Why are Trump supporters so angry?

They're like him only poorer.

Because their children have blue hair and think they don’t have a gender.

They are cunts

They're unhappy and/or anxious and hatred makes them feel better.

Is that Cindy Brady? Maybe she’s mad about her post-Brady Bunch career.

They are Poor MAGA, who thought greed is good, believed in the Slave Owning Jesus Prosperity Gospel, hated minorities, and their White Privilege is all they got after not going to school.

They tucked themselves and have only themselves to blame.

Of course they are pissed.

You'd think they'd be a little less cunty because their Fuhrer but it certainly doesn't seem that way.

r6, They didn't know anything about tucking until I came around.

They're sick and tired of minorities gaining power in the US. Having a Black president was the last straw

A lot of them but not all are racists and they see their white majority slipping away.

They're addicted to anger, grievance and conflict.

They're angry because they have nothing going for them, they never will, and all that they had — white supremacy — is fading away. We're experiencing an extinction burst. It will end, and it will not end well for MAGAts. And they know it, so they're getting their licks in while they still can.

Deep down they know they're physically repulsive.

They’re entitled assholes who expected to be handed everything and realized it’s not happening.

Dump came along and told those losers that illegals, blacks and women took everything that was theirs by right.

They are that shit up because introspection is too painful

I'm sure wokes are never angry, never disgusting looking, fat, blue haired, non-binary, screeching hyenas. No, always polite and calm the wokes are.

Sue Olsen sho is ugly!

R16 And she’s angry because she’s irrelevant, with hair from idk which decade.

Because they'll never be 1% as rich as the elitist billionaire they jerk off to.

They think they should have white privilege and not be told there’s anything wrong with that.

I like R12’s take. Core MAGA are losers who will never amount to anything. So hate and blaming others is all they got. The rest of them are grifting off the movement, as there’s lots of money to be made by dividing people, and lots of money to steal while no one’s looking.

They’ve got all three branches of federal government, the courts, most state governments, and their King Donald Trump is sitting on his golden throne in the White House again laying waste to the government and goon squads are harassing people of color in the streets and locking them up in prison camps. Their dreams are about to come true and still they are relentlessly seething with rage. Will they ever be happy?

If any of them watched the dum 🚽 speak today in front of all those military leaders and didn't cringe, well, FUCK them!!!! Today was one of the most disgusting displays of stupidity ever!!!

They’re insane.

Perhaps they looked in a mirror

The Magats (and never Trumper Republicans) I know are self-centered old Karens.

Off topic sort of but I've seen this bot comment that's being spread word for word, even the typo, around many times in the last few months. Must be the new strategy.

"Just got back from 3 weeks I. Europe and never heard a negative word about President Trump. Was told by many how lucky we were to be living in America with this man as president."

Playing the victim is so much more satisfying than taking responsibility for your actions and not blaming others for your misfortunes.

Democrats are refusing to take the knife on offer of slitting their own throats.

Who do you blame?

The Republicans/Heritage Foundation/Project 2025 will continue to kill the government by a thousand cuts. Better for the country to see them for who they really are ALL AT ONCE.

These are the type of unhinged, bloodthirsty, brainless ghouls that did lynchings back in the day.

Clearly they need to smoke copious amounts of pot, silly.

Everything about their lives makes them miserable. So they hate themselves and everyone else.

They thought electing Trump would make people they perceive as happier and better off as miserable as they are and alleviate their own self hatred. It didn’t work. So they’re pissed.

Moronic

Anger

Greatly

Aroused

MAGA

100% identity and 0% political positions, Psychology experts will offer a better sketch than I, but it seems a large group of Americans identify as aggrieved and attacked. This is their moment to 'settle old scores'.

R16, Susan Olsen proves ugly is skin deep and cuts clear to the bone.

They’re addicted to anger; it’s their drug of choice.

rememba?

[quote] They're addicted to anger, grievance and conflict.

Why do both sides describe each other exactly the same way when it comes to anger and hate?

My observation in 2025 that Democrats have understandably been seething with anger while the Trump supporters have expressed a lot of joy. This thread seems odd in the current time frame.

The really scary thing is that so many MAGATs are not publicly expressing anger. They are hiding in plain sight.

Look to your left. Then your right. Chances are, you just looked at one.

[quote] The really scary thing is that so many MAGATs are not publicly expressing anger.

I did see them publicly express a lot of anger about one thing recently, which were all the videos online made by people laughing and rejoicing at the sight of Kirk having his neck blown out.

Their entire political philosophy is based on grievances. Anger is their default setting.

I vacillate between thinking MAGAs are like abusers and thinking MAGAs are like victims of abuse. All they know is punishment, but they don't get how they and their fellow MAGAs punish themselves.

Did Pete Hegseth seem "joyful" yesterday, R38? What about Scott "I'll beat your ass" Bessent? Or Melania?

These people give off misery in waves.

Both sidesing won't work thos time. Both sides aren't kidnapping people and putting them in concentration camps.

There’s nobody angrier and meaner than an American Christian.

Because they're afraid of losing what they perceive as their power and influence. They think they rule the world, and they think someone is taking that away from them.

Delusion, meet insecurity.

Truth?

Real deal?

OK, let’s go…

Because they grew up in horribly abusive, neglected families/homes, & they have never come to terms with it, because they’ve been brainwashed into believing that the only children worse than themselves, are “other” people.

Believe it or not? This is basically the root of the whole thing.

When children are raised in abusive, violent homes, & are conditioned to believe that they’re worthless, one must consider why these kids, who eventually turned into adults, are drawn to people who continue to reinforce the domestic violence cycle.

They’re all afflicted with massive amounts of PTSD, hence, they easily respond to public figures and policy, that reinforce their misplaced shame, & profoundly low self esteem.

Familial domestic violence isn’t just a conservative way of life, because if it were, we would all be praising Trump on DL.

These folks just haven’t the resources or ability to break free from their cycle of abuse. They full heartedly believe within their bone marrow, that they deserve nothing but the absolute worst, which is why they are mesmerized by authoritarian leadership.

Daddy/Mommy issues are real, & we’re currently witnessing what happens, when parents treat their children without mercy or genuine compassion.

No need to look much further. This is IT.

R43 but on the topic of anger...

R46 Nah, I know people from perfectly healthy homes who still turned out to be MAGA shitbags.

And I was raised in a violent, unstable household, but I'm pretty damned far from MAGA.

You should look much, much further than your puerile diagnosis.

R46 is likely correct. Every MAGAt I've encountered gives off big "my parents beat me and I turned out FINE!" energy.

They have been repeatedly lied to, and have repeatedly fallen for it, but cannot be told that anything is their own fault. They are, however, eager to be told how blameworthy liberals and minorities are because that lets them off the hook.

Why does adversity and bad luck have to be anybody's fault?

Why can't we simply say "Shit happens, your life is your own, and if you want it to get better, then you have to make it happen?"

I guess that requires maturity and self-awareness, and it's a lot easier simply to say "THE BLACKS STOLE MY LIFE!!!!"

Correction:

“Familial domestic violence is mostly a conservative way of life, because if it were not, we would all be praising Trump on DL.”

R51 the absence of critical thinking in their culture is replaced with the ever-burning question, "Whose fault is it?" The meth and opioid epidemics have begotten a third one, a constant stream of takes on social media about "Your addiction was your decision, no one forced you to use drugs," etc. What it translates to is that the poster wants praise for not becoming an addict, for being clear-eyed and resolute.

R51, they've been indoctrinated by their hate-church pastors, talk radio, FOX News, podcasters, X, conservatives on TikTok and Insta... they've been indoctrinated by organized religion and the large corporations and billionaires who control every form of media now. It's been going on for decades. 3 generations have come of age since the Fairness Doctrine was repealed. Conservative grievances are ingrained in our culture at this point. Three generations on a Rush Limbaugh/ Alex Jones/ Joe Rogan spin cycle. This shit is baked in now.

These are people who from whatever cause deeply crave stability, which to them means traditional ([italic]their[/italic] traditional) values, traditional society, traditional institutions, and so on. They look on change as a threat to what they crave deeply, and so react and overreact on that basis. Unfortunately for them, for various reasons and causes this world is increasingly a world of change, and so it is that their frustrations and their anger increase exponentially.

Because they're angry white trash. And they are fucking pissed that the passage of time and progress has rendered them obsolete assholes that should've been taken out like the garbage that they are back in the 20th century.

I recently talked to a resident of Genesee County, Michigan--home of the recently attacked Mormon church and its attacker--who remarked it was so full of abused and abandoned pets that shelters coukdn't keep up with them.

Their time and their era has ended. And they know it. And they HATE it.

OP is posting this as if all MAGAts are like this. They are not. Not even most of them.

I work with MAGAts every day, unfortunately. Each and every one of them is proud, happy, ignorant, and not angry at all about Cheeto and his antics - they are thrilled he is "cleaning shit up". They even have framed photos of him in their hunting lodges and are the wallpapers on their phones.

Y'all are painting a narrative just like FOX does...

It's incredibly telling that they purport to want to live through a decade (the 1950s) that they, themselves, never actually lived through.

I don't think the MAGAts ever accounted for just how [bold]ANGRY[/bold] the younger Democrats would get; just how mean and nasty some of us are willing to go. They truly don't appreciate the concept of an angry vendetta.

R46 = George Lakoff.

They better watch the fuck out.

Because their little MAGGATy era is coming to an end. And in its wake, they are about to inherit some [BOLD]ANGRY[/BOLD]40-year-olds.

The Trump supporters who aren't 70+-years-old made a BIG fucking mistake.

After being told they are wrong all of their lives - some stupid orange ignorant baboon finally gave them permission to be how truly mean and stupid and loud and wrong as they have always wanted to be.

R64, we'll see who wins that fight.

I have no intention of ever letting these middle-aged MAGAts off the hook.

Fuck "Trump supporters."

That photo is at least 10 years old. Those ugly 50somethings are now even uglier 60somethings.

[quote] Because they grew up in horribly abusive, neglected families/homes, & they have never come to terms with it, because they’ve been brainwashed into believing that the only children worse than themselves, are “other” people.

But my brother is a Trump supporter and we did not grow up in an abusive and neglectful home.

[quote]Clearly they need to smoke copious amounts of pot, silly.

😄 I missed you. Welcome back.

R67, Greed is Good Jesus appealed to many in regular homes.

Trump gives them the license to be their worst selves. No shame, no true moral fabric, no empathy, just tribalism and hate of those not like you.

For everyone zeroing in on the abusive childhood comment, no one is saying there is one singular reason Trump supporters are Trump supporters. Yes, lots of folks who had happy childhoods with loving parents turned out to be racist, sexist, homophobic assholes. We don't need a whole thread of posts defensively refuting exactly one of the many reasons Trumpers turn out to be Trumpers.

R71 The post said "This is IT" and "the root of the whole thing." If you meant it as just one possible factor, fair enough, but that’s not how it was written. No need to spin it after the fact.

Yeah, and they’re winning!

Look at the average age of OP's pic. This is why Repugs are trying to recruit young people- because the Deplorables are aging and dying out.

[quote]They even have framed photos of him in their hunting lodges and are the wallpapers on their phones.

This is not normal behavior. It's a cult and these people are stupid and easily manipulated.

Being racist and homophobic has A LOT to do with it.

I know these people are thinking impaired, but it still amazes me that they vote over and over again for the party that aims to take away affordable healthcare, Medicaid and eventually Medicare and Social Security, civil rights, free speech, and remove the US from its top dog position on the world stage. All those cocky frat boys want to live under a dictatorship, with a government that intrudes itself in every aspect of their lives? How weak is a person that willingly puts himself in chains.

I know it’s not about policy, it’s about vibes, and I know they think these brutal cuts will only affect the people they don’t like, but still, how do you not see that sooner or later they will come for you? And it looks like it will be sooner rather than later.

With the current climate, hate is fashionable today.

Cindy Brady needs to update her wig.

Trump supporters angry? I don't find it that way. I have seen multiple clips of the left attacking the conservatives. Also, you see how the right handled the death of Charlie Kirk. They prayed. They didn't burn anything down!

Have you seen the street interviews with magats R80? They are angry and get irate when faced with policy questions they can't answer. If presented with facts they don't like they start snarling and stomp off.

R81 any links?

R80 Praying? Are you kidding me?? Those MAGAts were out for blood immediately assuming it was a radical lefty trans person who shot Charlie Kirk.

Will they attack the Capitol building again?

R83 Was Jimmy Kimmel out for blood when he suggested that the shooter was a supporter of President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement?

Interesting that you think Trump supporters are angry, OP. I barely check the political threads here because all I see is ANGER and bile, and most people here are Dems. I'm sure the insults will start on me just for posting this. What gives?

R85 Are you seriously equating Jimmy Kimmel cracking a joke on late-night TV with an entire political movement falsely accusing trans people and the left of murder within minutes of Kirk’s death? One is a comedian riffing. The other is a mass of elected officials, right-wing media, and influencers deliberately stoking hate and putting actual people’s lives in danger. If you can’t see the difference, I honestly don’t know how you function in daily life.

R85 Kimmel was making a joke about how foolish the Trump Administration looked trying to spin the situation.

Trump's approval ratings are abysmal.

R87 'cracking a joke' what was funny about it?

I love the "any links" demand. As if these posters exist in a bubble. Post numerous links and you will get **crickets chirping** and the posters go quiet. I got into it yesterday on another site and posted a dozen links as he demanded and he slunk off.

[Quote] I got into it yesterday on another site and posted a dozen links as he demanded and he slunk of

Sure, Jan

How could anybody possibly take R80 and R86 seriously?

R90 Kimmel didn't "crack a joke." He made an observation on how quickly the Right tends to blame shootings on everybody BUT themselves.

That's ALL he said.

They're the sort of people who aren't happy unless they have someone or some group to look down upon. Most of them are ner-do-well lowlifes and they're mad at the world for not giving them all the riches they wanted. Liberals are generally more prosperous than conservatives because we're far more adventurous people who are willing to take chances, and since we're more educated than most conservatives we win more and they lose more. Looking down on liberals is the only thing they have to make them feel superior.

Yes, Marcia, it happened. He was arguing that no Americans were being detained, only criminal "illegals". Turns out his profile was an Asian gamer somewhere in New Zealand, also had a conservative Christian site listed as one of his hangouts. He'd never heard of due process.

Pfft....

"... people who from whatever cause deeply crave stability"

So they foolishly fell for the thrice-married, thieving, lying, defrauding, molesting, cheating, bleach-blond and made-up flim-flam man?

r94, you mean Poor MAGA?

White privilege, white supremacists who never went to school?

OP, you might find this article interesting.

[quote]Kind, good, happy, gentlemanly, secure people never go Nazi. They may be the gentle philosopher whose name is in the Blue Book, or Bill from City College to whom democracy gave a chance to design airplanes—you’ll never make Nazis out of them. But the frustrated and humiliated intellectual, the rich and scared speculator, the spoiled son, the labor tyrant, the fellow who has achieved success by smelling out the wind of success—they would all go Nazi in a crisis.

Did I read somewhere that the funeral broke Grindr?

R79 - bitch snatched my wig!

That's how they know they're alive.

I blocked 3 people in this thread and about a third of the posts disappeared.

Nothing of value was lost.

Hate is all they got.

[Quote] Hate is all they got.

the same seems to be true for a lot of posters on DL and social media in general
