You don’t know about this. In 2010, an article was published in the prestigious psychology journal Personality and Individual Differences which alleged that being right-wing is associated, at about 0.5, with the trait of “psychoticism”: low impulse control, low altruism and high mental instability [The nature of the relationship between personality traits and political attitudes, by B. Verhulst et al., Personality and Individual Differences, 2010]. Naturally, this proof that Right Wingers were mad and bad while liberals were saints was gleefully reported by the Main Stream Media.

It fitted perfectly with speculations by Frankfurt School German-Jewish refugee Theodore Adorno in his 1950 book The Authoritarian Personality that being right-wing is, in effect, an externalization of being mentally ill and thoroughly antisocial.

However, six years later, the MSM was far less vocal when the authors of the 2010 paper admitted that they’d made a “coding error” and that, as such, their results were exactly reversed.

It was being left-wing that correlated at 0.5 with being mentally unstable, antisocial and impulsive! It was the right-wing people who were stable and pro-social [Why It Took Social Science Years to Correct a Simple Error About ‘Psychoticism,’ by Jesse Singal, The Cut, July 14, 2016]!

Since then, more and more research has been published. And it continues to give the lie to the Leftist view that they are the forces of “good” while “conservatives” are the forces of “evil.”
