Strange but accurate predictor of whether someone supports Donald Rump

[SuperDemocrat]

Actually to anyone paying attention -- not "strange" at all. It would be strange if it were not true.

>> One of the reasons that Donald Trump has flummoxed pollsters and political analysts is that his supporters seem to have nothing in common. He appeals to evangelical and secular voters, conservative and moderate Republicans, independents and even some Democrats. Many of his supporters are white and don't have a college degree, but he also does well with some highly educated voters, too.

What's bringing all these different people together, new research shows, is a shared type of personality — a personality that in many ways has nothing to do with politics. Indeed, it turns out that your views on raising children better predict whether you support Trump than just about anything else about you.

.... Psychologists use these questions to identify people who are disposed to favor hierarchy, loyalty and strong leadership — those who picked the second trait in each set — what experts call "authoritarianism." That many of Trump's supporters share this trait helps explain the success of his unconventional candidacy and suggests that his rivals will have a hard time winning over his adherents.

When it comes to politics, authoritarians tend to prefer clarity and unity to ambiguity and difference. They're amenable to restricting the rights of foreigners, members of a political party in the minority and anyone whose culture or lifestyle deviates from their own community's.

"For authoritarians, things are black and white," MacWilliams said. "Authoritarians obey."

While some scholars have argued that authoritarianism is associated with conservatism, there are certainly authoritarians in both parties.

.. That Trump's support is based partly on personality rather than policy helps explain why his supporters are so enthusiastic about some of his most widely mocked ideas — such as banning all Muslims from entering the country, a proposal that his opponent Jeb Bush called "unhinged."

"This is in people's guts, not their brains," said Marc Hetherington, a political scientist and an expert on authoritarianism at Vanderbilt University. "This is much more primal." << --- Link

Rumpettes are Passive Authoritarians looking for a Daddy figure. And in other news, water is wet.

You probably look in the mirror and cANT STAND THE TRUTH ABOUT YOURSELF. this causes you to project your flaws onto everyone else.

Go ahead explain to us what part isn't true? Like I said try READING Hitler's own words. I know that would be EEEEVIIIILLLL and might turn you into an EVIL NATZI!

I was thinking, "gee I hate to have this devolve into a thread on Nazism," but then it dawned on me that this is a Pogo thread, really can't go down from there.

I started reading Mein Kampf some 30 years back, but let's face it, these are the ramblings of a lunatic. I did not finish it.

What is not true in your post is that the "Jews one." First off, the Jews were not a party to the conflict, but a victim used for scapegoating, They had no army to field or state to negotiate from.

The Allies won, dependant upon the USA. Russia had men to use as cannon fodder, but absent American machine tools and steel had no way to produce armaments. The T-34 was a well designed tank, but there would have been a total of zero of them had America not propped Stalin up.

So from my perspective, which is not that of an America hater like Pogo or Agit8tr, the victory belonged to America.

History repeats itself. The job of every true patriot is to make sure it doesn't happen here.

"our wish is that responsible folk should once more be brought together so that every class and every individual should be given that authority over those below and that responsibility towards those above which are essential if one is to build up the life of a community"
-- Adolf Hitler; from speech at Stuttgart (Feb. 15, 1933)

I know. Lets hope that another person like Obama never comes into power again.

It is the authoritarian attitude of Trump that frightens Americans who understand what our Republic is supposed to be about.

However, . . . if he can be rupture the way things are for career politicians would be good for the every day worker.

Jake da' Rake doesn't consider the everyday worker as the average American..........neither does the Democrap Party! And Blacks!?............dat's a whole nether story................

You are not an average American, simply a far right rube. Which is your story. Trump does not care about working Americans. He hires foreigners because they work more cheaply.

" they work more cheaply" <----this has got to be grammatically wrong

Sorry, , it's right. Re-wire your brain or are you a Z-I-K-A BB size brained idiot?

Here is the champion of the far right.

 

[flacaltenn]

Wouldn't you think the left would want to duck the concept of leadership since we haven't seen any of it for eight freaking years?

What happened to "O'bama the Great Dictator"?
What happened to all the ExecutiveOrderPhobia?

Having it both ways: Priceless.

Yeah -- you're right. But what if a COMPETENT egomaniac had all that power at their disposal and figured out to REALLY use it???

THis is almost to easy...
DOes anyone remember the pledge to Obama we were all suppose to make when came into office?

I've been posting it here for months. Trump supporters love any "solution" to complex problems that is simple enough to fit on a bumper sticker. It makes absolutely no difference whether or not the solution is legal, practical, or even possible.

Is that like "change". THat fits into one word. His entire political platform was literally one word. Is this because the average obama supporter is to stupid to read anything more than two words long?

Drumpf's supporters seem to take pride in being ignorant and uneducated. They're quite vocal about not wanting the US to be educated and consistently vote for those who want to harm the country.

Its not by accident that he talks like his audience is a mentally deficient 4th grade.

We see those same mental midgets here on this board.

Trumps’s Chumps: The Donald Is Conning The Older And Less Educated, Research Finds

Republican presidential front-runner and professional Benito Mussolini impersonator, Donald Trump, is leading a political movement of less educated Republicans. The Fiscal Times recently analyzed the findings of a CNN/ORC poll which asked likely Republican voters about the candidates and their positions on issues like immigration. The analysis found that,


When asked straight up who they would be voting for, 36 percent of all Republicans in the survey said Trump. However, among those without a college degree, 46 percent said they would support the real estate mogul. Only 18 percent of college graduates, by contrast, said they would vote for Trump. (It is important to note that, in the U.S., people without a college degree represent 68 percent of the population over 25 years of age.)

Proud to be an ignorant American so I can vote for Obama...twice.

I see...dumb people shouldn't be allowed to vote. They have less rights than anyone else to craft laws that affect them. Dumb people should have their lives ran by the smarter halve which is why my healthcare should be managed by the government.
