    I don’t get it. If you’re a far-right asshole in America right now, what do you have to be angry about?

      They’re angry that they havent been given permission to start The Purge against everybody who isn’t MAGA.

      Now “the liberals and their courts” are trying to stop HitlerPig’s agenda, and they’re getting really froggy. At some point, HitlerPig is going to make a statement that they’ll interpret as “Go,” and we’ll have massacres all over the country.

      You saw this a lot in Trump’s first term too. Essentially they’re pissed that the world still sucks even though their guy got elected and it’s breaking their brains because they think the problem is that Trump hasn’t killed all the minorities or made women property or whatever it is they think will fix the world and that all hope is lost.

        Its terrifying that rather than having to admit that they were wrong, people will usually double down on their positions.

        “One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” - Carl Sagan

      That’s the thing. They are getting what they thought they wanted but their miserable lives so far have not become one bit less miserable. The cognitive dissonance must hurt like hell.

        Wait until the tariffs on Chinese goods hit in the next few weeks, and EVERYTHING in Walmart and Target double in price. TEMU and Schein have said that the low-cost model is dead, and their prices are going to jump in the next two weeks.

        They are going to have a very hard time blaming it on the Libz, no matter how delusional they are.

      Experiencing the outcomes of their policy positions. That’s the thing about having bad ideas. Even when you win, you lose.
