Many of them understand the evil they’re committing by supporting traitors like Trump, and they revel in it. They don’t give a shit about the US or any kind of morals, they just want to hurt brown people, or trans people, or women, etc.
Yeah but these people are also stupid, unable to recognize they are also causing their own suffering with this.
A spectrum from evil to stupid? Nah. There can be two spectrums at play, one of evil and one of stupidity, but not a single one. These categories are not mutually exclusive in any way, and usually Nazis show high scores on both spectrums. I have yet to see one Nazi who’s not stupid, and that includes both Trump and Elon Musk.
I would argue that a Nazi is inevitably evil, and being stupid is a prerequisite of being a Nazi, because ultimately it’s a self-defeating ideology that requires stupidity to believe in.
they understand that they’re shooting themselves in the foot, they decide it’s worth it because they’re okay with their suffering if it means certain other people are dragged into suffering with them.
The old zero-sum mentality. If others’ happiness decrease, theirs goes up in comparison, because obviously there’s a rigid societal hierarchy and they must force others down to stay higher up.
I remember hearing about a study years ago where people were basically asked (IIRC) would they rather earn $80k a year while all their F+F earned $70k, or $90k with their F+F earning $100k? A significant minority chose the former, which just fucking sums up the desire to be perceived as ‘better’ trumps actual tangible benefits.
Is that why they’re finding whole voting districts that were 100% red when the voting happened that in reality aren’t at all? Because of the representation?
Honestly, it feels like we don’t care anymore. In the first Trump term he was in the news a lot, pointing out this out that idiotic thing he said. Now it’s a lot less, just occasionally pointing out how he’s changed his stance on these tariffs or that war once again.
The talk of the world, alright. They’re all wondering how we elected the kid who ate rocks during recess.
The rock eater is never as cruel or mean hearted as what we’re seeing now. They just wanted to enjoy their gastric geology in peace.
gastric geology is wild ngl
Not as wild as Gastric Geology GONE WILD!
We’re wondering how stupid you must be to do it twice.

Americans don’t understand the concept of multiple axes due to having just two political parties.

They’re finding out we didn’t, but nobody’s going to do anything about it.
It’s because we have a representative government
