An Analysis of Trump Supporters Has Identified 5 Key Traits

[Guno צְבִי]

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. Authoritarian personality syndrome—a well-studied and globally-prevalent condition—is a state of mind that is characterized by belief in total and complete obedience to one’s authority. Those with the syndrome often display aggression toward outgroup members, submissiveness to authority, resistance to new experiences, and a rigid hierarchical view of society. The syndrome is often triggered by fear, making it easy for leaders who exaggerate threat or fear monger to gain their allegiance.

Sounds like today's college PC crowd--safe places, no speech that offends, shout down or ban offensive speakers, "shaming" those with different political views including physical violence or intimidation..........

Sounds like today's college PC crowd

The concluding paragraph on "Authoritarian Personality Syndrome" is not quoted in the OP:

While research showed that Republican voters in the U.S. scored higher than Democrats on measures of authoritarianism before Trump emerged on the political scene, a 2016 Politico survey found that high authoritarians greatly favored then-candidate Trump, which led to a correct prediction that he would win the election, despite the polls saying otherwise.

Must have been that college PC crowd!
