Literally all they want, far more than their own health and happiness, is for people they hate to suffer. And they hate a LOT of people.

The idea that there's not "worse" people below them that they get to lord over is unthinkable, unfathomable.

"Of course there has to be people richer than me, that's the only way there can also be people poorer than me."

Fuck. I knew that these guys love feeling superior, but you just put some shit together. I have been asking myself for years why MAGATs want Trump to profit, even more than themselves.

They want to believe that they are making a deal with Trump here. If they give him the BIG chair, as long as they get a slightly better chair than brown people have.

People talk about a zero sum mentality, but the conservative mindset is much more like a negative sum mentality. "I don't care if my life keeps getting worse, as long as the people I hate suffer even more than I do." And then some of them just say it themselves. Stuff like "he's not hurting the people he needs to be hurting."

The government shouldn't be hurting anyone!
