    Also, they may still be happy if they are affected, as long as the outgroups they hate most are affected worst.

        Oh, absolutely. Umberto Eco pointed out that this is how fascism works.

        The enemy is both weak and strong. “[…] the followers must be convinced that they can overwhelm the enemies. Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.”

        The Dems are both craven lickspittles who are not manly enough to drive a truck, and yet strong enough to control everything even if they haven’t been in power for a decade.

        As we can see, fascism is bullshit for idiots.
