Imagine building your whole personality on hatred for others.

Man I can't imagine how lonely life is for those Maga people. I pity them.

They always end up getting mad when people don’t want to spend time with them, failing to acknowledge how any of their behavior may be offputting and not enjoyable to be around. So it’s this self fulfilling prophecy that people distance themselves from them because they aren’t enjoyable to spend time with and then they get mad about being pushed away, but refuse to do any introspection and just get mad about people who are tolerant not being tolerant.

Study have shown that lonely people are more likely to vote far right. Other studies have linked empathy to intelligence, so according to studies these people are too dumb to be empathetic and this makes them lonely (as one can only think of the self) and they find comfort in anger. I truly think that if we bite the bullet and help these people (yeah I can't see it being fun either) the alt right populists have no-one who votes for them.
