    They’re afraid of the same thing all these right wing nuts are afraid of: someone else being in power.

    It turns out that when you base your entire political and economical landscape on abusing and suppressing the cultural “out” groups, becoming one of those groups is scary.

      Right, but they are the alpha macho men that are not afraid of anything. Don’t they realize how pathetic they look when they base their opinions on pure expressions of fear? Of fear, in particular, of what they consider “lesser?”

        They are men that project the image of not being afraid of anything. They are actually very scared of a lot of things. Lots of their shit is performative.

        Very few things in life are more fun than taking the wind out of the sails of dickheads like those.
