I don't think the right realizes that this kind of self-conscious, attention-baiting, tryhard stuff gets them easily clocked as losers. They remind me of the uncool guys in middle school who always had their hands in their pockets because they were too afraid of moving them wrong, and would call any expression of unbridled enthusiasm "gay" because they resented not feeling like they had the social permission for similar expression.

These people are nothing, if Kamala had a rally with Bernie where they hugged all these people would shut the fuck up for at least a year.

They are addicted to the feeling of power they get when sneering at something/someone. Whenever they say "clown world" they feel like Jim from the Office staring directly at the camera--as if they are in the know, the most informed ones, the superior ones. That plus the comment sections of these videos give them a rush from both them posting and getting likes, and seeing their existing views get articulated by others--that rush of validation is hard to come by IRL.

They aren't necessarily miserable in the traditional sense, in the first person, as long as they are not directly doing introspection or evaluating how far detached from everyday people they have made themselves. Usually the craving for these feelings of superiority/validation comes from them trying to mute some deeper insecurity and inadequacy they are avoiding facing up to at all costs.

For instance a lot of judgmental puritanical people are also frightened of the possibility that they can't hang with the cool crowd and cannot make themselves likable in social settings, so adopting the worldview that those who can are actually just "mainstream," sheep or forbearers of civilizational collapse enables them to cast themselves as righteous/principled for not participating in the worlds that they'd felt excluded by in the first place.

The harm these people are ultimately doing though is what is known as "self esteem debt," mentally placing themselves on pedestals they did not earn through any real-world action, and having to retreat to ever more demented circles and echo chambers to sustain the feeling of being on the right side of something--leaving their own self development stagnating, letting their insecurities compound rather than be unpacked.

It makes them feel as small as they actually are rather than as big as they present themselves to be.

Well some of his kids definitely skipped school

A secret trick that dumb liberals who performatively denounce "mud-slinging" overlook is that if your insult to your opponent is undeniably funny or resonant, they cannot repeat it to shame you because it will get more people to laugh at them than to be outraged on their behalf.

The RNC recently tried to attack Kamala by showing a clip of her laughing at Trump being called the r-slur, but too many people get why Trump would be called that, and the "how dare she" responses were overpowered by responses saying "based."

This is also why the Vance couch cushions bit is effective, there is no way to condemn that insult by name without humiliating yourself more than you shame your insulters.

Funny story, one time a bunch of these people were mad at Jesse Farrar, host of Your Kickstarter Sucks, for tweeting out a joke about drowning young conservatives. One angered tweet replier posted a photo of his dog's penis and told Jesse something like "Suck my dog's dick you sicko!" However, others quickly pointed out that since the dog's penis was erect, the replier must have erotically stimulated his dog by hand to ensure that its penis would be prominent enough for the photo. Upon receiving too many of these bestiality accusations, the poster quickly deleted his post.

Damn Amber Rose going from being in the Mask Off video to this is like if The Rock started doing that slap fight show.

Joe is a race traitor to the Irish for supporting Israel

Also to her claiming Joe Biden ended Apartheid in South Africa

This is also partially the fault of capitalism, anti-social shut-ins who spend all day being whiny and precious about their media slop are the most dependable consumers and organic promoters in the eyes of the companies putting said slop out. So for years every press release and piece of marketing content was designed to appease these chuds, because if some weirdos somewhere take ownership of your franchise's success without you paying them anything, they are basically volunteer marketers, even though you are just feeding their unhealthy dependence on their fandom as the sole source of life purpose and community, enabling them to continue sidelining the work of unpacking the traumas that made them this way.

The first step is teaching them to want something realistic, informed by what they feel deep down, and not dehumanizing so they can actually "wear it on their sleeve" when approaching a woman rather than feeling like it's a secret shame they have to insidiously spring on the woman at the moment her guard is down.
