Yeah that struck me, it’s literally the first time I’ve ever heard someone referred to as a “Rambo-type.”
I maybe saw parts of the first Rambo 30 years ago, but I honestly can’t remember. This reference means very little to me other than “jacked mumbling idiot with a big machine gun.”
What a strange occurrence. I wonder what sent him over the edge. Based on everything said, it makes it sound like this was hastily done in the spur of the moment. Did his wife divorce him? Did he suddenly become disillusioned with Trump?
What is going on with men that there’s this reverse saved by the prince(ss) narrative happening so much now? Waiting to be saved by a Knight in Shining Armor (from a crappy or mediocre life) was an expectation we had to spend years on breaking in women. And now we’re seeing it in men.
“If I could just find someone…” everything in existence will then be ok. (Or it’ll be mostly the same and you’ll be unreasonably expecting too much of a partner who will then leave you because you failed to work on your personal crap.)
How little is there in your life that you have nothing else to do but to get outwardly violent? How few coping skills are being taught as we grow up that there’s no self rescuing here?
Granted, there’s destruction aimed inward (suicide) and then there’s destruction that wants to take some of life with you when you go. The latter could be seen as an extension of the former, sure. But it’s not an either or thing, many people keep on keeping on without ever going to either.
Others were speculating this was possibly an accident. Like he was going to go party in the desert with his fireworks and the gas can was leaking. Is that off the table now?
My guess is that certain idolizers of orange saw the blatant oligarchical cabinet choices, particularly with Elmo and hit some heavy cognitive dissonance. The truck symbolism is right there.
Most people can clearly see he's always been pro-corporate and fuck-you-working class.
The cognitive dissonance from anyone who's been outright worshipping him and has opened their eyes must be straight up torture.
Even magatts are operating on the following when it comes to their political consent: "what leadership will cause the most opportunity for peace for me and my loved ones"
Maggat types have been noted as having a higher proclivity towards in-group thinking, so, to your point, the methods for obtaining peace can be twisted into believing that the out group is the root of the problem.
Think of them as fellow working class with a slight (at times severe) gullability disability if that helps. One class. Working class.
The thing is they want someone worse. Trump isn’t hurting people enough. In their America they do want people being hurt in the liberal America, so they’re not hurting the Real America™️ that they live in. That’s why they’re upset.
