Abstract

Donald Trump's ascension to the Republican Party nomination and election as President of the United States in 2016 was a surprise to many political analysts. This article examines the notion that personal values played an important role in support for Trump. Using data from the Trump Similarity Values Test (N = 1825), a web based personality test that provides users with feedback on their similarity to Donald Trump, this article shows that personal values played a role in support for Donald Trump. First, people who supported Trump were more likely have a value profile characterized by low Altruism and high Power, Commerce, and Tradition. Second, people with a values profile similar to Trump's (presumed) values profile were more likely to support Trump. These results held even after controlling for party affiliation and political ideology, indicating that personal values were an even stronger predictor of support for Trump than traditional political attitudes.
 
Yep, but they will go to church. I'm dealing with a 'pastor' again today who for damn sure voted for Trump. How the hell are we still surprised and unprepared for these pricks. Not a new thing really, nothing has changed.

"Religious Sociopaths relate to true Christians as wolves relate to sheep. The Bible warns of this. Wolves will come to divide and scatter sheep. The apostle Paul warned Christians in his day for three years, day and night with tears, knowing wolves would come and leaders will rise up within their midst, twisting the truth to mislead so they can get their own following. The apostle Peter also warned of this happening.
"

Reminds me of the The Green Mile." line with John Coffey 'he used their love to kill them'. Trump's core supporters are shitty humans.

A similarly useful and similarly scholarly study.

First, people who supported Trump were more likely have a value profile characterized by low trust in establishment politicians and low tolerance for politicians who could not state they opposed unfettered immigration or would not state that massive immigration was a security risk.

Second, people with a tax payer profile of Americans who actually pay income tax and do not live off the govt either through welfare payments or corporate welfare were more likely to see their support Trump as a protest against the lying politicians in Congress and the D.C. swamp including FBI people like Andrew McCabe.

Coming from supporters of the party that put up Hillary as their nominee. Very amusing.
More...

Only amusing to stupid people as in the tweet above:

"Republicans thought George W. Bush was ready to be president. Then they thought Sarah Palin was ready to be president. Then they thought Donald Trump was ready to be president."

We give you science & technology, arts and far more. Guys like you would still be perfecting the wheel..

90% if what you blame Hillary for is made up stuff but you just can't remember.
