cut non-defense discretionary spending to levels that existed before the Covid-19 pandemic.
Violent, bloodthirsty war perverts. There’s always plenty of money for war, and jack shit for aid to the mother fuckers who actually live here. Fuck each and every republican politician and voter on a personal, individual level. Disgusting sub-human demons incapable of human empathy. Not devoid of empathy, incapable of it, as in too fucking stupid to figure it out.
“It feels like Festivus, the airing of the grievances, in there,” added freshman moderate Rep. Nick LaLota, R-N.Y. “Folks are expressing what their constituents need, what they require,”
Which constituents? Your voter base, or the military defense contractors that pay you to say a bunch of fuck-shit in public?
Many conservatives are literally incapable of feeling empathy. Conservatism as an ideology is essentially a platform that people with dark triad personalities – ie. psychopaths – can use to control, in a word, idiots.
In the present research (N = 675), we focus on the relationship between the dark side of human personality and political orientation and extremism, respectively, in the course of a presidential election where the two candidates represent either left-wing or right-wing political policies. Narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and everyday sadism were associated with right-wing political orientation, whereas narcissism and psychopathy were associated with political extremism. Moreover, the relationships between personality and right-wing political orientation and extremism, respectively, were relatively independent from each other.
We found eleven significant correlations between conservative [Moral Intuition Survey] judgments and the Dark Triad – all at significance level of p<.00001 – and no significant correlations between liberal [Moral Intuition Survey] judgments and the Dark Triad. We believe that these results raise provocative moral questions about the personality bases of moral judgments. In particular, we propose that because the Short-D3 measures three “dark and antisocial” personality traits, our results raise some prima facie worries about the moral justification of some conservative moral judgments
Despite their important implications for interpersonal behaviors and relations, cognitive abilities have been largely ignored as explanations of prejudice. We proposed and tested mediation models in which lower cognitive ability predicts greater prejudice, an effect mediated through the endorsement of right-wing ideologies (social conservatism, right-wing authoritarianism) and low levels of contact with out-groups. In an analysis of two large-scale, nationally representative United Kingdom data sets (N = 15,874), we found that lower general intelligence (g) in childhood predicts greater racism in adulthood, and this effect was largely mediated via conservative ideology. A secondary analysis of a U.S. data set confirmed a predictive effect of poor abstract-reasoning skills on antihomosexual prejudice, a relation partially mediated by both authoritarianism and low levels of intergroup contact. All analyses controlled for education and socioeconomic status. Our results suggest that cognitive abilities play a critical, albeit underappreciated, role in prejudice. Consequently, we recommend a heightened focus on cognitive ability in research on prejudice and a better integration of cognitive ability into prejudice models.
