States with the most psychopaths are Democrat controlled states.

I couldn't find the explanation of the actual causation in the article. So can you qoute that?

No. It shows the states with the highest instance of psychopathy. It dosent take a brain surgen to note the states with the highest numbers and what political party controls them.

consider it as supporting information but the truth still stands as to what party has the most psychopaths.

It's a model of predictive theory and it is controversial because it's regarded as being limited and empirical.

Is that sufficient for you?

It still doesn't negate the facts mind you.

I wouldn't gloat si much...
From the article
  • The authors cautioned that their measurements were indirect, and that psychopathy in general is difficult to define precisely.
And

  • Today, the leading tool is the Hare Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R), which measures traits such as pathological lying, impulsivity, parasitic lifestyle and lack of remorse or guilt
  • ...
Doesn't that sound like Trump?

Much more but I can't be bothered

Evidence of that please with an actual quote from the article.

From the article:
"
Ultimately, the researchers cautioned that their methodology was indirect, and that “some amount of noise will inevitably be captured in the results.”

“The meaningfulness of the results found here is contingent on both the translation of Big Five personality traits into psychopathy and that psychopathy is something that can be conceptualized as a statistical aggregate across people,” they wrote. “And if the estimates are conceptually meaningful, the question remains of whether the size of the differences across regions is practically significant. The weak relationships found in the data can themselves be interpreted as support for skepticism, but whether that interpretation is correct requires further research beyond the scope of the presentation of this methodology and results.”"

Did you actually read and understand all of it? What do you think that text says?

My view on this is that democratic states are more considerate of mental illnesses and have no problems in accepting that someone is mentally ill. Wheres pub states, more pub politicians are reluctant to admit it's even a thing, perhaps because their fearless leader will get his bumps felt

Not too bad of an observation. I suspect that the causes are radicalization of each other , and the results of that radicalization it what breeds the Psychopaths that are going out and doing all the Carnage.

There's no question the ones who like to stir up the pot the most are the loud mouth left wing activists and the right wing oftentimes reacts in kind and then you get what you see in the news.

I find that the states with the most problems are democrat-controlled States which of course prompted this thread.

I posted the article because it's supporting of what I feel is going on. My responses will be on how I dictate it. You don't set those parameters for me. I do.

But I'm still more than happy to read your opposition to whatever I post.

Yeah, feel. That tells it all.
So again, how do you feel about this from the article:

"Regionally, psychopathy was clustered in the Northeast, with Maine as the most psychopathic state."

WE'RE NUMBER 1! WE'RE NUMBER 1!

Something to consider is that Maine is a good example of a possible correlation between "psychopathy" and politics.

The article states: "The results consistently showed that people in rural areas tended to be less psychopathic, while urban areas were more psychopathic."

Maine has two districts, one of which is coastal and more southern and the other more rural. District one is more democratic and populated, and the other more republican and sparsely populated. One reason for this is exposure to diversity; you're more likely to support social justice issues when you get to know a variety of people.

Also, more populated, urban areas tend to have a greater number of homeless folks, who, being subjected to extreme poverty, have a lot of mental health impacts and may be homeless due to deinstitutionalization (which did occur in Maine). There's the possibility as well that urban areas may be more attractive to psychopaths (possibly due to services to help or diagnose may be more available) or that something about living in a rural area may be protective against psychopathy.

Well I would go back a little bit in time and find out why Trump ran in the first place. Like I said in the past, some people create their own monsters.
