    Also, they may still be happy if they are affected, as long as the outgroups they hate most are affected worst.

      They’ll find a way to blame Dems in the end too, I suppose.

        Oh, absolutely. Umberto Eco pointed out that this is how fascism works.

        The enemy is both weak and strong. “[…] the followers must be convinced that they can overwhelm the enemies. Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.”

        The Dems are both craven lickspittles who are not manly enough to drive a truck, and yet strong enough to control everything even if they haven’t been in power for a decade.

        As we can see, fascism is bullshit for idiots.
