    This latest batch of conservatives seem to dial this trait up to 11. Before, it was mostly a callous indifference. “Oh, you need this social program to survive and we are cutting it for budgetary reasons? Well, why aren’t you investing your money better? If you just invested your money better you’d be a millionaire by now even though your minimum wage job doesn’t pay enough for you to survive.”

    Recently, though, they have gotten actively antagonistic to various people merely existing. “We need to shoot and kill these immigrants as they cross the border. Liberals should be rounded up and sent to prison. Globalists (aka Jews) should be killed. You disagree with me? Let’s fight! I’ll beat you up and then kill you!!!”

    It’s really scary and these people need to never get anywhere near power.
