THREAD:

Rightwing Traits:

-Concerned with Purity.

Wants things to be clean. Literally.

Rightwingers rank high on Orderliness (part of the Big 5 Trait Conscientiousness).

They want things clean and organized.

-Sexually Conservative.

Dislikes Homosexuals (disgusted by them, this is driven by High Orderliness).

Wants heterosexual couples to be chaste until marriage.

-Judgemental.

When someone fails, they assume it must be the person's own fault.

Hard on others, and also hard on themselves.

This is driven by High Orderliness.

Tolerance of Inequality:

Rightwingers tend to have greater tolerance for wealth inequality than Leftwingers. This is largely because they start from the baseline assumption that the hierarchy they live in is a meritocracy.

Pathologically, this can result in callous indifference regarding the suffering of those at the bottom of the dominance hierarchy (the poor).

-Tribal

Strong ingroup preference.

Strong ingroup solidarity, and outgroup emnity.

'Ingroup' is also determined by Racial/Ethnic group.

Pathalogically, this can drive Racism.

Not 'Racism' as in 'Micro-Agressions'.

'Racism' as in desiring for different people to be given different rights and opportunities, depending on their skin color.
