Yet he said in his speech, no matter what he does, the Dems will never be happy. Uh, apparently the MAGAts r the ones who r ALWAYS MISERABLE & IGNORANT. They continue to get their own way yet......
Being mad is their default state. Like, they're mad first, and then they're drawn to the group of angry people, and the actual details of what they're mad at is beside the point.
The Fox/Trump Hatemonger Fearmonger machine is relentless.
It can’t stop activating them or they would quit watching.
They are addicted now and must have more.
More hate.
More fear.
Equanimity and contentment are not Fox’s goals. Or Trump’s.
"But I thought he was only gonna hurt the people we hate." 😒
Or some other bullshit excuse for letting their hatred, racism and ignorance do their voting for them.
Half are mad that there are still brown people in America, the other half are mad because their Medicare/Medicaid, Social Security, and food stamp benefits are being taken away and there are still brown people in America.
It was never about electing a president. It has always been about being racist, misogynistic, and hateful towards anyone who wanted to make our country better than it has ever been by including everyone.
And when they get rid of all the Others, they Otherise each other. Take that to its logical conclusion, there's one left standing. Are they able to accept themselves? They don't know how to accept anything.
And then there were none.
I put it as: the politics of hate is rooted in self-loathing.
MAGA wants a world with no rules. They expect to be able to do as they please when they please. They expect everyone to look up to them in their anger, ignorance, and violence. They want access to guns for those who refuse to stand quietly when they do as they please.
their grievance and resentment stems from their shitty values and rather than growing and learning and being better people they double down on being shitty fucking humans
Exactly this. They want to make people's lives miserable and have us love them. They also think that winning the election means we have to concede they are right and good, which we aren't and won't. We're supposed to submit, and instead we're fighting as hard or harder. And they hate that.
I was thinking about that today. Those of us that were yelling as loud as we were allowed before he was elected, which made us targets of hatred, are again in the crosshairs bc those who voted for him realize we were right or that somehow WE pushed him to these extremes. 🤨😉🥹
The economy and immigrants and "woke" and DEI might be what they talked about, but it was always about the anger and revenge and cruelty. It's just 100% emotion all the time and they think that's an accomplishment.
They're mad because they got the president they wanted. It makes their perpetual victimhood a little harder to sell. It feels like work and that sux, so they're pissed.
They are addicted to Hate, The GOP and other organizations push fear and hate to suppress peoples frontal lobes to envoke a fight/flight response.
MAGA is Brainwashed/Mind-controlled hate-addicted sheep. There will never be a time that they are satisfied… even after US-All are consumed.

Truth! We had a handful of MAGATs at our protest on Saturday. They were the only people being rude, screaming ugly things, harassing others. They know the one finger salute very well. One yelled directly in my face twice. I just stared at him. He walked away angry and frustrated.
They exist in a state of perpetual anger: Nothing is ever good enough for them, no one respects them enough or gives their opinions the deference that they so richly deserve. Everyone around them is an incompetent asshole trying to get over on them. You'd be mad, too!
I thought I was going crazy all my life. It's ALWAYS been the folks I've met that are always pissed and are total jerks, are middle aged white people. I've lived in two red states. Trump gave them a reason in 2016. These folks have always been here.
That’s what I have been saying. But the sad truth is they will never be happy. They have this empty hole in themselves where love and empathy would be found. They instead fill it with hatred.
Not for nothing, but their white supremacist, non-dei administration is so incompetent & chaotic, it's really proving the point that they're not, in fact, the superior race. Quite the opposite.
Maybe that's why they're so mad.
Today, their greatest cultural output is sitting around all day watching Asmongold complain about video game titties. A far cry from the Sistine chapel, I must say.
Every single one of their colonies in Africa fell in quick succession once they were no longer shooting at spearmen. White supremacy was always a delicate house of cards, and one held up by the Chinese invention of gunpowder no less.
In a book I read a while ago, set in 1912, the white character says to the Chinese character that white people didn't manage to conquer the world because they are smarter or better, but because they are the most cruel.
Perhaps, though I don't think it's necessarily intrinsic. More akin to the findings of the stanford experiment, where if you give someone absolute power over another they'll eventually be tempted to abuse it. And once that happens, more follow suit. Before you know it, you have a culture of cruelty.
Fun fact - the Stanford experiment only tested wealthy American white boys. It’s findings are specific to that intersection of sex, race, class & culture, it hasn’t been replicated with other demographics & the experiment itself is unethical in the first place.
The Project 2025 plan is specifically to have all emergencies, all the time, for constant executive wartime power.
These people have been led to war for more than a decade and identify as proud "warriors" bonding over their shared wartime dedication and "sacrifice".
What's the sense of being an asshole unless you can act like one. They'll be mad about everything for the rest of their lives because, well, you know...
They exist as traumatized adult children. They will NEVER acknowledge the massive trauma they all sustained as children. So, they will take all of their pain out on everyone on this planet instead.
Its a sickness! These people are not right in the head. I see it when I talk to my father. Its weird talking to him now. Its like he has gone insane. Im not even being dramatic. Every time I finish a conversation with him im left thinking "WTF is wrong with him, this isnt normal"
Trump's base voted for him as a result of rewiring their brains by social media to be in constant anger mode. Everything sucks now, look at these girls dancing, the west has fallen. Social media fired their brains and it's not undone by getting their president.
As a Virginian who knows of two houses within bike distance of me with confederate statues in their yards, one with “April is confederate history month” yeah I guess they do.
Yep. At least we know these folks are always out there. A friend pointed out to me that we went to junior high school with the guy who wore the Nazi shirt when he invaded the capital.
As for me I can safely say my confederate ancestors can enjoy whatever circle they ended up in down there and deserve it. Hell, the only thing keeping me from fucking up those statues is certainty they have cameras.
It's all they know. They will remain mad even as they achieve goals and material conditions worsen and use that anger to cast about for more scapegoats and alternate realities to punch down at new categories of imagined enemies.
They're so unhappy & not at all introspective so they'll never accept responsibility for their own unhappiness. They blame everyone else for their own faults & can't handle "the enemy" standing up for what's right. If what they believe in is wrong where does that leave them? They can't change.
Bruh. They stay mad! Anger is their fuel. It's what keeps them watching the news and supporting them. Their anger is redirected over and over again to inane issues.
That's how they live. MAGA exists because they need an enemy. They are powered by anger, hate, bloodlust, and they have absolutely no idea what to do with themselves when they don't have a group or an issue to rail against.
I live in deep red Florida. I went to vote last week in the special election. I looked around the room & it was all elderly,white,pissed off looking rednecks. I knew EXACTLY who they were voting for.
one said “why are we even voting? We’re all voting the same”
I showed him my ballot & he stfu
I’m in Florida 1 and republicans outnumber us in my county by 5-1. It’s miserable. 8,000 Dems to 42,000 republicans. But WEAR which is owned by Sinclair 🤮actually reported that Escambia county flipped blue!!
I’m so pissed at Nikki Fried. Six months without a Representative and she couldn’t manage to have a Dem come and give a Town Hall.
My district was desperate for information and Mike Waltz was under fire for his national security chats. You got a gangster, we got fat, angry Randy Fine. 😡
I’m not on twatter anymore. But from what I understand, the right wing crazies over there are bragging about losing their 401(k) portfolio. I mean, what kind of crazy stupidity is that? They’d rather go go bankrupt than admit their mistakes.
Well of course. They didn't vote for him because they liked what he said he was going to do, they voted for him because a blogspot article they read on Facebook said Kamala was going to take their guns and give them to transgender immigrant DEI hires.
It’s simple Black Aziz.. they are just hateful, angry people. Like the old Coot next door who makes life miserable for everyone in the neighborhood. They just love to hate because it keeps them from admitting that they hate themselves..
21% of American adults are functionally illiterate, while 54% read below a sixth-grade level. Only 12% of Americans have Level 4/5 literacy (proficient), meaning 88% of Americans lack the advanced reading skills needed for complex analysis and evaluation.
Well yes; it is a product of American Federalism. American federalism is structurally maladaptive from a fiscal capacity perspective. The current system creates a fundamental mismatch between responsibility for service delivery and capacity for funding, particularly during economic downturns.
Our dysfunctional education system is a product of American Federalism. States can never fully fund the provision and allocation of necessary goods and services that every community needs to maximize the potential of its residents; American states are effectively operating like corporations.
I hope Dems use the anti- tariff bill as leverage to get 47 off blk ppls ass, but they won't. We're already at the bottom,so, If the empire falls... we're ALREADY AT THE BOTTOM!🤷
There's a real intense focus on who's "in" & who's "out". The "out" group is supposed to suffer & look foolish while the "in" group is supposed to have all these riches & privilege. Even when "winning" they need an "out" group to define them. Who is "out" is blamed for the failings of the "in".
I mean look at Morgan Wallen. He got the privilege of TV exposure and he *still* needed to distinguish himself as part of the "in" group by pushing back on the "out" group as soon as he got what he wanted. And then of course went to sell T-shirts talking about how the "in" group is better.
They're still mad because they know they're getting fucked beyond belief by their cult leader and the next step of being in a cult is to kill themselves for their leader. That day is coming.
They are pathologically and chronically angry people who, if someone gave them a million dollars in a purple velvet bag, would criticize the color of the bag...
I feel you. I do. I had very little empathy until someone gave me a different perspective. They're finally realizing they've been lied to. They're coming to terms with the fact that their problems are not bc black & brown people. They're products of a system that has consistently failed them.
It doesn't make it right. It shouldn't take them being victimized to realize they're not superior or protected. Some may change course in their beliefs as a result. We can hope. It could be a better late than never situation.
I had hoped for the last 43 years. My whole life I learned about the betrayal of our government. I didn't realize until the last 10ish years that I was 1 of very few smart and self educated. I can't have empathy for someone who doesn't educate themselves or join cults. Never Trumper, here.
I get that. The bottom line is that they live in an echo chamber. They struggled in schoolbabd don't trust the system. Going against their peers is hard. Having access to quality education is a privilege that many don't have.
I hear you, but will add, I didn't have the best education. I had some great teachers, but had to homeschool my last year of HS to graduate/walk with my class (that's a longer story). I didn't continue on as I didn't want the debt. I taught myself and I've kept learning. Ignorance is a chose.
If a butterfly farts in China, it pisses them off because the butterfly effect of a Chinese butterfly fart ruins their day somehow. Then they want to ban foreign butterfly farting.
They're mad cuz no one is allowing them to enjoy the pain they're inflicting. Apparently when you tell them they're heartless and lack morals it's reducing their fun.
They are living a world that is sustained by manufactured anger. It is going to get very confusing soon and we would do well to continue to talk to them lest they take the bait being fed to them on the daily.
Mad stays. Left a friends repair shop the other day from undercurrent of anger that anyone would question violating due process or crashing market. I know they are well off from hard work but why the hate? Stopped in to check the temp and it didn’t take long. Ate up with it.

It can’t stop activating them or they would quit watching.
They are addicted now and must have more.
More hate.

Equanimity and contentment are not Fox’s goals. Or Trump’s.
be like that.
whenif shit hits the fan
none of them
can be on my #hungergames team
Or some other bullshit excuse for letting their hatred, racism and ignorance do their voting for them.
Racism was the tune on their pied pipers flute.
Expect them to viciously lash out at the victims of their ignorance before trying to fix themselves.
And now they have to look in the mirror to see who to blame.
But they will never admit it.
No one told them when they were young that self-esteem comes from doing esteemable acts.
And then there were none.
I put it as: the politics of hate is rooted in self-loathing.
Like Hitler, Trump ginned up and cultivated rage and hatred in his MAGA supporters over a period of years.
Trump isn’t done exploiting them, but they’re so busy picking up the stream of Trump piňata candy they don’t even see what’s coming next for them.
their grievance and resentment stems from their shitty values and rather than growing and learning and being better people they double down on being shitty fucking humans

Maddest
Maybe that's why they're so mad.
These people have been led to war for more than a decade and identify as proud "warriors" bonding over their shared wartime dedication and "sacrifice".
Endless war keeps the sad away.
They seem to just be angry and pissy and petty all the time.
I’m not going to jump to a conclusion. I don’t view it as a conscious moral failing. I just want to understand.
Many people means many reasons, I’m sure. But, dear god it has to be a frightening way to go through the world.
He's an equal opportunity asshole.
To quote Patton Oswalt, they're going to miss everything cool and die mad.
one said “why are we even voting? We’re all voting the same”

My only consolation? They’re going to F’ing suffer.

FWIW I have MAGA family I've cut ties with bc they think I have no common sense BECAUSE college brainwashed me.
Hate is not a strong enough word for how I feel about DJT.
