It’s simple psychology really. When someone is so angry or sad or hates themselves so much, seeing other people being happy and/or succeeding reminds them of their own pitiful existence.
I’m no psychologist, but I believe they call it envy.
I don’t know. When I see throngs of joyful MAGA cultists, and that smug grin of their dear leader, I feel a certain level of disgust myself. It’s certainly not envy.
They’re happy because they adore him and what he symbolizes (white supremacy, misogyny, Christian nationalism, homophobia, etc.) - he’s happy because they adore him, and he’s a raging narcissist.
Those things disgust me, and so their happiness disgusts me.
So conversely, their hatred of Kamala & the DNC’s joy could be because they hate what the left symbolizes, in their view.
Not just envy imo. There are plenty of people in my own circle that I’m envious of, but am nothing but thrilled for them over their well deserved success.
We’re seeing the bastard child of envy and hatred… they want what she has, but more than that, they want her to suffer.
