    The way I see it, it’s because social acceptance is a core part of the right’s collective trauma.

    Treating them as odd or undesirable is likely to provoke a response. It’s Kryptonite.

    I’ve been waiting for someone to figure it out. 😝

      It’s a narcissistic need to be “better than”

      The moment a comment that shows them people perceive them as anything but flawless, those cracks break and their facade can’t hold back the shitty human underneath.

      When my wife’s 11-year old niece said “Grammy isn’t as nice as she thinks she is” loud enough to hear, that was a shit show and a half.
