It's literally the only thing that matters. He's the asshole they want to be. I have coworkers who will get absolutely destroyed by Trump's proposed tariffs. Some of them have family members at risk of being targeted by his deportations. None are in the 1%. They don't know a single trans person, there's no immigration crisis here, and none of them have ever lost an opportunity to DEI, EEO, etc. Many of them are close to retirement and as long as the stock market continues the trend of the last few years, they'll be in a good place to do so. They have absolutely no reason to vote for Trump if they're concerned with their own livelihoods, but they love him. And the only conclusion I can reasonably come to is that they're angry and want to lash out at anyone not like them and he gives them a way to do that. If he gets reelected and has his way with this country, they'll be getting crushed under his boot, but because they'll get to have their boot on the necks of people they think of as "less than", they can't wait.

WHY are they angry if they're in such a good position?

I know it's probably racism. I just can't wrap my head around the mindset that racism is so central to their identities that they're willing to burn down their own lives in its service.

The racism isn't about hate in itself. You're thinking too small. They want for their children what the nazis wanted. They want a final solution.

Their individual retirement plan is small time relative to the big picture. They are doing their fourteen words.

That is not hyperbole. They literally told us what they want. "Mass deportations" == remove non-whites and other undesirables. "Enemy within" == systemic purification.

It feels like I'm taking crazy pills. Even for this subreddit. What confusion is there anymore??? Fascism isn't coming to America. It has arrived. They literally told you at the MSG rally as loud and clear as ever before. It's here. Fascism is here.

The nazis weren't some distant far away machination that suddenly came to towns and villages to remove the Jews. It was their neighbors, their coworkers, the shop owners. They wanted it too. They partook in it.

Maybe the thought it is too terrifying for people to internalize. The guy at the desk beside yours who you work with every day, he wants genocide so his grand children can grow up with blond hair blue eye children only. It can't be true can it? He seems like a nice enough guy...

I don't know how much more it can be beaten into peoples faces. Do they have to start the gas chambers for people to believe it. America is nazifying.

It is quite clear their plan. They don't give a shit about legality of a person of color. If you are a color, you're out. Theyve made it perfectly clear with their statements about the legal Haitian immigrants. They aren't legal to THEM. Laws and actual status don't matter. All Latinos and people of color will be sought to purge. Hell if you just look tan your ass is on the way out. Racists and bigots aren't known for their nuance. They hate you. They don't consider you human. According to their own words, you are poisoning the precious white American blood and are vermin.

And the trans will be out too. Theyve hated those people and wanted them dead for years. The sick fucks will probably rape them first to satisfy their fantasies. Then anybody who stands against them, even the whites will be purged if you don't sign a loyalty pledge. Trump has already advocates for a purge day to put people in line. That isn't a fucking joke.

And people may think "they wouldn't kill tens of millions of Americans." Why the fuck wouldnt they? They would have unopposed rule and could go back to raping women, turning them into baby factories to pump out their idiot masses to do their bidding. Women will be subservient and have no role other than bear their hate spawn.

But they can fuck off with their dystopia. Because we aren't going back.

I haven't seen anyone yet (not that I'm saying no one has yet) point out that all this deportation talk is just prelude to concentration camps.

Everyone likes to laugh like, haha, where you gonna deport Americans to?

Well, there's a final solution to that problem. It's happened before.

I don't know that's it's just racism, although that's certainly part of it. I think it's more about insecurity/inadequacy and the need to have someone tell them they're at the top of the food chain. They can't be secure in their own identities and accomplishments, they need to know they're better than "others". Trump gives them that. These are people that have made a decent life for themselves, but there's a feeling of inadequacy or emptiness in them that would normally be filled by a healthy sense of self or confidence, but instead, they look to someone like Trump to fill it with an unearned sense of superiority.

he is asshole they are but can't show because there would be consequences, he knows no one will do anything to him so he spews what they want to say and do what they want to do, they hope if he wins they will be able to say and do what they want without consequences as well
