Strange but accurate predictor of whether someone supports Donald Rump

[Uncensored2008]

What a load of shit.

It's from Pogo, what do you expect?

 

[Pogo]

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.

Ah! Apparently liberals are Authoritarian. Not surprised at all really.

"Liberal" is the polar opposite of "Authoritarian". Authoritarian means hierarchy; Liberal means that's out the window.

I'd explain further but that's prolly all your tiny brain can handle at once. If even that.

And a wimp is going to the Oval Office and changing things? NOT!

Actually, the wimp Obama is leaving the Oval Office - thank god.

Dime-store psychology vs. Trump.

Trump wins of course............or, unleash the Pope!.......Ooops!.......that was aleady done...............

Actually, Trump was raised on dimestore psychology:

How Norman Vincent Peale Taught Donald Trump to Worship Himself

Donald was 6 yrs. old when it was published and next you'll be trying to convince us that he memorized it by age 7.........stupid dolt!

Ya learn something here every day. Apparently, books have to be read when they're first published, or else they just vanish into thin air. Who knew.

From the article, which is revealing.......

>> Donald was only 6 years old at the time and didn’t read the book until much later, but it quickly became important in the large Queens household in which he grew up, and it would play a critical role in his future. His parents, Fred and Mary, felt an immediate affinity for Peale’s teachings. On Sundays, they drove into Manhattan to worship at Marble Collegiate Church, where Peale was the head pastor. Donald and both his sisters were married there, and funeral services for both Fred and Mary took place in the main sanctuary.

“I still remember [Peale’s] sermons,” Trump told the Iowa Family Leadership Summit in July. “You could listen to him all day long. And when you left the church, you were disappointed it was over. He was the greatest guy.” A month later, in the same news conference at which Trump tossed out Univision anchor Jorge Ramos, he again referred to Peale as his pastor and said he was “one of the greatest speakers” he’d ever seen.

Known as “God’s salesman,” Peale merged worldliness and godliness to produce an easy-to-follow theology that preached self-confidence as a life philosophy. Critics called him a con man, described his church as a cult, and said his simple-minded approach shut off genuine thinking or insight. But Peale’s outlook, promoted through his radio shows, newspaper columns and articles, and through Guideposts, his monthly digest of inspirational messages, fit perfectly into the Trump family culture of never hesitating to bend the rules, doing whatever it took to win, and never, ever giving up. <<​

"Liberal" is the polar opposite of "Authoritarian". Authoritarian means hierarchy; Liberal means that's out the window.

I'd explain further but that's prolly all your tiny brain can handle at once. If even that.

Todays' liberal is an authoritarian, .......you dolt!

Here's a clue moron:

Liberals prefer unity and they have it.
Liberals restrict their opponents.
Liberals do not tolerate any culture ir lifestyle unless they approve of it.

And from the article you posted but evidently didn't read: "..there are certainly authoritarians in both parties."

It may well describe Trump supporters but it fits liberals very well.

No charge for the education. You're welcome.

Yawn! I support Trump because he is a strong leader which EVERY population wants and needs,Trump defends the interests of the PEOPLE and not CORPORATIONS but continue trying to pigeonhole people its hilarious.

It's called "fact and reality," you wouldn't understand.

I would explain it to you, but your party imposes speech codes that prohibit words and ideas not approved of by the party.

Bullshit, and impossible. They're opposites.
.. you dumbass.

Yeah, that's what Uncle Joe Stalin said, huffer...

"They're responding to dynamism, to force, to movement, to smiling, to facial expressions that convey authority," he said. Trump "does it with more force. He does it with more energy. Energy is contagious."
... "People like the idea that deep down, the world is simple; that they can grasp it and that politicians can't," Hibbing said. "That's certainly a message that I think Trump is radiating." <<​

Yanno, smarter minds than ours tried to figure out how Hitler got people behind him too. Which brings up the old adage, "those who ignore history are condemned to repeat it".

Trump defends the interests of the PEOPLE and not CORPORATIONS

Like all those people he's kicked off their property via eminent domain so his corporations can built their giant penises towers and casinos and parking lots? Those people?

Or do you mean those immigrant workers who were exploited to build those giant penises towers?

 

[JakeStarkey]

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.
