Persecuted by Themselves

Trump has his uses. He's so extreme we can see in him the essentials of Republicanism and 'conservatism' and apply that to the less crazy, thereby acheiving enlightenment. First off the primal fear, the persecution complexes and preemptive belligerence. 

Trump was born so rich he didn't have to do anything. Some say he would be wealthier if he hadn't done anything -- if he had invested his money in index funds. I believe it, but he's been at war his whole life, trying to prove something to somebody. 

To prove to himself he's not a worthless piece of shit. But he is a piece of shit so he's in a positive-negative feedback loop, self-reinforcing self destruction. The destruction of those around him or affected by him is incidental, not to say it doesn't hurt. 

So Trump is not a reality based operation. Similarly 'conservatives' are skeptical about their humanity. They don't like their human existence. It doesn't satisfy them, as we see in their religiosity which longs for the perfection of incorporeality. 

That is, death. Non-existence. To be pure spirit, assuming that exists and with a form of consciousness attached to it. Heaven, presumably. Go for it. 

Good for them. God bless. But this means they're mean. They're dissatisfied. They feel persecuted and they lash out. At those they envy, the segment of humanity which, if not thrilled with the prospects of being human and mortal, make the best of it. 

These 'conservatives' therefore experience the loathing as though it's coming at them from somewhere. When, really, it's what they feel for themselves. They assume being human is a disgusting thing because they're disgusted with it. I find that disgusting.

I find Trump disgusting, but that's me. I find life miraculous. I'm not entirely satisfied with my humanity and humanity generally but it's what we have. And I don't think it makes sense to fight it. They crave more. Always more, in the way of vampires.

Stealing life from life. Which is a scam. They have to lie, all the time, because they have bad intent. Lie, that is, and strive for complete domination and hegemony, the institutionalization of their persecutory impulses. Then they can stop lying. 

And speak their truth to the world, which is fuck you we're the winners and deserve everything and will take everything and will kill you if you stand in our way. Which is Republicanism and 'conservatism' as we see it increasingly openly in Trump.
