This is my new tact when arguing with these people.
"Why do you hate America so much?"
You hate Hillary, Democrats, Blacks, Football, George Bush, George W. Bush, Obama, Clintons, NATO...and the list goes on.
They hate everything about America...
And that's how I'm going to frame my interactions with these nit-wits.

(6,377 posts)But it's true. A lot of them grew up when times were different. They didn't adjust to the societal changes, and feel "left behind" so to speak, and it angers them that they can't act like they used to. So instead of changing themselves, they have a "burn it down" mentality, which is why they love Trump so much even though he's doing harm to their lives and paychecks.
Their mentality is, if I'm not happy, I don't want anyone else to be happy.

(63,221 posts)They are consumed by hatred, but most of it I think is because they hate themselves and their lives and do not have the strength or intelligence to look within and make changes. They will always look to deflect the blame on something outside themselves.

(4,835 posts)they can't say nigger - and hate whoever they want with impunity.
That's about it...the rest of it is just whatever Trump tells them to think.

(7,299 posts)Responsible for their own failures. Take the latest incel movement. There are 8 billion people on this planet. Roughly 4 billion are women. Roughly 2 billion are adult women. Who is to blame that they cannot attract one woman out of a population of 2 billion ? Why its the fault of the 2 billion women, thats who. It couldnt be their fault. They dont own mirrors. That is the mentality they employ to justify all of their personal failings.

THEY are poor/sick/bad off/suffering because of someone else (non-whites, LGBTQ, foreigners, atheists, liberals etc).

(28,270 posts)They especially hate the anti fascist USA that defeated fascism in WW2.
They hate brown, black and liberated female America. They hate any non Republican Jesus.
Any religion must be prosperity preaching, money lovin, greed based, poor and sick hating, 1000% GOP political church.
Taking back America and MAGA are code words for a white kkk America with zero freedom based totally on race.
