Study: Trump voters desire power over others, are motivated by wealth, and prefer conformity

Your edgy little rebellions about being antisocial and disliking social norms still don't result in a significant withdrawal from the state of being a social animal. You still pay taxes, use public infrastructure and services, consume the same media, eat and shit the same substances from the same pipelines that a large proportion of your fellow humans do.

You may harbor fantasies of retiring with enough of a nut to live out the rest of your days as a wholly self-sufficient wilderness hermit, but until that point you're competing with and affecting the lives of your fellow humans.

Control over others isn't just a foundational human instinct, it's the context framework of all interactions between individuals of any form of life -- whether geopolitical scale or personal scale.

The fact that you're in denial about this, is adorable.
