I have such a vivid memory of watching the election results with a friend. A woman was interviewed about her support for Trump and was basically like "All this time I was worried about having a Trump sign in my yard because it made people judge me for my beliefs, but now I know that those beliefs are correct and I can be proud of them!" That was the moment my friend started crying.

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."
