(8,033 posts)I would've said (and have said, in various ways on occasions past) though I'd probably add that they're angry because, not only have they been DUPED, but they willingly, eagerly SUBMITTED to being duped. Angry because they KNOW they've been duped.
And not by those they love to demonize - that minority, immigrant 'other' they love to blame for their own shortcomings, for allowing themselves to be duped
but DUPED by Trump and those representatives they REPEATEDLY vote for and place trust in.
And (as suggested above) rather than admit to it by turning on those they KNOW have been rear ending them for DECADES, they double down... via asshole rationalizations, alternate realities, and denialism. The kind of inane, batshitery that pours from their mouths at every interview.
But they don't mind spewing bullshit and coming off like lunatics. Because better to hate on mythological BOOGIEMEN than to admit to knowingly and wilfully being PLAYED (by their billionaire class) as "suckers and losers" their entire fkng LIVES.
