There is zero understanding about what motivates Trump voters, and their side does an excellent job of weaving a narrative that prevents them from humanizing their opposition. All they have is moral posturing, all done from a good guy bad buy dynamic, with them as the heros of their own story. You can see this in the reaction to some of the posters who leave comments who obviously still have empathy for the Trump voter PoV. What do they get in response? Pure vitriol, and social shaming.
Why do they have such an urge to be the hero, or even just "good guys"? I don't care if people think I'm a good person. That's between me and God. Leftists are obsessed with being on the right side. There must be some deep psych issues.
The alternative is having nihilism take over as they realize they're insignificant specks of dust in an uncaring universe. Not everyone can become an Ubermensch.
I read most of that thread.

It's a cult, no other way to say it.

Leftists know they're not the "good guys". This is what frustrates them so much.
