The study also revealed an asymmetry in the way these traits were evaluated: narcissism and Machiavellianism were sometimes viewed as advantageous, particularly when attributed to a preferred candidate, whereas psychopathy and sadism consistently reduced support. Biden’s narcissism was viewed positively across political affiliations, whereas Trump’s narcissism had a polarizing effect, increasing Republican support but decreasing Democratic support.

What this tells me is that we need to start branding TSF and Muskolini as sadists and psychopaths.
