Sociopaths have a profound lack of empathy for the feelings of others. So do conservatives

Sociopaths have a profound lack of empathy for the feelings of others. They lack the internal feedback system by which normal people monitor themselves. (Most people call this “conscience,” which is probably as useful a term as any.) Sociopaths do not have this and don’t feel bad about abusing other people.

Cnservatives are more likely to rate marginalized groups like the obese and homeless as “disgusting” and show greater disgust toward photos of vomit, blood and feces than liberal participants. Conservatism is rooted in beliefs that the world is dangerous and threatening. Conservatives see the world as a more threatening place because their brains predispose them to being fearful.

In essence, it appears that conservatives share the same symptoms as those diagnosed as Paranoid Socipaths

You cant paint that broad of brush when you talk about conservatives! I work with the homeless and I dont find blood and guts disgusting not all that is why I watch Dr Pimple popper all the time! Yes I am conservative and I voted for Trump but this right here is what makes my skin crawl about liberals they are so quick to be judgmental and rude when ever it suits them! I am far from what you think I am as a conservative woman! I work in animal rescue and I do have immense feelings for other people!

@Paige42986 Good people are good people, on both sides of politics or of god. But sadly a lot of the commentary we get here does fit the description.

@Paige42986 First, I challenge you to fault my first sentence about sociopaths.
Secondly, it is a fact that conservatives are disposed to being distrustful and fearful.
You have completely destroyed your own defense by saying

but this right here is what makes my skin crawl about liberals they are so quick to be judgmental and rude whenever it suits them.

I'm sorry..I wish I could give you the benefit of a doubt but I find it extremely difficult to believe that you are a trump consevative who works with homeless when conservatism is responsible for a majority of homelessness; Whether it be from financial ruin from employment loss, massive healthcare costs, or the gay youth thrown out into the street by their "Loving Christian" parents because they are gay.
