Republican/conservatives love their macho rugged individualism persona. Fuck your feelings, big trucks, tough guy/gal demeanor.

And in the same breath, they will whine about how they are oppressed because people dislike them for their words and actions that are actively demonizing others. Minorities, LBGT, liberals, name it. They very vocally victimize others and then play victim when called out for it, all while trying to act tough.

It's like they saw every despicable bully trope on TV, that always ends up tucking tail and running when their comeuppance arrives, and said "yeah, that's who I want to be"

I mean, they idolize the losers of history, like the Nazis and the Confederacy.

I love this perspective - short, succinct, and true.
