Many conservatives exhibit a "punishing" personality type, much like Donald Trump.
A "punishing" personality type often stems from traits related to high antagonism, such as low agreeableness, high psychopathy, or sadistic tendencies, which lead to a desire for control and pleasure from others' suffering. These individuals frequently display a lack of empathy, a sense of entitlement, and a tendency to inflict punitive measures on others to assert dominance.
