>Maybe it’s watching your whole community fall apart piece by piece. Maybe the tax base dries up so the schools get worse, the local stores shut down, the houses rot, and the kids who can leave bounce the moment they’re able to. Maybe the ones who can’t are left behind with no real options and no way out leading to all the shitty outcomes one would expect. And maybe… none of the people responsible for any of it have to live with the fallout. The politicians, the executives, the media, none of them are losing sleep over it. Their towns don’t get gutted. Their futures don’t disappear. Their kids aren’t overdosing. No. No, it really isn't. Because your sprawling victimhood narrative describes the situation of many in the US to some degree or another, but not even that of most Trump supporters. And not even most Trump supporters voted for him just for the catharsis of seeing the people they hate suffer. Although again, many did, and will admit so openly so I'm not the one engaging in caricature here. I never mentioned "brainwashed idiots" or a cult, although Trump does have an actual, literal goddamn cult so I don't even know what you're objecting to in that case. It isn't my fault that the more you try to defend these people, the worse they come off. Good day.
