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
