@Npars01 @thomasfuchs I‘d like to leave this article here – from August 1941.

At the time this 1941 article was written, we didn't have the predictive analytics capabilities of today.

The greedy. The takers. The status conscious. The mediocre.
The religious. The brainwashed authoritarian who cannot persuade, only coerce & menace.

The best predictor of Trump support isn't income, education, or age. It's authoritarianism.

New psychology research indicates that social rigidity is a key predictor of cognitive rigidity
Recent research found a strong connection between social rigidity and cognitive rigidity, suggesting that inflexible thinking in one area tends to be associated with inflexible thinking in another. The study, published in Psychological Research, provides evidence that people who embrace rigid political and social attitudes tend to perform worse on tests of problem-solving abilities.
