It's authortarianism!
If I asked you what most defines Donald Trump supporters, what would you say? They’re white? They’re poor? They’re uneducated? You’d be wrong. In fact, I’ve found a single statistically significant variable predicts whether a voter supports Trump—and it’s not race, income or education levels: It’s authoritarianism. ...
My finding is the result of a national poll I conducted in the last five days of December under the auspices of the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, sampling 1,800 registered voters across the country and the political spectrum. Running a standard statistical analysis, I found that education, income, gender, age, ideology and religiosity had no significant bearing on a Republican voter’s preferred candidate. Only two of the variables I looked at were statistically significant: authoritarianism, followed by fear of terrorism, though the former was far more significant than the latter.
Authoritarianism is not a new, untested concept in the American electorate. Since the rise of Nazi Germany, it has been one of the most widely studied ideas in social science. While its causes are still debated, the political behavior of authoritarians is not. Authoritarians obey. They rally to and follow strong leaders. And they respond aggressively to outsiders, especially when they feel threatened. From pledging to “make America great again” by building a wall on the border to promising to close mosques and ban Muslims from visiting the United States, Trump is playing directly to authoritarian inclinations.
Not all authoritarians are Republicans by any means; in national surveys since 1992, many authoritarians have also self-identified as independents and Democrats. And in the 2008 Democratic primary, the political scientist Marc Hetherington found that authoritarianism mattered more than income, ideology, gender, age and education in predicting whether voters preferred Hillary Clinton over Barack Obama. But Hetherington has also found, based on 14 years of polling, that authoritarians have steadily moved from the Democratic to the Republican Party over time. He hypothesizes that the trend began decades ago, as Democrats embraced civil rights, gay rights, employment protections and other political positions valuing freedom and equality. In my poll results, authoritarianism was not a statistically significant factor in the Democratic primary race, at least not so far, but it does appear to be playing an important role on the Republican side. Indeed, 49 percent of likely Republican primary voters I surveyed score in the top quarter of the authoritarian scale—more than twice as many as Democratic voters.
The One Weird Trait That Predicts Whether You’re a Trump Supporter
It reminds of The Simpsons episode where Sideshow Bob runs for mayor. When he's being hauled away, he says "You want to be ruled by a king with an iron fist!"
How did the study determine you were an authoritarian?
What would you expect when he just ate the Hildebeast in the latest poll.... Some SOUR PUSSY there

When you get smoked in the election by Hildebeast, who are you going to blame, Vagifail?
I'm not betting on the last one!
- Minorities?
- RINOs?
- The establishment?
- Fraud?
- Ebola?
- Yourself and your delusions?
Clinton leads Trump by 10%
RCP rolling poll with THAT OUTLIAR poll shows her only up by 2.5% And WELL WITHIN the MOE... He's got the momentum, the Hildebeast has... what...PRISON??!!

Vagitard, no doubt you were one of these "conservative" idiots who was sure that all the polls were skewed in 2012, and that Obama was going to lose.
Once again, you show zero understanding of basic mathematics, just like when you were posting dozens of threads of the millions who were going to die of ebola, when in fact it was two.
The one outlier in that poll has been Fox News, which, of course, is no surprise to those who aren't politically retarded. Instead, as the Trump Fluffer you are, you have posted several threads of a Gallup online poll, with a methodology that is weak at best.
Now, get back to posting irrelevant Trump threads. Your quota of 50 a day hasn't been met yet!
