The best thing that my cousin, like so many brainwashed right-wingers, can say about his dear leader is that he pisses off liberals. He can’t name a single reason why he likes him, and he doesn’t seem to be bothered in the least by his lying. But he gets excited when reasonable people talk about how horrible trump is.
It seems like that’s been a favorite pastime of right-wingers for quite some time now. Since well before president kleiner schwanz was elected, these fools have taken joy in angering the other side. But since the election, it’s gotten much worse.
Now, I don’t really care that that’s how they get their kicks. Except that, now, it seems like it’s the only reason they need to support this buffoon who is ruining our country. It seems like they’re willing to participate in the ruining of this country just so they can laugh at the people who they perceive as having laughed at them or who they think of as ignorant or whatever.
This is obviously quite immature and foolish. But they don’t seem to see it that way. I wonder if an analogy would help them understand. I doubt it, but you never know, and I’d like to have an analogy for it anyway.
I like to think I’m half-decent at coming up with analogies, and this one seems like it should be easy to come up with an analogy for. Brainwashed fools happily contributing to their own demise just so they can… I don’t know, feel superior, or have their moment in the sun, or just laugh, or whatever. Maybe if I understood their motivation better, an analogy would be easier. In any case, I’m stumped.
Anyway, just throwing it out there. If anybody has an analogy, or if anybody sees the above differently, I’d be interested in what they have to say.
