Yeah, I know plenty of left wing people are shitty. But I'm watching Lindsay Ellis video on the shitty fan fic writer and I can't help but think "probably a Trump supporter." Maybe that's unfair and liberal bubble thinking. But whatever. I reserve the right to assume anyone who cuts off is a Trump supporter.

I imagine there is a correlation between shitty personalities and shitty politics, but I don't know how strong it is and I know they don't go fully hand in hand. So eh.

Eh, I assume Trump supporters are shitty people, not the other way around. Though sometimes the signs are so blatant I can't help it but to assume.

Yup lmao! I work in retail and every time I have to deal with a customer raising a shitfit I can't help but think "this fucker's voting Trump".

Most people's personalities aren't defined by the box they check on the ballot.

There's plenty of shitty people that don't vote at all and even more shitty people that live outside the US so... no

Depends on more than just "being a shitty person."

There's levels and methods to shittiness.

Shitty like being a bigot, racist, sexist, anti mask, etc? Then yes. I also think people who have "dont tread on me" plates are also Trump supporters.

Every bully, brute, meathead, and jackass I knew in school became a Trumper. So yeah, mostly.

Not at all. Shittyness comes in many different forms. It's not a left or right thing. It's a human being thing.

A bit perhaps.
Much, much, much more the other way ofc - i.e
if(person.supports.Contains("Trump"))
return PersonType.Shitty

Definitely the case for certain kinds of shitty... but there are a lot of kinds of shitty people.

I don't live in the US so that would be weird.

Also that's a very weird way of thinking.

No, not at all. I read some pretty vile shit the night RBG passed on social media. And it wasn't from the right.

Absolutely, and to be frank, it generally pans out to be true. I've never once been surprised to find out someone was far right leaning, simply based on personality alone. Anyone can be shitty, but conservatism is defined by a dense matrix of so very many kind of interconnected forms of shittiness, and it's extraordinarily rare for a person to be shitty in just one way.

Most people's personalities aren't defined by the box they check on the ballot.
But there's a heavy correlation, and in fact a strong case for causation if reversed.

not shitty per se but you can smell from miles away the republican stench with some people.

specially on social media, if you see a popular white guy not saying a word about voting in 2020 you can asume they'll vote Trump.

Trump supporter do overlap with shitty person in venn diagrams, but latter do overlap with so many other things as well.
