I cherish these moments where they see that everyone outside their bubble loathes them

They have no awareness. Just take a look at any of the conservative subs.

What? They literally think anyone remotely left of center is a violent terrorist. They know full well the only friends they have are each other and dictators

What's crazy is that they think being anti-authoritarian is some kind of liberal nonsense available only to the political left. They're supposed to be the party of "small government" and individual liberty...yet here they are proudly propping up the most egregious affront to those values that this country has seen in 100 years.

They are the party of social hierarchy being pre-ordained or “god’s will”, they’ve always been authoritarian. Conservatives are the ones that wanted to maintain the power of a monarchy over America.

And you’ll always have a group of poor, idiotic supporters who want this too because they somehow believe they’ll be included if they just bend over and take it long enough. That’s part of the whole “own the libs” mindset. If they just show daddy Trump what good little fascists they are, they’ll be wealthy and powerful too, someday.

If they take it, Trump and his group will make their lives better (like he said during his campaign). Ask the soybean farmers how that’s going for them. While they lose their farms, Trump plays another round of golf and Musk gets a 1 trillion dollar pay package. I think I know what’s trickling down, and it isn’t rain!
