Definitely fear. Note how "destroying the country" is their final conclusion to every paragraph about Dems and RINOs. And these are the droolers who'd hand the US over to another drooler who'd hand it over to Putin whose cyber machinations have been undercutting us for years. They're the same bunch who consider all eight of their fingers trigger fingers. I see no way to pull them out of the RW propaganda blender where clearly their brains have been pureed.

Funny and true and sad comment Judith. That fear is the fear of their very own beautiful selves that someone convinced them must be destroyed or buried at all cost.

That hated self is projected onto lovely, happy accomplished people, especially celebrities. The blender slurry they have become has obscured the breadcrumb trail back to wholeness.

I think they got stuck in getting even when they were young and never looked back.

Interestingly Taylor Swift is saving millions of young people worldwide from the fate of self rejection. She unites them. She sees that every young girl and boy + are perfectly created just the way they are.

Don't know much about Ms. Swift, but last fall when she performed in Detroit two cars full of fans from Oregon, yeah Oregon, stayed at the Airbnb down the street. Chatted with them briefly. It was the only performance site where they could get tickets. Swift inspires some pretty long road trips, so clearly she gives her audience something they want and need. I was impressed with their cheerful exuberance.

Long road trips are easy when you're young. If the only tickets had been in Boston those Oregonians would have driven to Boston. I took a bunch of cross-country car trips my last year of high school, and during college. I took my last x-country trip by surface, the summer after graduating, by bicycle, mostly sleeping under the stars.
