Kind of my point. Every moment of the past five years, the media had some reporter running out to try to figure Trump supporters out. What do they think? What do they feel?
And all they thought was that they were the real victims who were going to take the power back. And when they got it, they would wield it to make who they thought harmed them (but were not the source of their woes) hurt more.
Their feelings were given the utmost introspection. Meanwhile, we're not focusing on the feelings of people being grinded into dust by Trump policies. And now that they had a four year run with their guy in charge... they still aren't in touch with reality. They still hurt. They still want others to hurt more. And now, they are taking up armed insurrection for their perceived right to have a strongman govern from a minority so he can make their perceived foes hurt more.
Like... that's who they have shown themselves to be. Undemocratic, fascist, factless, hate-filled, science-denying, willful plague-spreading morons.
Why do we still pause to even let them explain themselves? And call for "unity" which by their definition at the moment is "no consequences that we tried to murder the people you elected and yeah our own VP".
I'm not even about to entertain their ideology. If they have feelings about what comic book characters they like, I can discuss that with them. But politics? Hell to the no.
