In reply to the discussion: Joy Reid "Why are you all so angry??" [View all]RockRaven
(19,801 posts)9. There are tens of millions of Americans who literally will NEVER, for as long as they live,
get over the fact that a black man was elected POTUS. Their brains/psyches were permanently changed by that, and there is no going back for them.
No depraved or psycho behavior done in their name will ever be enough to appease them, their appetite for performative gestures of hurting others is insatiable no matter what it costs them personally (note that they will complain about any collateral damage to themselves, yet that won't cause a reverse on their desire to see others hurt).
There is an emptiness inside of them which can never be filled -- all because other Americans picked a black guy to lead/hold power. And most of them are in denial about what is driving them.

I grew up in the South in the 1950s. The notion of innate white male superiority was then considered a fact.

I suspect a lot of the anger, as well as its intensity, comes from their Dear Leader.
