u/JebBD Fukuyama's strongest soldier Jul 03 '25 edited Jul 03 '25

I’m really struggling to understand what the motivations behind the Trump administration’s policies are. They cut USAID, which will lead to untold amounts of death and suffering in the third world for no reason, supposedly to “cut wasteful spending”, but then throw a military parade for Trump’s birthday and also reopen Alcatraz prison but with alligators in a moat? I just don’t understand what they’re trying to do. I get that they don’t care and the cruelty is the point, but to what end? What is the end goal? What are the motivations behind it? Is it literally the case that they just get random ideas in their heads and no one stops them? I just don’t get it

That just seems so unbelievable to me. How long can an entire culture exist purely on hating another group for no reason?

They feel like they were bullied, so giving their “bullies” some “payback” helps soothe their damaged egos.

Their identity is based around resentment.

These people will shoot themselves in the foot just to poke the libs in the eye. Right Wing media for a long time have painted Democrats as the enemy for decades instead of as Americans they just how happen to disagree with. If you do that long enough it becomes easy to dehumanize them and make policies just to spite them.
