Look up Low Conscientiousness Conservatives. That will explain it.

Cliff Schaffer @cliffaschaffer.bsky.social · 16/06/2026

Yeah. Worked on systems that run thousands of locations across North America. Somebody there has clues how and why it was built. Human knowledge helps. Didn't say it was perfect. I did documentation, myself. You make erroneous assumptions about complete strangers.

Hunter Biden got millions from Burisima. That makes him a traitor. Jared Kushner got billions from the Arabs. That makes him a patriot. Right? Would you care if politicians commit crimes?

I am waiting for the one tiny detail that the AI missed in a million lines of code that now runs some major system and can't be corrected because no human knows what the code does. Everybody's home robots will randomly smash their ovens for no apparent reason. Good luck.

Some interesting questions: 1) Why did the Civil War happen? Slavery. 2) When did the Civil War end? 1865. 3) When was the first time someone was prosecuted for holding a slave? 1942 So, when did slavery end?

You need to convince the 2 out 3 that the LCCs are not to be taken seriously, ever. Destroy their credibility with the only crowd that believes them.

if you don't cut off the source. You may convince someone from the other 2 out of 3 to disregard the latest conspiracy but the LCCs will just come back with another. You are fighting a gish gallop of conspiracies. That's endless. Like weeds, you need to take out the root, the LCC. 2/

LCCs are 14% of the population. They are the roots of the conspiracy stories. They are 1 out of every 7 people you meet on the street and 1 out of 3 Rs. That is, one-third of the Rs are just not persuadable. One-third of your effort will be wasted from the get go. The rest will be wasted 1/

Trump bragged about grabbing women by the crotch. Ask them if they would care if Trump did that to their mother, wife, daughter, or sister. You will find out that few, if any, would complain and many would be downright proud if Trump sexually assaulted their women.

These are the same people who got sent to the principal's office in the fourth grade for disrupting the class to get attention. Treat them the same way the fourth grade teacher did. Throw them out and shun them so the honest people can have an honest discussion.

Just call them out for not being an honest participant not interested in an honest debate. Point out that they are just there to make noise and create chaos. They don't want to build anything. They just want to destroy.

Cliff Schaffer @cliffaschaffer.bsky.social · 09/06/2026

One easy way is to ask: Would you care if politicians commit crimes? The answers are YES, and the rules apply to everybody or NO, I make lame excuses for friends. Don't waste time arguing that Trump is guilty of crimes -- to their denials -- when they simply don't care what crimes he commits.

Cliff Schaffer @cliffaschaffer.bsky.social · 09/06/2026

About 14% of the population are Low Conscientiousness Conservatives. They are the core of the R party. They share narcissism, psychopathy, Machiavellianism, sadism, paranoia and dogmatism. They don't care about truth. They actively prefer BS to truth. First, find out if they would actually care.

See the personality traits of Low Conscientiousness Conservatives. The question is a performance, not a discussion. It is intended to create excitement and emotion, not understanding. Deal with it as a performance. Point out what they are doing and break the act.

Stop them in their tracks. The truth is not only irrelevant, it is to be avoided. Ask one simple question: Would you care if politicians commit crimes? They say they care then will make lame excuses for Trump. If you make excuses for the crimes of anyone then you don't care what the truth is. /1

The Role of "Dark" Personality Traits A distinct subset of misinformation is spread knowingly by users with malevolent psychological traits. According to data compiled in the Harvard Kennedy School Misinformation Review, roughly 14% of people admit to intentionally sharing false political data.

Agreeableness: People low in agreeableness are more likely to circulate political misinformation. Because false political news is often hostile or aggressive toward an opposing group, disagreeable individuals are less deterred by the potential conflict sharing it might cause.

Cliff Schaffer @cliffaschaffer.bsky.social · 02/06/2026

Extraversion: Studies published in the Journal of Management Information Systems indicate that highly extraverted individuals are more prone to share fake news. The social gratification desire for engagement, and urge to actively post often outweigh their evaluation of whether it is actually true.

Other Big Five Personality Traits Beyond conscientiousness, other "Big Five" traits impact social media behavior and news dissemination:

100 1

Cliff Schaffer @cliffaschaffer.bsky.social · 02/06/2026

Belief vs. Sharing: While both liberals and conservatives frequently believe false stories that align with their preexisting biases (motivational reasoning), actual sharing behavior spikes heavily among low-conscientiousness conservatives.

100 1

Cliff Schaffer @cliffaschaffer.bsky.social · 02/06/2026

The "Need for Chaos": For individuals low in conscientiousness, a craving for systemic chaos or a desire to actively disrupt the status quo often fuels their willingness to spread false narratives.

100 1

Cliff Schaffer @cliffaschaffer.bsky.social · 02/06/2026

High Conscientiousness protects: Highly conscientious individuals (who are organized, responsible, and self-disciplined) rarely share fake news, regardless of whether they are liberal or conservative.

Cliff Schaffer @cliffaschaffer.bsky.social · 02/06/2026

The Interplay of Conscientiousness and Politics Prominent studies, including research published by Duke University, reveal that low-conscientiousness conservatives (LCCs) are statistically more likely to share misinformation than other groups.

100 1

Cliff Schaffer @cliffaschaffer.bsky.social · 02/06/2026

Personality and political ideology interact dynamically to predict who spreads misinformation online. Research shows that neither political beliefs nor personality traits act completely alone; rather, specific psychological profiles within political groups drive sharing behavior.

I have seen assertions that a couple of young girls were buried in the desert after failing to survive rough sex. I don't know whether Trump was involved in that. Would I be surprised? What should I do if they offered the bet in Vegas?

See "Politics as well as personality type determines who shares misinformation" on Scientific American. A huge percentage of people actively prefer bullshit to truth. Facts are boring and hard to learn. Bullshit can take you anywhere. Guess how they describe their own politics.

I met a parolee from Folsom Prison. He was a homeless kid of 13 when he found his calling in life. Someone gave him twenty bucks to stab a guy. He said he got a strange feeling when he did it. He checked his pants and found he had an orgasm. Compassion is great, but don't hug dogs with rabies.
