      It’s all about white grievance.

      They complain about intellectual elitists because they make them feel stupid. They complain about progressives because they make them feel backwards. They complain about the woke because they make them feel intolerant. They feel that everyone looks down at them for being dumb, backwards, intolerant assholes and that makes them angry. They express that anger by wanting to hurt people and Trump promises to do that. It’s about being mean. It’s about lashing out. They don’t understand that Trump and the Project 2025 christofascists will cast them aside the moment they have consolidated power. By then it will be too late.
