Oh yes.
As time goes by, i think many (not all but many, if not most) right-wing politicians just came to conclusion that there are A LOT of stupid people, and to maintain a political career without much real political effort, they need to ramble about topics stupid people like. Currently in US it went off the rails so hard to the point it must be thoughtfully tailored for stupid part of population who finally find their purpose in life - to follow a figure who ramble within the line of their stupid mindset - and this is really one of results.
Stupid people don’t care about any of political tasks anyway: healthcare, foreign policy, plans, financing, public sector all around them, overall wellbeing, etc. No, stupid people care about a figure to follow and frustrations to cope. So the administration behind and around trump just need to keep rambling about imaginary enemies which stupid people can blame for their own stupid life choices or to heal personal frustrations, they need to maintain a cultish figure, and again, this is one of results.
Bottom line is that right-wing politics all around the world follow that lead, transform their political efforts into talking to stupid people who are easy to manipulate because of absolute lack of analytical thinking. Which counts a lot of people.
It is embarrassing way to show in public, but it’s easiest way for politician to win a seats in parliaments, to parasite as a part of government, and if got struck with a big win, to get position to streak business deals on a government level, to bathe in corruption, which reads one word: money. Money and power.
At what point does a fixation on stupid people become an egotistical self-flagellation? Probably by the third paragraph. You could have good points, but they’ll be lost in your logorrhea. For real, go ahead and count how many times you use the word stupid. This is coming from someone who agrees with you. It just comes off as pretentious and dilutes your point.
No, with respect, I mean self-flagellation. It’s like beating off one’s own ego in the sense of masturbation, not performing oral on one’s self in auto-fellatio.
I get what you mean about repetition, and again, I agree with the sentiment (I live in the southern United States; I’m steeped to the point of drowning in stupid Republicans,) but after a handful of paragraphs of repetition, it doesn’t have as much impact. Less is more IMO
I really do understand, but don’t you see what I’m getting at? Don’t let unbridled emotion show through repetition to the point of redundancy. It drains the emphasis. Lean on your lexicon, use a thesaurus, as Muhammad Ali would say, rope-a-dope.

do you maybe mean auto-fellatio?
also, repetition of a word or phrase is a common rhetorical device used to drive home a point–in this case, “republicans are fucking stupid”
which they are, and IMO, it can’t be repeated enough how fucking stupid they are

“Self-flagellation” means whipping yourself in penance.
