Associations between the dark tetrad and political orientation: A systematic review with meta-analysis
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.

That baffles me. As the tetrad is undoubtedly more prevalent amongst the vastly higher incomes, those probably way more likely tend to a specific political side. So while there's no direct correlation, an indirect I would've assumed.
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.
