An Analysis of Trump Supporters Has Identified 5 Key Traits
A new report sheds light on the psychological basis for Trump's support.

The lightning-fast ascent and political invincibility of Donald Trump has left many experts baffled and wondering, “How did we get here?” Any accurate and sufficient answer to that question must not only focus on Trump himself, but also on his uniquely loyal supporters.

...In a recent review paper published in the Journal of Social and Political Psychology, Psychologist and UC Santa Cruz professor Thomas Pettigrew argues that five major psychological phenomena can help explain this exceptional political event.

1. Authoritarian Personality Syndrome: Authoritarianism refers to the advocacy or enforcement of strict obedience to authority at the expense of personal freedom, and is commonly associated with a lack of concern for the opinions or needs of others

2. Social dominance orientation (SDO)—which is distinct but related to authoritarian personality syndrome—refers to people who have a preference for the societal hierarchy of groups, specifically with a structure in which the high-status groups have dominance over the low-status ones. Those with SDO are typically dominant, tough-minded, and driven by self-interest.

3. Prejudice: It would be grossly unfair and inaccurate to say that every one of Trump’s supporters have prejudice against ethnic and religious minorities, but it would be equally inaccurate to say that many do not. It is a well-known fact that the Republican party, going at least as far back to Richard Nixon’s “southern strategy,” used strategies that appealed to bigotry, such as lacing speeches with “dog whistles”—code words that signaled prejudice toward minorities that were designed to be heard by racists but no one else.

4. Intergroup contact: Intergroup contact refers to contact with members of groups that are outside one’s own, which has been experimentally shown to reduce prejudice. As such, it’s important to note that there is growing evidence that Trump’s white supporters have experienced significantly less contact with minorities than other Americans.

5. Relative deprivation: Relative deprivation refers to the experience of being deprived of something to which one believes they are entitled. It is the discontent felt when one compares their position in life to others who they feel are equal or inferior but have unfairly had more success than them.

I've said it before. Trump supporters grew up with a 300lb strict ass mom who would beat them for eating her last piece of licorice. Now that they're grown up they feel they need the same type of authoritarian figure in their life to feel normal.

I think it says a lot about a person if they idolize Donald Trump...and none of it's good. There are a million reasons not to like that scumbag on a psychological level, but I could hate him just on the fact alone that he's a fat lump of shit who doesn't take care of himself.

There were a couple of Jew dykes the other night at the bar I was at playing pool. They kept calling the cue ball the "cracker" ball.

Jew dykes? You're an overweight homeless uneducated idiot that's been diagnosed as a clinical sociopath that can't get a job driving a truck. You think you're superior to anyone?

[12clicks]

the idiot left and the meaningless things they hang their hat on.............

[TheSquealer]

The recurring theme is always the same with you retards.

"Anyone who has a different view than myself is brainwashed, a racist, a nazi, a white supremacist, is evil, is stupid, is uneducated" etc etc etc.

You have no respect at all for others and their views... and you continually attempt to cloak that vile behavior in some sort of moral superiority as you demonize and dehumanize those you disagree with.

You know, much like actual racists and actual Nazis did.

Democrats are the Party of Hate. Thats why they are losing more and more ground in government... people are continually waking up to this fact.

You're a low IQ monkey that likes to bathe in his own piss and eat his own shit. You constantly degrade the intelligence of truck drivers and state that immigrants are only good for picking your vegetables. I've expressed no superiority to the racist Jew dykes that I encountered. You're a hypocrite and a scourge to society.

[aimike]

Does it really make a difference? Because we still won and keep on winning.

And Democrats keep on crying and doing fraudulent things like creating phony stories about Kavanaugh in hopes of regaining some power.

Liberals are weak and pathetic. Liberalism truly is a disease of the mind.

Pointing out that you're unable to qualify as a truck driver does not equal "constantly degrade the intelligence of truck drivers". Show me where I ever degraded truck drivers. I drove OTR back in the 80's you lying sociopath. And show me one time where I ever said immigrants are only good for picking vegetables. Fuck, no wonder they diagnosed you as a sociopath, all you do is lie.

I'll reiterate; You're an overweight homeless uneducated idiot that's been diagnosed as a clinical sociopath that can't get a job driving a truck. And you think you're superior to others by calling them "Jew dykes"

do liberals think threads like these by foreigners actually help the sitch in USA? a canadian fuckwad posting that trump supporters are mentally ill and have no positive traits at all? that helps?

I'm not defending anyone. I'm talking about YOU and what YOU do, YOUR behavior and YOUR HYPOCRISY

Never happened. Not even once. The very suggestion that you think i'd ever support a "Nazi" shows how thoroughly disconnected from reality you are.

Attacking your stupidity, your vicious attacks, your divisive, hateful and cruel rhetoric and your vile behavior is not "defending" someone or something else.

But then again Bladewire, I don't expect someone who thinks everyone is a "cultist" or "racist" or "nazi" just because they have a different political view than you, to understand the difference.

[Bladewire]

Points 2-5 are the same key traits for racists.

[TheSquealer]

Inventing facts and news, propagating hate and negativity are key traits of the far Left.

[dyna mo]

this sort of "analysis" is self-defeating for psychology. no wonder so many people think psychology is baloney.

Trump spreads truth, factual news, love, peace and positivity whenever he speaks.

Well, considering a couple guys recently copied sections of Mein Kampf and replaced "Jews" with phrases like "feminist struggle" to demonstrate how biased and political this crap is, and their paper then became widely published and celebrated among academics as well as people such as these in this very same crowd, they're obviously not dealing in reality. The same guys calling everyone "nazis" are the ones acting exactly like Nazis.

Hi Squealer,

I could say the same thing about all righties, except that would be false. It's easy to say all blank are blanks and lump them into a single category, but that's only hurts you if you do that.

I get it. Same theme every time. You make an attack, insulting upwards of 100,000,000 people in another country. You ultimately argue you're better than that and don't do the exact thing you're doing. You argue either directly or indirectly that you're superior by virtue of different political beliefs while disrespecting differing views. You then either argue or directly imply that anyone with a different view is inferior to you... and of course, your comments are always punctuated with some good old fashioned Canadian passive aggression at the end.

If this were the 1800’s and we were all in a wagon train heading west, Mark Prince would have had an episode, and would have been tied to a tree because he would have been such a detriment to the group.

I think mark is a good person, but somehow, in his little world, he thinks by hating trump automatically makes him an even better person.

In my dealings with him, he is not. He's a horrible person.

I’ve never done business with him. He always seems straight up

Edit: I just want to add that I’d never not do business with him or form an opinion about him professionally simply based on his political stance. I’d never do that. He seems like an honest guy. That’s all that concerns me professionally.

[dyna mo]

my dealings with him socially. he's a horrible human being. He's part of the problem, not the solution.

[dyna mo]

not trying to get you to agree btw. but that is my experience with him over the years.

He’s a sensitive guy.

I had to look up NPC recently, had no idea wtf it meant. apparently it's the new insult.

Bladewire,
It’s not alt right identity politics. It’s like this: when you approach a character in a video game that is controlled by the computer, it says the same stuff over and over. Much like how you do. ^^^^alt right fake nic, Russian bot, and your word salad of ad hominem insults. You are an NPC, bladewire. As king David’s wiseman told him, “HE IS YOU!”

I do believe that politics is a mental illness, why would someone want to control another if not mentally ill?

it just occurred to me, the platform isn't about is the issue. it's about the moral superiority of the voter. this is why there are never any long tern issues about policy failures.

public housing fails because white people fuck with black people and America is racist. everyone that supports public house is a morally superior human being of elegance and breeding. every time public housing fails, it's whiteys fault


that the policy of public housing to be fallacy never occurs to the morally superior intellects of the left, because they thought of it, and they are always right.

that's a really weird logic circle to me..
