Is Donald Trump a malignant narcissist or simply a selfish ashole? This question interests many people in both mainstream and alternative media. I think it's more interesting to understand why so many people vote for him. And why do evangelical Christians vote for him, a man whose main interests are money, women, and power?
Is it because people want a strong leader who can guide them, a father figure, a commander, a boss, like the chimpanzees? It doesn't matter where they end up; someone has to take the lead. He can lead his flock straight into hell if he wants to. And everyone is happy that they have a group to belong to. This social behavior is, I suppose, an inheritance from our distant ape past. We share many similarities with our close chimpanzee relatives.
However, some people don't want to lead, and they don't want to be led. They didn't vote for Trump, and they didn't vote for Kamala Harris. They didn't bother to vote. How do you explain this fact from your evolutionary biological perspective?
