    A Trump voter quote that always live rent free in my head is ā€œHeā€™s not hurting the people he needs to be hurtingā€.

    It tells you everything they need to know about them. They have a shit life, and they want to make damn sure everyone else has a shit life too.

      Before Trump I could pretend I lived in a world where the great majority of people were reasonably intelligent and kind.

          Thereā€™s an internet joke that the Mayans were right about the world ending in 2012; we just didnā€™t realize that the collapse would be gradual.

        Itā€™s still true. Itā€™s not that the majority of these people are actually thinking, ā€œHow can I make the world worse and make the greatest number of peopleā€™s lives bad?ā€ Rather, theyā€™re under the impression that others (probably you) are saying that, and worse, that Trump is somehow their best defense against it.

      Itā€™s a bully mentality. I donā€™t want to make things better for anyone, I want to make things worse for them. Literal playground bully.
