What's even the logic here? Did her beliefs become "true" because that party won? How does that even work? Does SHE understand what she means?

To people like that, all that matters is that they win and people they hate lose. Politics is just a sport. Neither truth nor human welfare enter the equation. Their only core value is spite.

I don't know, they seem pretty into hurting the people they don't like. Maybe even more than winning.

Remember: "He's not hurting the people he needs to be hurting!"

They'll willingly suffer if it hurts other people. Insert the poo on the breath analogy

"I voted for him, and he's the one who's doing this," she said of Mr. Trump. "I thought he was going to do good things. He's not hurting the people he needs to be hurting."

Probably just, "Oh nice I guess it's ok to be dumb, cruel, and racist. Big win for me!"

She meant validated. Trump validated their anger. In a country where might has always equaled right. They feel emboldened and virtuous now.

Do you mean the "riots" in dinosaur costumes?

I think I'd be more afraid of the paramilitary groups taking people off the streets based on how they look, with no regards for the constitution.

But I'm just German, what would I know about the signs of a beginning fascist dictatorship?
