"[T]rolling correlated positively with sadism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism, using both enjoyment ratings and identity scores," they wrote.

"...lying to people to achieve their ends."
So, for example, that would be like a poster in here making up a story that a radio station was forced to run nothing but self-promos and PSAs during Rush's show because all his advertisers had abandoned him, right? And since nothing of the sort ever happened the poster, let's call him Joe, was lying simply because he doesn't like el Rushbo. But at least the hordes of low info dopes believed him.

Not surprising at all.

Reality:

Sociopaths make the best candidates for any public office. Which party with which they affiliate is a direct function of where they operate. In Blue states they run as Democrats. In Red states they run as Republicans.

If this is a revelation to you then you almost certainly have voted exclusively for sociopaths. Maybe they oughta have their own party?
