(47 posts)3. "The Authoritarians" - free pdf book about this personality type. Very readable and informative.

Helps (just alittle!) with wrapping your head around why MAGA people think like they do. Unspoken subtext reminds us that even if these folks renounce Trump or renounce MAGA, they aren't going to renounce the core beliefs and attitudes that put them in the Trump and MAGA camp. They're pretty much hard wired.

Conservatism, as it has currently metastasized, should be featured at the dark end of the sociopathy spectrum. The DSM 5 is due for an update anyway.

... socialism is simply putting the best interests of society PEOPLE ahead of the best interests of corporations, which seldom, if ever, coincide with the best interests of the society they so love to victimize for their own profit.
