It's the foundation of Trump support.  He inflicts harm on those that conservatives were told to hate.

Only he doesn't really do much to harm me directly (or anybody...well I guess except non-citizens), except to the extent he turned the entire country into a shameful disfunctional wreck which harms everybody not just people conservatives don't like.

Often the harm that is caused it simply insults.  Trump's supporters call it "Fighting for us".
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

There are plenty of cis het white guys that have to purchase their own health care or like to drink clean water or not be infected by a pandemic the federal government is neglecting.  I could go on further but the main point is that staggeringly incompetent management of the federal government hurts all races, classes and genders, although admittedly not always with same effect and intensity.

It's like Poll taxes.  "Yeah they hurt us, but they hurt them more."

Well I guess that is true. Just break shit hoping it will hurt the unfavored people more.

A very dark and nihilistic way to look at things.

The so called conservatives have been quite nihilistic for a while now, and dialled it to 11 with Covid-19 (in the US at least).

Exactly.

From a non-American perspective, Trump has truly created a unique situation.

In the past, plenty of people outside of America have loved America, and plenty of people outside of America have hated America.

What is truly new, is that maybe for the first time ever, lots of people outside America are pitying America.

For all its undoubted wealth, power, and creativity and industriousness of its people, under current leadership it's people appear to be worse off than people in comparable nations elsewhere.

To turn envy into pity is quite the achievement for the current government.

I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

If her generation is so hardcore why does she spend all her time whining pitifully on Facebook?

The sharing of Three Percenters stuff is a bit troubling, though.

Then again, if it's good enough for police officers, then it's probably fine. :)

What kind of dimbulb thinks little kids flipping the bird is praiseworthy?  It's almost like they're saying, don't whine about your problems, go beat somebody up or shoot them.

Apparently, many dimbulb, because it's hard to see a huge disconnect between this attitude and anti-environmentalism, anti-BLM, anti-mask, etc.
