The reason it went viral is: everyone wants to say that the unfortunate brought it upon themselves. this is a defense mechanism. Thos not yet pathetic, wnat to believe they are immune to tragedy.

Also, the TP is a movement to capitalize on the stuff that they think should be theirs at firesale prices. They were moral and superior. So, as the rich believe they should get back all that stuff they temporarily gave to wage earners, so should the TPers.

Capitalism in its naked sociopathy.
