation. But I do realize it’s a spectrum there, too, and if they elect someone who has more modern views on things - I guess that’s good for the people that look to popes for what to think and do?
Can you really claim your views are modern when you’re protecting pedophiles?
Also if nazis are voting for you you’re already on the shit end of the spectrum
I mean, yeah. It is great to pretend you are progressive while still supporting and enabling the rape of children. Well, I don’t think so. But you do you.
Things like this always grind my gears.
because there are good Republican, for example: Irish Republican, Spanish Republican, Pro independence Republican, etc
I think what you mean is “there are no good trump suporter”

That’s like saying “from the standpoint of a sea the Caspian Sea isn’t that big”
PR aside, every single Pope has been the head of one of the oldest and most conservative organizations in the world, and almost certainly THE organization with the most child rape of any in absolute numbers.
That’s not a post that allows for much ACTUALLY progressive action, no matter how much press it gets when you say “LGBTQ+ people are actually people and Palestinians might be too”
Don’t give JD Vance ideas.
What are the numbers? If it is 3% for Trumpers and 2.5% for everybody else, is that worth talking about?
If however 50% of Trumpers are psychopaths, what could be done? Feeling morally superior doesn’t seem to be enough.
It’s working out OK over here. No interactions with known magas (or any conservative for that matter) that aren’t obligated by work or family.
I’m about five years into that philosophy and really, yeah, I’m feeling loads better.
F

/s if it’s not obvious.
/s not necessary, the meme already implied sarcasm

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.
So conservatives.
In a similar story, science has discovered that the sky is in fact- made of air.
Comical. Psypost also published this last week:
“New psychology research finds leftist causes widely seen as more moral — even by conservatives”

All republicans are cunts.
hey now, I’ve had only positive experiences with cunts.
Must be nice
Republicunts.
