I coulda told 'em that.

The study was done at the University of North Texas, so I expect he didn't have far to travel to have plenty of subjects to study!

I could have picked out the ones I know.

Having lived my whole life in a small, conservative farm town, I can tell you these folks were assholes when they were kids, they were assholes as co-workers, they were assholes as family members, they were assholes as neighbors.

The concept of The United States is that, while maintaining our individuality, we work together for our mutual interests.

The concept of MAGA is to screw everyone else, sometimes for gain, sometimes just for shits and giggles.

I found this statement (from the original article) especially telling:

Explains everything about Trump. His Confabulation, future faking, magical thinking, manipulative speech, his debating style, his grandiosity. The way he puts on mask for certain people that make him seem different in person. Trump is a walking vindictive toddler. He has zero empathy. He is performative in all of his actions. He suffers from splitting, all good or all bad, no middle. He rewrites the present to sound good in his mind and forces us to accept the false reality he created. He is full blown cluster B. A Narcissist in the truest evil form

"That Psychopaths eat narcissist for lunch".
You are correct!
Putin is way more of a psychopath than Trump, which is why Trump cowers before him.

All of that fits Musk and that entire technoleech crew around him to a t..

They're backpeddling, Disorder is the word. I have a few myself but try to keep them at bay. These people don't. It's like OCD with murder fantasies is running the country.

I for one can't wait for the crying MAGA compilation videos on YouTube in the near future.

That is all

This reminds me of the old joke about the scientific study to find out why the head of the penis is larger than the shaft. I won’t repeat it here, but you can look it up.

trump whores "who view malevolent political figures favorably" and "enjoy the suffering of others"???

Well, knock me over with a feather!

They just detest us a lot more.

This study is interesting. But the lesson for the wise is "Look in the mirror and ask why a lot of good people like Trump better than us even though he's a crook, a liar, and an asshole." That will help us guide ourselves to a better place and prevent a President Vance.
