Callous and Manipulative: Study Says 'Malevolent Personality Traits' Dominate Trump Voters

[Metaphorical]

I found this statement (from the original article) especially telling:

Supporters of Trump were less likely to feel concern for others’ suffering (lower affective empathy) and more likely to enjoy or be indifferent to others’ distress (higher dissonant empathy). Importantly, these differences were not found in cognitive empathy. Trump supporters were just as able as others to recognize emotions in others—they simply appeared to care less, on average.

These are all extreme extroverted characteristics. In Myers-Briggs terms, the Trump conservatives tend to cluster around ESXJ - highly judgmental, focused primarily on image, wealth and status, with very little introspective capability, highly aggressive and happy only when they can dominate others. They are generally psychopathic and narcissistic.

You also see them clustered in pressured sales and marketing, politics, religion, mid-to-upper level management, sports, law enforcement, and organized crime. They gravitate to power and control over others.
