Conservative thinking has its place but global leadership is not one of them.

The guy is a hobbyist survival expert. This is grounded conservative nessesitys yet he's putting a foot down baseline. That is basically liberalism progressive foundation. Call me crazy but usa being the richest country we can make better lifes for everyone.

Also we need to establish better standards for conservative because they will do anything and everything to survive. Like becoming pimps to their own daughters to get food.

We hear reports about sex trafficking but majority of it is domestic inside small towns. These are real problems yet we blame people across the border.

No! Say it ain't so. How could science possibly detect the subtle hints? Was it their nifty t-shirts with witty slogans? Their rage fueled rants with spittle running down their chin? Or maybe the guns they were clutching like frightened children? The constant lies? The psychotic drive to do harm to others that makes them smile with glee?

[slatyb]

Of course they do -- all those things go with an authoritarian view.

[DrPepper12]

Shocking news. Just shocking. 🙄

Democrats will believe any propaganda if it fits the narrative. You just have to look at what leftists post publicly to see what they’re all about.

[Asker]

Trump supporters themselves reported these characteristics.

[Asker]

@avicaenna this is research not propaganda.

[Snakeyes7]

Lmao this study used PBS as a source to make the assertion that Trump has "dystopian views." Totally not biased at all.

[Asker]

You obviously didn't read it.

[Snakeyes7]

I had to read it to find this out.

[Asker]

No, you didn't read it, but assuming that you actually did which I highly doubt you certainly don't have a clear understanding of the research. The things that were reported are the things that the subjects themselves, all of whom were conservatives reported about themselves. Is that too difficult to understand?

[Snakeyes7]

"Meta-analytic and behavior genetic research reveals that low openness (e. g., low intellectual engagement, closed-mindedness)..." which is hilarious because literally any time I hear a right-winger make an argument the counterargument usually stems from being some sort of ism or phobe. Including "anti-science" which if you know anything about how science works, that is the least scientific thing you could ever say.

"... and low agreeableness (e. g., interpersonal antagonism, low trust), respectively, are associated with higher RWA and SDO (de Vries et al., 2022, Sibley and Duckitt, 2008)." This is not necessarily a bad thing. Back to the science thing, you SHOULD be very disagreeable. Disagreeableness is not conforming to ideas that they find absurd and find no shame in challenging it. A much meaner way to say that someone is agreeable is to say that they are gullible.

"Also, RWA and SDO are associated with lower honesty-humility traits (de Vries et al., 2022), and higher psychopathic traits (Roy et al., 2021)." Of which they do not define any further.

> Longitudinal research suggests that race/ethnicity may moderate the associations of RWA and SDO with conservative political behavior (Duckitt & Sibley, 2016) and gender might moderate the association between personality and conservatism with a stronger association for males than females (Kivikangas et al., 2021). These moderation effects may be due in part to the fact that RWA and SDO are linked with racism and sexism (Osborne et al., 2021, Sibley and Duckitt, 2008, Sibley et al., 2006, Roy et al., 2021, Whitley, 1999)." In which they never explain how, they just assert that they are because a certain demographic just so happens to fall within this category.

"The relational component involves identity demarcation for parochial altruism toward adherents vs. antagonism toward dissimilar others and thus includes identity markers (e. g., hats, flags, etc.)."

[Shiprex]

Does not surprise me. It's obvious if you think about it.

[frysauce]

Can you argue in favor of your own opinion without an outside source backing you up your claim?

[Asker]

Of course I can, but I think the opinions of Trumpers themselves are much more accurate.

[exitseven]

I read the article. It really looks like Trump supporters have a backbone.

[Asker]

No, it looks like they are manipulative, callous, psychopathic narcissists by their own accounts. If that is a description of your version of a "backbone," then you are right.

[NaultD]

Let's take both prospective at face value. Let's call it conservativitism. Then look at the alaska meeting recently both putin and don are conservative leaders and nothing got done. Call it a backbone call it psychopathic the world is more dangerous with both of these leaders.

[exitseven]

@NaultD you do not know if nothing got done. Putin now is willing to sit down with Zelensky. Maybe nothing will come of it but Trump deserves credit for even doing something that seemed impossible a few months ago. This war never would, have happened if Biden did not get away with stealing the reelection. Having a weak, feckless president is more dangerous that having strong leadership that has a great military and is not afraid to use it.

[Asker]

Nothing got done, and Trump deserves nothing. Biden stole nothing. Making use of the military when it is not needed is a waste of money and dangerous as hell.

[exitseven]

Biden and the democrats stole the election. Besides the trucks pulling up after the polls closed and unloaded boxes of ballots, boxes of ballots bein pulled out from under tables after a supposed flood caused the polls to close , districts that counted more ballots than there were registered voters,. There were many statistical irregularities and for the first time in history America elected a candidate that ran on a platform of raising taxes, taking away your gun and shipping your job to China. Get real.

[Asker]

Offer proof that Biden OR ANYONE stole that election, ot stop LYING ABOUT THIS!

[blackeagle007]

Exactly. I’m fucking sick of how that election was stolen. The maga’s automatically think it’s stolen because Trump says it! So dumb and ignorant good god.

[FunkyMonkee]

Since when do democrats support Trump?

Liberals are more likely to suffer from mental illness

Those are opinions, not proofs. Try posting research. Conservatives suffer from Sadism.

[Opinion Owner]

The ny post has been around for a long time

[Asker]

The length of time it has been around does not add to its validity. Trump supporters tend to have the mental illness of sadism.

[Asker]

Trump supporters are also far more likely, out of necessity, to engage in denial, since they are the ones who concoct, promulgate, and believe conspiracy theories.

[Dongie]

They are much more honest than leftys.

[Dongie]

Just stroll through YouTube and you find many Karens disrupting others. This is the cause of mental stress and strife.
