In conclusion, the dark tetrad is mostly unrelated to political orientation.

(The dark tetrad being: psychopathy, narcissism, sadism, Machiavellianism)

I thought this was interesting because the previous theories made sense to me as explanations of political orientation for certain cohorts, and I'd like to understand what creates such attitudes.

Psychopaths correctly identify that both parties of many countries are ran by people more interested in enriching themselves than helping the people.

This is not a symptom of certain parties being more vile, but a symptom of both parties having been infiltrated by these scum.

That does not make the parties equal, so this whole thing really comes off as utterly and completely missing the point.
