Outsiders got a rare view of the inner world of Catholic high school degeneracy—extreme, sick, submissive competitiveness and thuggery—in the Kavanaugh hearings. This is the cocksucker, tin-soldier strain among conservative Catholics.
Don’t be fooled by appearances of aggression, however obvious, common and extreme these are. It is fundamentally submissive. They are trained in a kind of servitude. They don't feel culpable. You better hope they adhere to true authority.
The violence of this disposition is unthinking and unregulated. It rests in submission to what they perceive as a higher cause and commitment. They don’t acknowledge responsibility, therefore. Now, it is the “higher” authority of Trump.
