I understand that, but at the same time, I still don’t think that’s the majority of the voter base for Trump.
I could be wrong here, but with things like the “hang mike pence” (done by a fraction of the, relatively to the nation, small Jan 6th rioters) to the “your body my choice” messaging (primarily from figureheads, and likely being repeated by many young men that are moreso hopping on a bandwagon than actually assessing the phrase’s meaning and going “yeah, I actually do think raping women is okay”) I don’t see any evidence it’s a widespread phenomenon affecting anywhere near the majority of the actual people in these groups, nor that (in the latter case) people are saying it with an understood intent to cause harm.
If you have any statistics showing otherwise, I’d love to see them, but I haven’t seen anything that demonstrably shows the majority of Trump’s voters, either overall or within the smaller Gen Z cohort, are psychopathic individuals that enjoy causing pain.
Sure, I agree, but enabling or tolerating assholes is different than, as the original poster mentioned, “like seeing the pain they cause.” That’s all I was disagreeing with. I still believe their beliefs and who they support are wrong, but I don’t think most of them think they’re causing pain, or like it if they do.

Every Trump voter is either an asshole, enables assholes, tolerates assholes, or is some combination of those things.
