How much of Trump's support is really just Schadenfreude?

[Yavin4]

Schadenfreude is the experience of pleasure, joy, or self-satisfaction that comes from learning of or witnessing the troubles, failures, or humiliation of another. I wonder how much of Trump's support is really people taking delight in the misery of Liberals. They may not like Trump. In fact, they either hate him or think that he's a buffoon, but they enjoy seeing Progressives, Liberals, etc. angry and upset.

2. For some, the whole thing is just poking libs in the eye.

10. +1, Libs threatened them with the brown skinned guy now they're going to threaten libs with Satan

But they ... TRULY ... think Red Don is enacting his policies and he's not.

The Trump - O - Meter is bad and there's no excuse for him seeing they have the USSC, Presidency and Congress.

The Trump - O - Meter is the biggest hammer to use with MAGA Minions, he's ... NOT ... doing what he said he would do nearly 2 years into his presidency outside of court selections and giving rich people money.

3. Seen it many times.

Doesn't seem very "Christian-like", but their goal is the misery of those with whom they disagree. It's not to find solutions.

4. I've noticed less and less support for him on Twitter.

Many foreigners support him there. Doesn’t help him here. There are obvious bots. Then there’s the occasional person who argues back with conspiracy theories or who block you when you show actual facts. Those are his base. And there are fewer and fewer.

5. I think it's more Pilzschwanzfreude.

The celebration of a man who has a penis shaped like a small mushroom, because they are insecure about their own shortcomings in life.

6. Almost all

7. 90% They'd collectively eat a mile of buzzard

shit if they thought it would piss Liberals off.

8. The ignorant and the brainwashed...

pitiful bunch.

9. From my discussions with MAGA Minions it's 1/3rd "I was right, now you suffer" only when it comes to

... the election.

To a person they all say Red Don is a worse human being than Obama but the Obama standard is an anomaly seeing he's damn near perfect.

They're NOW ... just relating the bad person of Red Don to his racial policies and the Russia investigation which has be categorized as "what people around him has done".

The latter isn't going to keep if Mueller continues to put people in jail and indicting them though, ... my prediction.
