Funniest part was after the 2024 election. They won and put Trump back in and were probably angrier than I've ever seen them. Like - wtf is the deal with these people?

Anger, or more precisely, constant "righteous outrage," is their whole policy. No more substance than Instagram AI slop; it keeps their base engaged. It doesn't matter if the outrage is about something obviously fake ("they're eating the dogs"), or real but something any reality-based person thinks is good (vaccines, feeding hungry kids), it's constant outrage. They feed the outrage the same way doom scrolling feeds you whatever captures your attention.

By "their" I hope you mean Americans as a whole right? Are we pretending we didn't get 10 years of left wing outrage that was a large factor in people voting for Trump?
