It's nihilism and solipsism. At least its ultimate conclusion. When you don't believe in anything than you gravitate towards materialism and stature, power and cruelty. Because you can see it. Then you can feel it. You crush others to feel yourself alive and in control. You don't believe in any evidence that you can't touch and feel. Reality is all fake. You are all that is real.

It’s true. I work with some of them, and they strike me as angry, sad, pathetic people. Some of them do well financially, but they’re angry that deep down inside they’re not cool or interesting or desired. They make crude, insensitive jokes and guffaw together. But it’s obvious they’re insecure and compensating for something. They generally have low character and are willfully ignorant.
I don't know a reichwinger, male or female that isn't a bully. All bullies are insecure cowards. That's why only by standing up against them, do they finally go away.
Idiots say and do idiotic stuff and that's how we know they are idiots. The problem is that Trump has conned them into being useful idiots (MAGA morons), who believe his blatant lies and mindlessly do his evil bidding.

I think people who believe the fear-mongering fell for voting for him. I know compassionate 'intelligent' people who voted for him. I think they were red-pilled and chose to believe bs crime stats. Some may be virtue signalers and in fact may be deeply angry inside, but the person I have in mind is a heartfelt 'Christian'. I don't think all of them are miserable. Some choose ignorance, and others don't realize the implications of voting for him. He's right about some, but I struggle to generalize to all.
You hit this one right on the head! For example you just described EXACTLY the MAGA guys I know! I mean the whole entire description of their lives and attitudes.
My parents in law are rich. My father in law was a federal government employee and has a fabulous retirement, it made him rich. They don't need Social security but get it anyway. Recently they realized that their vote for Trump will destroy their 2 sons chance of any retirement. They called my husband to say they didnt need Social security so they didnt care if Trump took it away, never once considering what it would do to us, and they dont care so long as their hate is personified.
you're so right! they are angry and feeling sorry for themselves. trump appeals to that anger and boosts their esteem. what's the saying recently? trump is a weak man's strong man.
I have two family members who are diehard Trump supporters. Both of them are VERY well off (one is a multi millionaire), each has a lovely home, well traveled etc. They could have anything they want. Yet..they are two of the most miserable people I have ever known. Constantly complaining...have been for decades. One is a victim of her own doing, the other should have more sense. I blame right wing media. It started with Rush Limbaugh...then Glenn Beck...and now they have FoxNews on almost all the time. I was shocked to hear that Laura Ingraham is a favorite. She is one of the most hateful on there.
Somewhat on topic but I’ve heard that based on studies that most/many well off people end up being more dissatisfied with life in general. Probably has something to do with chasing material goods their entire lives and finding out that things will never, ever fill emotional voids.
Tell them that Ingraham is unmarried, has an adopted kid from Guatemala and has a gay brother. Some might see this as below the belt or whatever, cut that crap this is war.
@@yellowblanka6058Agreed. They are deliberately, willfully ignorant. Intelligence is a choice, just like happiness. You can be as smart as you want to be.
They would rather that everyone suffer, than risk someone (they disapprove of) getting a step ahead of them. You cannot "reach" people who would burn it all down rather than share it.
It's about class and sucking wealth to the top. Not about poor brown people working their asses off for a better life. The ruling class are masters of the bamboozle.
It is somebody else's fault, just not who they've been told to blame. When CEO's are making 350 times what working folks make there isn't enough left to pay a decent wage. When rich people own the government there isn't enough money to pay for universal healthcare, daily childcare and decent schools. They have every right to be pissed off, they've just been lied to about who's responsible.
It's one thing to be told a lies, it's another thing to be so gullible, ignorant, intellectually lazy and uncritical as to mindlessly believe the lies.
You are right; misery loves company. Fox News is poison. I remember the '90s when Rush Limbaugh was on the radio. I had co-workers at the Post Office who listened to him while on their route---hours and hours of that hatred day in and day out. Here's something I saw on the internet the other day: "Don't blame others for the road you're on---it's your own asphalt."
My brother disowned me for not liking and/or believing the lies they were even telling us were lies lol. "I love him and you're offending me!" lol. Cults do that to people, though. He called me deranged for not believing lol.
The Demonrat Party is the biggest cult to have ever existed outside of the Muslim religion and/or the Clinton-Obama cults. Thank goodness the Butcher of Benghazi is so far gone as to be irrelevant and the O's are following close behind. Good riddance.
I heard someone suggest that they are discouraged and miserable, and have lost faith in every single institution that they might have thought would offer help. Then don’t think he will help them either. But he is a release valve for their feelings
So why not fight the good fight to reform these institutions for the good of all vs supporting politicians who would burn the majority to the ground to benefit the wealthy elite? I just don’t understand supporting somebody who doesn’t hide the fact that they want to pull the rug out from under you and your family….
I agree with your thoughts about angry people who blame others. They don’t think their decisions have had an impact on their quality of life and happiness. We are responsible for our lives and circumstances.

I watched your video and I got to say you have described 99% of Trump voters to aTI have family and friends who have all made very bad choices in life. They have made very bad decisions also and yet do not want to take ownership and want to blame someone else
I think you're right on point. I have a divorced MAGA friend who is 62 YO (on disability) who has 3 kids from two wives. He's a functioning alcoholic who smokes pot every day. He's pissed at immigrants and anyone else the right wing tells him to be pissed at for his lot in life. He has a good heart but he NEVER holds up the mirror or accepts responsibility for his lot in life.
It is that they are unhappy but it is coupled with a sense of entitlement. They feel entitled to a life they don't have and, whilst many people see that their life is not what they want it to be and start to implement changes to fix that problem, these people, in their sense of entitlement, seek to blame others for THEIR problems and unhappiness, rather than actually be active in fixing their lives and making them happier. It's easier to point and blame than it is to look inward and start making the changes to improve your life.

Some guy in North Carolina is suing trump because his family is scared and he felt he needed to be armed. We need a class action law suit against this orange sasquatch. We seriously do!! a retired parochial school teacher friend of mine is frightened. we seriously need it !!!;
I have always thought that a class action suit against the orange sasquatch would be warranted. But now it's too late for that because he has a lot of so called immunity.
The "Supreme Court" did the people in this country a terrible disservice. Don't think for a minute Trump is not going to take full advantage of that power.
I have been suggesting a class action lawsuit on many TH-cam comments sections. The Twurp… in a very real way has spread his Narcissism all over the country like a virus. It is now understood by psychologists that mental illness spreads from person to person and also through social media and probably through any contact with society. This communicable characteristic is probably an aspect of why the society is so mentally/emotionally sick. Refer to the wonderful Dr. Mandy Hanson (I think that’s her name) for more information about this.
Well articulated. The bottom line is "education" but even that has its limitations because if a person wants to consume propaganda 24x7, even education won't help.
Trump voters since the election in my experience, are still acting the same way even after they got what they wanted. Has anyone else ever noticed the defensive, almost attacking way they come at you if you even try to talk about our politics? This is systemic and won't go away even with Trump gone. My father was angry, racist and prepping for years because Fox news told him the black people and the government were coming to take his job and guns. He died believeing that shit and lived miserably because of it. Fox took my dad away from me. Fox took away decency and honesty and may well have succeeded in taking our democracy. The damage is immense but because they call themselves ENTERTAINMENT ONLY (yeah, right) they are allowed to continue to tear us apart for the money. "It's not about blue or red - it's about the green" ~ Rupert Murdoch
I noticed several characteristics about trump voters I know personally. Some are family members I no longer communicate with. Others were ex co-workers and neighbors. First, most appear to be grifters and free loaders. They show up at a neighborhood cookout with a dish of apple slices, and proceed to stuff themselves with BBQ and chug a lug beer brought by others. When they were co workers, they were people you could never really trust. You always had the feeling they were waiting for the opportunity to stab you in the back. Just about all were very disingenuous. Most were also undependable. They were the kind of people that could sniff out the possibility that something might be expected of them, and they would always manage to disappear just as they were needed. I have not been surprised by any people I discovered were trump supporters. Most of the time it was "that's just what I figured". And yes, they were grievance collectors and always felt they were being put upon by one group or another. They are out of my life, permanently.

This is my maga brother. Miserable and angry and stressed all the time. Blames everyone else for everything. He’s a really hard person to be around because it’s always negativity and complaining. I see him once every 2 years or so and that’s fine by me.
I, for one, am chock full of grievance and anger, but it is because our lying media and our corporate owned politicians have sold us out, until even dreams are out of reach.
I have said this since 2017! I saw it first hand with several friends who were going through a divorce, not getting the job they want, and on the other side of 30 and seeing how they basically peaked in high school. They all slowly started talking about how they are getting into MAGA. I have said, they don't have alot going for them, and they NEED this.
This is something I've wondered for many years about conservatives in general. Their values seem designed to upset them. They don't like change... but they live in a world (a whole universe even) whose primary characteristic is change. They like tradition but no tradition can last, and it's very apparent regarding their religious traditions these days. Their "individualism" makes them want to tend to "me and mine", so they don't want to be bothered by anybody who isn't part of their ingroup. But it's a mutualistic world so we all live inter-dependently with others, whether knowingly or not, because there is no other option. And on and on. So the world doesn't work the way their brains want it to. The days when there was an evolutionary advantage to their sort of brain ended when living in small villages ended. So all that (and more) must be a source of constant frustration. Everyone who isn't like them must seem like an enemy of all that's "good" in their eyes. And so "everything sucks" and it's "everyone else's fault!"
An excellent summation of what is going on the minds of those miserable MAGA fools. They would rather see the world destroyed than see anything change in an ever changing universe.
Great comment, and yes, their inability to accept change and adapt as just a natural course of life (you can't stop it after all), makes them just angry and frustrated. Let's face it, what's one of the greatest roads to happiness, or at least contentment? Accepting that things change and life goes on, so just let it go. There is a stubbornness to their mindset that won't allow them to just LET IT GO. Also, many conservative men feel they have been cheated out of something...there is always that 'entitlement'' mindset amongst, particularly, conservative men, who want what their father and grandfather had, but know, deep down, they can never have it.
Here we are trying to understand them when they won't even try to look inward to understand themselves, much less anyone else. That's the difference between us and them. Which is why we can vote for someone else's benefit. They only seem to be able to vote for their own. And they don't even understand what they actually need.
You can’t reason with people when they’ve angry like this. The rest of us will be angry to when they jack this country up. I just can’t see us meeting in the middle any time soon.
My late father was a trump supporter. He died in 2022 and the last few years of his life were miserable. He was aggressive about politics. He was arrogant, rude, condescending and angry. His life revolved around politics and very little else. He wasn't happy, but he wasn't happy when trump won either. My brother is also a trump supporter. He feels entitled to respect, holds grudges for minor reasons and goes on endless rants about the problems in his life. He wouldn't admit it if he were wrong. He'd merely distance himself and claim, "I never really supported trump." No guts. I witnessed this up close and it just confirmed what I was seeing on social media and television.
I made up my mind this year that I was going to be a lot more patient when driving my car, shopping during the holidays. I have gone out of my way to be polite with pedestrians and other drivers instead of being frustrated. It seems to be working out pretty well so far. A lot of people smiling and making friendly gestures. We do have some power to mold our attitudes, but it does take some effort.
My poor Dad rest in peace had 4 years of cancer and used to be such a physically active man, hunter, fisherman, mechanic, chemists, built his own house with his 2 hands and all of sudden stuck in his living room. And became absolutely addicted to Fox News. I would visit him as the good son driving 1 hour to see him with my wife every Sunday for 4 years. Meanwhile he was hard of hearing and was blasting Fox News every visit. It was hell to see him getting chemo poisoned from that and his mind poisoned by Fox News turning him into a hateful very angry person. It got so bad my sister called me and said Dad died and I didn't even cry and I said I'm sorry to say I am relieved he isn't in pain anymore but also, I don't have to hear him anymore. ...on a lighter note, once out of desperation I ask him to turn off the volume and we watched all the beautiful women they dangle to hypnotize their male audience. I noticed under the one anchor's mini skirt she had under panties with hearts on it. And we rewound to make sure I wasn't seeing things. I said Dad just watch it for the babes no need for any sound, it didn't work he was already in his 80s by then...Fox News ruined my dad's last 4 years and my former tight relationship with him:(
Kamala and Tim Walz are the complete opposite - I'm baffled as to why America wasn't ready for their confidence, competence, positivity and optimism (the qualities we want in our leaders). The one answer that resonates with me is: "The election was rigged!"
Americans are too damn dumb to know something good when they see it. When the rest of the world was celebrating Beatle mania, so called christian’s were burning their albums. And after the southern kids burned the albums, their so called youth pastors mounted them.
There is a lot of truth here that many of us are too polite or too respectful to say out loud. Thanks for your courage to speak. Your voice gives me courage. It's a sad fact that legions of my fellow Americans are so miserable and dejected that they are willing to vote away their rights and their futures in response to gut level hate-and-blame propaganda.
I think unkindness is in their DNA. Actually I think the reason the US doesn’t have all the benefits other countries have is because there is an inherent unkindness in the US. Along with its need to interfere in other countries and yet are actually isolationist by nature who know little or nothing about the countries they mess up.
Low pay, low education. It's appalling that they are Americans and are treated like this. Now, no more overtime pay. It's going to hurt them the most. I'm moving back to my blue state. I can't get help for my mental health or my SSDI housing. Co-pays in mental health and because I make too much money at $12,000ish a year. It's horrible here. It'll get really bad when they cut everything.

@ as long as I have known her, disneyholic…….last several decades the year passes….would go and rub it she went here and there he he he he take every other friend but me, come and shove cell phone pics in my face……glad thats over..whew
They definitely let go of that slogan “pull yourself up by your bootstraps…” haven’t heard that one from them in a while. Anytime I hear them complaining. I tell them that.
To give them a target for their hate distracts them from who is really in power. Who decides your pay? Who decides which health plans you can pick from? Who tells you what consumer items you need to buy to be happy?
My mother lived in an isolated area, and became addicted to Fox (Socalled News). For many years, I could not have a sensible conversation with her. She always circled back to idiotic assertions, she got from Fox.
I met a man the other day who told me that he was an angry republican. I soon realized that he is just an angry person regardless of what is going on. that seems to be the personality of these Republicans. it's sad and scary.
I agree with 90% of what your saying outside of they think it's a terrible economy. Ever since Trump won there's been several studies and polls that have suggested the inverse is happening. That Republicans now think the economy is great. This was always about racism and a lot of people have tried to make it about other things. And yes maybe what helped Donald Trump win was the 2-3 percent of voters who were mad about inflation, Gaza war and immigration. But for Republican voters and people who lean Republican it was always about race.
you are correct trumpy made it ok to be racist and LOUDLY. People don't get there are 10's of millions more racists here now than 150 years ago. 1865 population was 30 million now 330 million. Throw in control/dislike of women in power Geraldine Ferraro loser Sarah Palin loser Hillary loser Harris loser. Don't get me started on Roe
I agree with your assessment of those people. But for me to be complete, one factor also must be discussed: Since Ronald Reagan, a big part of the former middle class was left behind -- because the lion share of economic growth was going to the billionaires. So when many people are frustrated there is a real reason for that -- but the reason are not the immigrants or the other Fox escape goats.
My aunt, who passed away and good riddance, was a HUGE Trump supporter. She only cared about herself, she made our immediate family miserable. She blamed Obama for everything that had nothing to do with her. I don’t have one nice word to say about her. She was a dentist but ignorant about history and politics and never realized how uneducated she was.
Having had an abusive stephmother, I take a slightly different take. These people conflate abuse with support. They are trained to hate, absolutely. They are told they're being used, but they will never understand it's the abusers that tell them so. My dad still worships my stephmother, while she was only in it for herself and ruined my life. But facts don't matter to these people; they don't see the difference between abuse & support. They think orange muzzelini is their light & saviour, while in reality he's only in it for himself, ready to abuse the USA for his own, perverse desires.

For some reason I don't get (of course there is dementia) people seem to feel that it's OK to spout off politics at the senior center. Like there's no other small talk they can come up with at the lunch table. This is why I don't go there much now. But..............I am tracking the price of eggs, gasoline, etc and going to start going back about March. If the topic comes up, I'm going to have my binder with before and after prices in it.
The other part of the equation is fear. They're terrified of anything different or that they don't understand (and a distinct lack of intellectual curiosity means there's a hell of a lot that fits in that category). In turn, that fear turns into hate. And yeah, it's impossible to reach someone whose intent on never being reached.
Well the place they are in is probably gonna get way worse. People in this country have it better than most so sick of all the whining there are people that don’t have anything due to no to no fault of their own.
Better than most people? Maybe in some third world countries. Here in Northern Europe, people have a much higher standard of living and a longer life expectancy.
We lived in VT since 72, mostly in Stowe. In 2022 we moved to a rural town near the Connecticut River and NH. So it feels more like NH at times. Just about everyone is a Trump supporter. As time goes on those folks are miserable or angry mist of the time. Depressing for such a beautiful state.

It’s true. I work with some of them, and they strike me as angry, sad, pathetic people. Some of them do well financially, but they’re angry that deep down inside they’re not cool or interesting or desired. They make crude, insensitive jokes and guffaw together. But it’s obvious they’re insecure and compensating for something. They generally have low character and are willfully ignorant.
I don't know a reichwinger, male or female that isn't a bully. All bullies are insecure cowards.
That's why only by standing up against them, do they finally go away.
Wow 😮😅
🎯
I work with the same people, I avoid them at all costs. It's so exhausting. 😩
They went to trump university, 😆
They are utterly devoid of self examination.
I voted for Donald Trump because he's a cool dude. Seriously
They are bored because they have no freaking intellectual curiosity!
Idiots say and do idiotic stuff and that's how we know they are idiots. The problem is that Trump has conned them into being useful idiots (MAGA morons), who believe his blatant lies and mindlessly do his evil bidding.
Yes and that should be emphasized I have in- laws that are dodos!
I agree. They are impossible to talk to you because they want everything in the most childishly simplistic terms. There are no gray areas, no nuance, no empathy.
@@Maineprepper-o1b They are impossible to talk to because they want to be left alone and live their life in peace. They may not like you or the way you won't shut up about things that don't affect them.
That's my thoughts on it as well. They need a way better quality of hobbies.
If you love yourself, you aren't hateful towards others.
So true!
🎯
I’ll tell you why I despise myself: Because I never left America before it became the living hell hole that it now is.
That's not true at all. I just find it funny how this kinda stuff gets so often repeated on the internet as if it was an absolute fact. There are many people love themselves but hate others. The kids who bullied you didn't do so because of self hatred.
Well said!
This is what Murdoch has done to America.
This is what Americans have done to their country! Other countries have Fox but only Americans follow it slavishly like you lot do!

Yes. Stupid Furcock and his Cocks news network serve up the bullshit and it gets eaten up quicker than bacon and egg burgers at Maccas.
@@lg223Mate, Rupert Murdoch is a US citizen because he wanted to buy Fox and needed to have US citizenship to do so. So, mate, the problem with Rupert Murdoch is because you Americans allowed him to become a US citizen. Grüße aus Australien. Tschüss.
They are about to become a lot more miserable.
Maybe being more miserable is what makes them happy.
Unfortunately they are also going to seek revenge and blame all of their misery on the left. Their militia leaders will be getting released soon and many of these militia groups are online now recruiting and promising Revenge on the left.
It was never about groceries. "Eggs and bacon" is the new code word for racism and misogyny
I am sick of their petulant, raging chip on the shoulder Behavior.
It’s called a lack of self responsibility.
They are absolutely done in Kruger about this as well. They are parasites and cause problems yet think they are the salt of the earth.
They talk a lot. They talk fast.
They talk loud.
They interrupt.
And yes they are angry.
Yep, I've seen it in my spouse's family and my own. If they only knew how stupid they appear.
Trump isnt talking to them anymore..he reserves his words for his rich supporters.
Trump not talking to them is going to make them even more angry 😠.
@lg223 I hope so.Maybe it will open their eyes.Someday they will realize trump views his mob of misfits as the great unwashed.Good only for their votes.
i can tell you first hand this is fact. They started to get agitated when Obama was first elected, and they just keep getting worse.
So true.
Makes me not want to imagine what would have happened if a black woman became president.
I’m miserable…but it’s due to facing the bleak prospects ahead of us with Trump in power.
I hope you find a way to be happy anyway. That’s our super power🎉
I voted for Trump, but I'm still mad
Deplorables!
Yep. Deplorables.
Basket of deplorable people
Hillary was right, 😆
I think a loving compassionate and intelligent person would never vote for Twump
I think people who believe the fear-mongering fell for voting for him. I know compassionate 'intelligent' people who voted for him. I think they were red-pilled and chose to believe bs crime stats. Some may be virtue signalers and in fact may be deeply angry inside, but the person I have in mind is a heartfelt 'Christian'. I don't think all of them are miserable. Some choose ignorance, and others don't realize the implications of voting for him. He's right about some, but I struggle to generalize to all.
This writer voted for Trump. I consider myself "loving"; "compassionate and intelligent".
@ then why did you vote for a convicted sex offender that wants to deport workers who are trying to have a better life?
Well said. trump feeds the hate.
Wow…on the mark.
It's sad that the people that need to hear this won't be listening.
You hit this one right on the head! For example you just described EXACTLY the MAGA guys I know! I mean the whole entire description of their lives and attitudes.
SCARY SHIT...
My parents in law are rich. My father in law was a federal government employee and has a fabulous retirement, it made him rich. They don't need Social security but get it anyway. Recently they realized that their vote for Trump will destroy their 2 sons chance of any retirement. They called my husband to say they didnt need Social security so they didnt care if Trump took it away, never once considering what it would do to us, and they dont care so long as their hate is personified.
How awful. I’m sorry.
you're so right! they are angry and feeling sorry for themselves. trump appeals to that anger and boosts their esteem. what's the saying recently? trump is a weak man's strong man.
I voted for Trump and he won, but I'm still really mad
you are absolutely right. unhappy people want EVERYONE to be unhappy
I have two family members who are diehard Trump supporters. Both of them are VERY well off (one is a multi millionaire), each has a lovely home, well traveled etc. They could have anything they want. Yet..they are two of the most miserable people I have ever known. Constantly complaining...have been for decades. One is a victim of her own doing, the other should have more sense. I blame right wing media. It started with Rush Limbaugh...then Glenn Beck...and now they have FoxNews on almost all the time. I was shocked to hear that Laura Ingraham is a favorite. She is one of the most hateful on there.
Somewhat on topic but I’ve heard that based on studies that most/many well off people end up being more dissatisfied with life in general. Probably has something to do with chasing material goods their entire lives and finding out that things will never, ever fill emotional voids.
my good friend a political science prof at the OSU has a great saying. Repubs are either millionaires or morons
Tell them that Ingraham is unmarried, has an adopted kid from Guatemala and has a gay brother. Some might see this as below the belt or whatever, cut that crap this is war.
I have two brothers like that. I've said it for years that they're miserable. I get by and I'm grateful for what I have.
@@sean-m6s I am SHOCKED, SHOCKED I tell you that nobody has put a ring on that ice queen.
All they do is whine. just a bunch of whiners.
Yet their favorite line is “facts don’t care about your feelings” while they operate entirely on emotion and bigotry and shun objective facts.
@@yellowblanka6058Agreed. They are deliberately, willfully ignorant. Intelligence is a choice, just like happiness. You can be as smart as you want to be.
They would rather that everyone suffer, than risk someone (they disapprove of) getting a step ahead of them. You cannot "reach" people who would burn it all down rather than share it.
Well said. 👍
My mother to a "T".
So why don't they take their frustrations out on the rich instead of other poor people? Hmmmm?
Question of the century. I wish we knew.
They wouldn't be ignorant, gullible members of Trump's mad MAGA cult if the did that.
That is the plan of the oligarchy. Turn citizens against each other, so they don't each the rich.
It's about class and sucking wealth to the top. Not about poor brown people working their asses off for a better life. The ruling class are masters of the bamboozle.
Cowardice. They don't want to be caught going after someone who can fight back.
It is somebody else's fault, just not who they've been told to blame. When CEO's are making 350 times what working folks make there isn't enough left to pay a decent wage. When rich people own the government there isn't enough money to pay for universal healthcare, daily childcare and decent schools. They have every right to be pissed off, they've just been lied to about who's responsible.
It's one thing to be told a lies, it's another thing to be so gullible, ignorant, intellectually lazy and uncritical as to mindlessly believe the lies.
On point. Trump voters I know fit your analysis perfectly.
You are right; misery loves company. Fox News is poison. I remember the '90s when Rush Limbaugh was on the radio. I had co-workers at the Post Office who listened to him while on their route---hours and hours of that hatred day in and day out. Here's something I saw on the internet the other day: "Don't blame others for the road you're on---it's your own asphalt."
My brother disowned me for not liking and/or believing the lies they were even telling us were lies lol.
"I love him and you're offending me!"
lol.
Cults do that to people, though.
He called me deranged for not believing lol.
It's sad to be that invested in a person over your family. Trump is the worst of the worst
I was called a communist because I didn't believe in Trump.
I understand. My brother came out - as a trumper about 7 months ago. Apparently, he’d been humoring my trumper jokes for years.
The Demonrat Party is the biggest cult to have ever existed outside of the Muslim religion and/or the Clinton-Obama cults. Thank goodness the Butcher of Benghazi is so far gone as to be irrelevant and the O's are following close behind. Good riddance.
It’s a cult.😊
The orange kool aid is just too sweet to put down for these sad individuals
Yup
I heard someone suggest that they are discouraged and miserable, and have lost faith in every single institution that they might have thought would offer help. Then don’t think he will help them either. But he is a release valve for their feelings
So why not fight the good fight to reform these institutions for the good of all vs supporting politicians who would burn the majority to the ground to benefit the wealthy elite? I just don’t understand supporting somebody who doesn’t hide the fact that they want to pull the rug out from under you and your family….
They're blaming others for their continued misery. Still not accepting responsibility for themselves.
I agree with your thoughts about angry people who blame others. They don’t think their decisions have had an impact on their quality of life and happiness. We are responsible for our lives and circumstances.
Trump is a draft dodger😢😢😢
And that is one of his more positive traits! He would have been a danger to those he served with.
So was Muhammad Ali your point?
@@Babygirlly555 Muhammad had a religious reason trump was a coward, Muhammad spent years in jail, trump bought himself a free pass. This is an apple to oranges comparison.

Muhammad Ali was a conscientious objector which is legal in America. Trump had no valid excuse. That’s the point.
@@BettyBoop-hm4hx Thousands of young men dodged the draft during Vietnam. Nobody wanted that war except the oil companies.
The bottom line is that the 🤡 makes certain people feel better about having failed themselves in life. They've formed a cult of those in the same situation.

@@yellowblanka6058 True. The 🤡 would not had been able to dodge the Vietnam draft and would have taken his own life than to serve.

The biggest disappointment of my life is that my son, a LEO is MAGA. With 2 daughters. 😢
THEY TRULY ARE! Halloween night 2024, the only homes with the LIGHTS OFF and nobody outside serving candy was Trump/Vance sign homes. Every single Harris/Walz home had happy people outside of all ages.
I watched your video and I got to say you have described 99% of Trump voters to aTI have family and friends who have all made very bad choices in life. They have made very bad decisions also and yet do not want to take ownership and want to blame someone else
I think you're right on point. I have a divorced MAGA friend who is 62 YO (on disability) who has 3 kids from two wives. He's a functioning alcoholic who smokes pot every day. He's pissed at immigrants and anyone else the right wing tells him to be pissed at for his lot in life. He has a good heart but he NEVER holds up the mirror or accepts responsibility for his lot in life.
Dont put that "good heart" to the test. Maga reverts to type.
@angelwingz892 I hear you there. I've seen it in practice.
Angry and disgruntled people are angry and disgruntled

I'm so glad that there are people like you who post intelligent content. It is a safe haven for someone like me who needs a place to go.
It is that they are unhappy but it is coupled with a sense of entitlement. They feel entitled to a life they don't have and, whilst many people see that their life is not what they want it to be and start to implement changes to fix that problem, these people, in their sense of entitlement, seek to blame others for THEIR problems and unhappiness, rather than actually be active in fixing their lives and making them happier. It's easier to point and blame than it is to look inward and start making the changes to improve your life.
The typical narcissistic playbook. The “orange goblin” is a narc and so are all of his followers/supporters/cultists. Misery attracts misery!!
I'm pleased to see someone with awareness of these narc idiots. Misery attracts misery....oh boy....spot on !
@, 4+ yrs of intense therapy (and going…) to get through my childhood trauma caused by my own narcissistic parents has given me greater insight, I suppose.
@@starrylady420 I would bet you have more wisdom than " I suppose". I know you do. I went to therapist for only about 6 times after a narc gf. An extreme serial predator narcissist. Then I was convinced it was a racket too. Like its said, only targets go to therapy while those who desperately need it never do. You got this.
When things go wrong, and it absolutely will and soon, they have no one to blame but themselves.
And everyone else will rightly blame them as well.
That tracks. I remember an interview with a Trump supporter during his first term. Her complaint? "He's not hurting the right people!"
...it's pathetic isn't it? Imagine actually thinking like that?
@leishayoung4124
I can’t and I’m glad I can’t.
Some guy in North Carolina is suing trump because his family is scared and he felt he needed to be armed. We need a class action law suit against this orange sasquatch. We seriously do!! a retired parochial school teacher friend of mine is frightened. we seriously need it !!!;
I have always thought that a class action suit against the orange sasquatch would be warranted. But now it's too late for that because he has a lot of so called immunity.
The "Supreme Court" did the people in this country a terrible disservice. Don't think for a minute Trump is not going to take full advantage of that power.
That’s what Trump would do
I have been suggesting a class action lawsuit on many TH-cam comments sections. The Twurp… in a very real way has spread his Narcissism all over the country like a virus. It is now understood by psychologists that mental illness spreads from person to person and also through social media and probably through any contact with society. This communicable characteristic is probably an aspect of why the society is so mentally/emotionally sick. Refer to the wonderful Dr. Mandy Hanson (I think that’s her name) for more information about this.
Well articulated. The bottom line is "education" but even that has its limitations because if a person wants to consume propaganda 24x7, even education won't help.
Trump voters since the election in my experience, are still acting the same way even after they got what they wanted. Has anyone else ever noticed the defensive, almost attacking way they come at you if you even try to talk about our politics? This is systemic and won't go away even with Trump gone. My father was angry, racist and prepping for years because Fox news told him the black people and the government were coming to take his job and guns. He died believeing that shit and lived miserably because of it. Fox took my dad away from me. Fox took away decency and honesty and may well have succeeded in taking our democracy. The damage is immense but because they call themselves ENTERTAINMENT ONLY (yeah, right) they are allowed to continue to tear us apart for the money. "It's not about blue or red - it's about the green" ~ Rupert Murdoch
Good point but there's not a single MAGAt that's going to reflect on this. Too much brain work.
I voted for Trump, and I reflected on it.
I noticed several characteristics about trump voters I know personally. Some are family members I no longer communicate with. Others were ex co-workers and neighbors. First, most appear to be grifters and free loaders. They show up at a neighborhood cookout with a dish of apple slices, and proceed to stuff themselves with BBQ and chug a lug beer brought by others. When they were co workers, they were people you could never really trust. You always had the feeling they were waiting for the opportunity to stab you in the back. Just about all were very disingenuous. Most were also undependable. They were the kind of people that could sniff out the possibility that something might be expected of them, and they would always manage to disappear just as they were needed. I have not been surprised by any people I discovered were trump supporters. Most of the time it was "that's just what I figured". And yes, they were grievance collectors and always felt they were being put upon by one group or another. They are out of my life, permanently.
Good move on your part!
@@Gallagherfreak100 you just am described all the Libs I’ve ever worked with perfectly. Lazy and entitled. The hard workers you can depend on are always right leaning. Especially guys that know how to fix things. Odd how you live in the opposite reality. What to make of that?

I, for one, am chock full of grievance and anger, but it is because our lying media and our corporate owned politicians have sold us out, until even dreams are out of reach.
I have said this since 2017! I saw it first hand with several friends who were going through a divorce, not getting the job they want, and on the other side of 30 and seeing how they basically peaked in high school. They all slowly started talking about how they are getting into MAGA. I have said, they don't have alot going for them, and they NEED this.
I always said "only boring people get bored". Ye're correct on all points as far as I've can ever see, better put than any one else ever delivered.
This is something I've wondered for many years about conservatives in general. Their values seem designed to upset them. They don't like change... but they live in a world (a whole universe even) whose primary characteristic is change. They like tradition but no tradition can last, and it's very apparent regarding their religious traditions these days. Their "individualism" makes them want to tend to "me and mine", so they don't want to be bothered by anybody who isn't part of their ingroup. But it's a mutualistic world so we all live inter-dependently with others, whether knowingly or not, because there is no other option. And on and on. So the world doesn't work the way their brains want it to. The days when there was an evolutionary advantage to their sort of brain ended when living in small villages ended. So all that (and more) must be a source of constant frustration. Everyone who isn't like them must seem like an enemy of all that's "good" in their eyes. And so "everything sucks" and it's "everyone else's fault!"
Very perceptive comment.
An excellent summation of what is going on the minds of those miserable MAGA fools. They would rather see the world destroyed than see anything change in an ever changing universe.
Great comment, and yes, their inability to accept change and adapt as just a natural course of life (you can't stop it after all), makes them just angry and frustrated. Let's face it, what's one of the greatest roads to happiness, or at least contentment? Accepting that things change and life goes on, so just let it go. There is a stubbornness to their mindset that won't allow them to just LET IT GO. Also, many conservative men feel they have been cheated out of something...there is always that 'entitlement'' mindset amongst, particularly, conservative men, who want what their father and grandfather had, but know, deep down, they can never have it.
change is the only constant. Funny they can't comprehend that. In that way they are insane. Their world view is fucked.
Here we are trying to understand them when they won't even try to look inward to understand themselves, much less anyone else. That's the difference between us and them. Which is why we can vote for someone else's benefit. They only seem to be able to vote for their own. And they don't even understand what they actually need.
You can’t reason with people when they’ve angry like this. The rest of us will be angry to when they jack this country up. I just can’t see us meeting in the middle any time soon.
You are spot-on, sir!
My late father was a trump supporter. He died in 2022 and the last few years of his life were miserable. He was aggressive about politics. He was arrogant, rude, condescending and angry. His life revolved around politics and very little else. He wasn't happy, but he wasn't happy when trump won either.
My brother is also a trump supporter. He feels entitled to respect, holds grudges for minor reasons and goes on endless rants about the problems in his life. He wouldn't admit it if he were wrong. He'd merely distance himself and claim, "I never really supported trump." No guts.
I witnessed this up close and it just confirmed what I was seeing on social media and television.
I made up my mind this year that I was going to be a lot more patient when driving my car, shopping during the holidays. I have gone out of my way to be polite with pedestrians and other drivers instead of being frustrated. It seems to be working out pretty well so far. A lot of people smiling and making friendly gestures. We do have some power to mold our attitudes, but it does take some effort.
My poor Dad rest in peace had 4 years of cancer and used to be such a physically active man, hunter, fisherman, mechanic, chemists, built his own house with his 2 hands and all of sudden stuck in his living room. And became absolutely addicted to Fox News. I would visit him as the good son driving 1 hour to see him with my wife every Sunday for 4 years. Meanwhile he was hard of hearing and was blasting Fox News every visit. It was hell to see him getting chemo poisoned from that and his mind poisoned by Fox News turning him into a hateful very angry person. It got so bad my sister called me and said Dad died and I didn't even cry and I said I'm sorry to say I am relieved he isn't in pain anymore but also, I don't have to hear him anymore. ...on a lighter note, once out of desperation I ask him to turn off the volume and we watched all the beautiful women they dangle to hypnotize their male audience. I noticed under the one anchor's mini skirt she had under panties with hearts on it. And we rewound to make sure I wasn't seeing things. I said Dad just watch it for the babes no need for any sound, it didn't work he was already in his 80s by then...Fox News ruined my dad's last 4 years and my former tight relationship with him:(
Whoa so sorry for your loss😮
The deplorables have never had a champion. You're onto it.
Deplorables, Garbage. Insulting the voters is why Harris lost. Biden cost her the election big time.
Kamala and Tim Walz are the complete opposite - I'm baffled as to why America wasn't ready for their confidence, competence, positivity and optimism (the qualities we want in our leaders). The one answer that resonates with me is: "The election was rigged!"
I sincerely believe it! Putin looked far too smarmy when the results were announced.
Americans are too damn dumb to know something good when they see it. When the rest of the world was celebrating Beatle mania, so called christian’s were burning their albums. And after the southern kids burned the albums, their so called youth pastors mounted them.
There is a lot of truth here that many of us are too polite or too respectful to say out loud. Thanks for your courage to speak. Your voice gives me courage. It's a sad fact that legions of my fellow Americans are so miserable and dejected that they are willing to vote away their rights and their futures in response to gut level hate-and-blame propaganda.
Lots of MAGA have plenty of money so I think they are just cruel. Whether the cruelty is on purpose or out of boredom IDK.
I think unkindness is in their DNA. Actually I think the reason the US doesn’t have all the benefits other countries have is because there is an inherent unkindness in the US. Along with its need to interfere in other countries and yet are actually isolationist by nature who know little or nothing about the countries they mess up.
Low pay, low education. It's appalling that they are Americans and are treated like this. Now, no more overtime pay. It's going to hurt them the most. I'm moving back to my blue state. I can't get help for my mental health or my SSDI housing. Co-pays in mental health and because I make too much money at $12,000ish a year. It's horrible here. It'll get really bad when they cut everything.
I agree with you!!
Well my X best friend for over 40 years was a trumpy…and most of the friends attached to her….well as my osteoarthritis got worse her narcissism , greedy and grandiose mindset couldnt deal with that and pretty much dumped me….its been about 4 years now…guess she does not miss me nor love me…..smeh..phony Christian. Being a Disneyholic didnt make her a better person..either…..🤪
isn't she a bit old to be a "Disneyholic"??
@ as long as I have known her, disneyholic…….last several decades the year passes….would go and rub it she went here and there he he he he take every other friend but me, come and shove cell phone pics in my face……glad thats over..whew
How on earth is it possible for a Billionaire to be or feel picked on or discriminated against in any meaningful way?
Excellent question. I can’t figure that one out either.
fox tells them hourly that someone (immigrants) has taken all the goodies from them.
They definitely let go of that slogan “pull yourself up by your bootstraps…” haven’t heard that one from them in a while. Anytime I hear them complaining. I tell them that.
That makes a lot of sense!!
To give them a target for their hate distracts them from who is really in power. Who decides your pay? Who decides which health plans you can pick from? Who tells you what consumer items you need to buy to be happy?
My mother lived in an isolated area, and became addicted to Fox (Socalled News). For many years,
I could not have a sensible conversation with her. She always circled back to idiotic assertions, she got from Fox.
sounds like my sister
I think you’re right and you’re on to something. Absolutely
I met a man the other day who told me that he was an angry republican. I soon realized that he is just an angry person regardless of what is going on. that seems to be the personality of these Republicans. it's sad and scary.
I agree with 90% of what your saying outside of they think it's a terrible economy. Ever since Trump won there's been several studies and polls that have suggested the inverse is happening. That Republicans now think the economy is great. This was always about racism and a lot of people have tried to make it about other things. And yes maybe what helped Donald Trump win was the 2-3 percent of voters who were mad about inflation, Gaza war and immigration. But for Republican voters and people who lean Republican it was always about race.
...and a good dose of misogyny to boot.
you are correct trumpy made it ok to be racist and LOUDLY. People don't get there are 10's of millions more racists here now than 150 years ago. 1865 population was 30 million now 330 million. Throw in control/dislike of women in power Geraldine Ferraro loser Sarah Palin loser Hillary loser Harris loser. Don't get me started on Roe
I agree with your assessment of those people. But for me to be complete, one factor also must be discussed:
Since Ronald Reagan, a big part of the former middle class was left behind -- because the lion share of economic growth was going to the billionaires. So when many people are frustrated there is a real reason for that -- but the reason are not the immigrants or the other Fox escape goats.
My aunt, who passed away and good riddance, was a HUGE Trump supporter. She only cared about herself, she made our immediate family miserable. She blamed Obama for everything that had nothing to do with her. I don’t have one nice word to say about her. She was a dentist but ignorant about history and politics and never realized how uneducated she was.
And they expect others to solve their problems
Having had an abusive stephmother, I take a slightly different take.
These people conflate abuse with support.
They are trained to hate, absolutely.
They are told they're being used, but they will never understand it's the abusers that tell them so.
My dad still worships my stephmother, while she was only in it for herself and ruined my life.
But facts don't matter to these people; they don't see the difference between abuse & support.
They think orange muzzelini is their light & saviour, while in reality he's only in it for himself, ready to abuse the USA for his own, perverse desires.
Yes. That is a common trait. You nailed it.
70% of them are like this
70%? I've never met a happy one.
@@EJWash57 I met two happy ones. They were house flippers. They became extremely happy when they managed to gouge a buyer, especially a first time buyer, on a flipped property.
@@Gallagherfreak100Dont even get me started on haughty, entitled, luring, womanly wiles using female realtors. But I admitt I have an axe to grind.
@@Gallagherfreak100 So, their happiness is based on schadenfreude about being victorious over someone in a predicament.
@@Gallagherfreak100 I knew a couple that tried making money in the predatory home mortgage frenzy. They made an impressive amount, and then lost it all - plus. That made me happy.
99% of them fit the deplorable profile. Thank you HRC!
Thank you for sharing your truth, I think you are helping so many people face reality. I’m loosing my beloved sister’s closeness to me because she voted for trump. I don’t know how to communicate with her anymore and I’m 75 years old. Thank God I’m an artist and believe me I’m going to be creating tons of messages in my art so others might see the horrifying truth about trump.
For some reason I don't get (of course there is dementia) people seem to feel that it's OK to spout off politics at the senior center. Like there's no other small talk they can come up with at the lunch table. This is why I don't go there much now. But..............I am tracking the price of eggs, gasoline, etc and going to start going back about March. If the topic comes up, I'm going to have my binder with before and after prices in it.
The other part of the equation is fear. They're terrified of anything different or that they don't understand (and a distinct lack of intellectual curiosity means there's a hell of a lot that fits in that category). In turn, that fear turns into hate. And yeah, it's impossible to reach someone whose intent on never being reached.
Maga is very very very miserable I AM GLAD YOU TOLD THE TRUTH about them and Trump hate PERIOD....
You described some of them perfectly!👏🏼
Well the place they are in is probably gonna get way worse. People in this country have it better than most so sick of all the whining there are people that don’t have anything due to no to no fault of their own.
Better than most people? Maybe in some third world countries. Here in Northern Europe, people have a much higher standard of living and a longer life expectancy.
Thanks, brother. You shined a light on something that I feel has real merit. Sad but true, in my opinion.
We lived in VT since 72, mostly in Stowe. In 2022 we moved to a rural town near the Connecticut River and NH. So it feels more like NH at times. Just about everyone is a Trump supporter. As time goes on those folks are miserable or angry mist of the time. Depressing for such a beautiful state.
