I bet teachers can predict with a fair amount of certainty which of their students are going to be future Republican voters.

And in other news: The sky is made of air.
Alternative title: Psychopaths have more psychopathic traits than non-psychopaths
Yeah, again, science confirms what we knew years ago.
I’m not mad at you, science. It’s your sister Media I’m disappointed in.
The people who literally can't understand empathy for something unless they're directly connected to it, and often not even then? I'm shocked.
At the Nuremburg rallies, the prison psychologist Gustave Gilbert, who cared for the Nazi prisoners, defined evil as "the absence of empathy".
In other news, the sky is blue.
I hate you for making me click that.
Why, did you learn something?
I'm democrat and I'm agree..
It’s their superpower. Think about it. How are we going to defeat a bunch of psychopaths? They’re willing to do things we are not.
For a long time I've joked about making communal psychedelic rituals a thing again. Probably the old raver in me. Would do the trick though.
One way would be to put them in prison when they do something criminal, you don't have to be a psychopath to do that. Yet Trump remains a free man, which is a very bad example to set for other psychos.
Kind of goes with the fact that many republican policies are decidedly psychopathic.
Like taking away food stamps, being against raising minimum wage, denying pregnant women life saving healthcare. Making it illegal to give water to immigrants and on and on.
I've been saying America as a nation has a mental health problem for the past decade. And it's been getting worse. This problem is almost exclusively visible on the right.
Trump is a flaming malignant narcissistic psycho- and sociopath and malignant liar.
To not be able to see that, you must share some of the same traits. Or to see it, and decide you want to vote for him anyway, also require sharing some of those traits.

Among other things such as rapist and criminal. Yet, he's able to walk free and literally become the focus of THREE elections instead of you know actual issues! Where I live, two out-of-city companies own most of the single family homes up for rent; enjoying the slumlord lifestyle to the detriment of everyone else.
I said it earlier, Republicans have an opposition based moral system. They just pick something everyone else hates and cling to it. However, letting Trump be some force to overcome has inflated his ego and is making him a "hero for the conservative cause". His momentum is media hype.
