Support for Donald Trump is linked to darker personality traits, including increased psychopathy and decreased empathy, new research finds. The study also connects conservative political beliefs to lower benevolence, suggesting personality may shape how people engage with politics and ideology.

    The weirdest thing about MAGA psychopathy is that Trump is in the Epstein files.

      As it should. Just because we think we know something doesn’t mean we shouldn’t measure it.

      Iirc, top level posts are supposed to pertain to the study itself. That isn’t really something negative in a science community, imo. Look at practically every top level comment here to see the reason.

    it just baffled me how many of them there are. It kind of feels like at this point it’s human nature honestly.

      just as frustrating are all the people in the “middle” who are more ambivalent about trump but still voted for him because of egg prices.

      It’s just been made acceptable and even praised.

      So everyone inclined is following suit.

      It’s not “human nature” or any other psuedo-science. It’s the unsurprisingly result of an extremely fascist society. Literally founded on genocide and slavery. Both “parties” openly support genocide right now. This is what USA has always been.

    I feel like at least one of those traits are a necessary prerequisite to getting indoctrinated into the Trump cult.

    Lower reading levels too.

    Then they screech at everyone that they are “alpha.”

    Boggles my fucking mind.
