Uneducated, child-level emotions, an inability to discuss political viewpoints, and actual anger when criticizing their cult leader, who could have seen that coming.

Pope reports high levels of Catholicism

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.

Of course.

Even amidst the overt efforts to eatablish an authoritarian police state, this administration is most notable for being petty, vindictive and wantonly destructive. It's as if even instituting neo-feudalistic/fascistic/plutocratic oligarchy is a secondary goal, and the primary goal is simply to be cruel, selfish, petulant and mean.

So of course those are the qualities one will find in its supporters. Most of them don't even have a coherent ideology - all they have is hate and a petty and childish desire to make those they hate suffer.

/s if it's not obvious.

Seems like a lot of words to say that they're assholes.

So conservatives.

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.

Some people tell me "you just sit these guys down and convince them out of their positions, trust me, it will work"

And then I read this stuff over and over and over again. Write these idiots off for christ sake. Gerrymander them away, shut off fox news, ban their dumb content creators from the internet and lock up every ICE agent in the country forever.

Whatever it takes, make them politcally irrelevant, then you can think about improving something.

This just in! NO SHIT.

No shit.

To the surprise of absolutely no one.

Comical. Psypost also published this last week:

"New psychology research finds leftist causes widely seen as more moral — even by conservatives"

https://www.psypost.org/new-psychology-research-finds-leftist-causes-widely-seen-as-more-moral-even-by-conservatives/

You know... deplorables.

That is liberal propaganda lies. I will now dox you so a frantic MAGA crowd can come and kill you.
/s (just in case)

given the amount of "but I didn't think it was bad until it happened to me" with deportations and medicaid cuts, not surprised.

They definitely have less empathy.

If they had anywhere close to the amount that the left has, they would never have voted for this orange moron.

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.

I am watching the latest episode of Historia Civilis, and a obituary for King Geroge IV was quoted: "The character of which, rose little higher than animal indulgence."

Sounds like an apt descriptor of Trump and everyone within his orbit.

Our sources say that water is wet.

They're just emulating their God Emperor.

What a surprise

Huh, I wouldn't expect a narcissist to like another narcissist

They are all stark raving mad minus the foaming mouth although some probably do foam up

Could have guessed considering it’s a movement named of baby-talk “ma-ga”

yes, well he gets them

It takes narcissistic tendencies to STILL support anything that has been going on

No shit.

is that uhh.. is that image ai slop? not blaming op but it seems.. shiny?

.....why in God's name would a psychopath report that he's a psychopath?

We must look at the huge changes to the Israeli population in just the past 3 years. The swing to the extreme right is with human belief. Again, no different to Nazi Germany.

This can't be true.

No way.

I have them in my family, and I can confirm all of these traits. They've always had these traits, but they are magnified since Trump's first term, and in the second now they've flown entirely off the handle.

I've shared that in concerned with how unmarked cars full of masked men are kidnapping people, and their response was that I needed therapy. When I attended the BLM protests, they called me a fascist.

It's insane. Full stop.

nazis gonna be nazis. not unsurprising.

Of course they do. Lack of empathy is their defining traits. The rest is just the result.

They're also really, really, really, really stupid.

No Shit!

Uh doy!

I am very curious if Trump supporters have higher levels of lead poisoning https://youtu.be/vm_1XLKtGpI

test comment, please ignore

Also, they inexplicably state that three inches is enough for a good Christian woman, and vaginas aren't supposed to get wet.

Hatred is twisted empathy. Demonizing your neighbors only feeds into this. You can use this in your life. If you hate yourself and your egregious, unforgivable faults, try starting with loving others first. It reverberates back to you.

When Nazi alleged war criminals were held in Nuremburg, Captain G. Gilbert was assigned to the prison to serve as their psychologist. He administered Rorschach and IQ tests, and spoke with them at length. He came to the following conclusion:

“In my work with the defendants I was searching for the nature of evil and I now think I have come close to defining it. A lack of empathy. It’s the one characteristic that connects all the defendants, a genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow men. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.”

The people who are into performative cruelty are... callous? Yeah, that tracks.

This seems really obvious to me. Im glad there are studies that look into these things though

Trump supporters report ...

I expect they're not self-reporting. That would require self-awareness.

Who would have thought? (Well, obviously everyone that does not fall into the MAGA cult category.)

Obvious deemed obvious.

I remember reading about brain scans being able to predict your political leanings. I wonder how this would play into it

Would be interesting to see a study looking at the overlap between political support and developmental lead poisoning.

Like, it’s well documented that, at least in the US, there was a catastrophic amount of developmental lead poisoning among the population cohorts that were born between the introduction of leaded gasoline and the phasing out of it.

So do the Luigi's of the world, as well as Firefighters, Paramedics, Doctors, and honestly, the upper-class.

Like we keep telling the DNC, the inability to do what needs to be done is not a flex.

Liberals should stop patting themselves and eachother on the back for being harmless-at-best.

In other news, water reports higher levels of wet. More at 11.

I wonder how many of them are practicing Christians. This is self reported, so it's probably higher too.

“This paper was several years in the making, starting as a result of the 2016 election, and was designed to address why some people might view favorably a political figure with a history of business failures, bankruptcies, misogynistic statements caught on video, use of charity money for a self-portrait, etc,” explained study author Craig Neumann, a Regents Professor of Psychology at the University of North Texas.
