Conservatives, and in particular Trump Supporters, only exist these days to do one thing and that is to simply “own the libs.” Whatever negative thing which affects anyone and everyone, it doesn’t matter; as long as a lib is either adversely affected, triggered, or gets “owned” in the process by the negative thing, then the action that initiated the negativity is fine.
Trump Supporters will deep six their own needs as long as the need is sacrificed either in service to The Dear Orange Leader or to the owning of libs.
Trump Supporters have exhibited much cruelty and lack of empathy since Dear Orange Leader rose to power. Who knew being a sociopath is now contagious? Cruelty from Trump and his supporters isn’t a byproduct of power, it is a vital ingredient of it. Two years ago,
The Atlantic published an excellent article on cruelty being an essential part of the Trump brand. But simply put, in Trumplandia, cruelty to your fellow man is fine as long as it triggers the libs.
Here’s a scenario that barely stretches my imagination and I doubt yours. Close your eyes. Picture a Trump Supporter shooting themselves in the head just so their blood, bone and brain fragments (what little there is) splatters in the face of a liberal. Can you see that actually happening? Of course you can. In 2020, such a thought experiment is no longer a stretch. Trump Loyalists will destroy themselves as long as the insane act owns a lib.
Why have Trump Supporters become obsessed with owning liberals? It stems from good old-fashioned hatred. Trump Supporters hate liberals. Hate, hate, hate! They hate liberals more than they love themselves, although Trump loves himself above all others. But Hate is why Trump Supporters are willing to pack together like sardines in a closed arena for a Trump rally without masks or social distancing. They are more than happy to kill themselves and society in service of Trump and pissing off the libs. Herman Cain - Thank you for your service!
When the infamous Access Hollywood “Grab ‘Em by the Pussy” tape came out, I remember watching some footage of a Trump rally. A reporter went down the long line of loyalists waiting to get in and asked them what they thought about the now ubiquitous quote. The reporter came upon two women in their 40’s. One of the women already was wearing a t-shirt that said, “Grab Me by the Pussy!” She proudly brandished her ignorant and offensive t-shirt and the two women both whooped it up for the cameras. Without any information from the women, I am certain they only did that knowing that so called ‘lib feminists’ would get angry watching them. I could only shake my head knowing that a person on national tv was willing to humiliate herself and her sex by whooping it up for sexual violence.
