"Stanley says that it’s part of the overall structure of what his colleague Timothy Snyder calls #sadopopulism: putting policies into place that inflict real pain and harm on the #US populace, while also encouraging scapegoating and #xenophobia against stigmatized groups...

“What they’re offering people is not health insurance or economic security,” Stanley says. “They’re offering them delight in the torture of others.”"

Reform UK voters voted for this cruelty and they will do it again if they're not called out on it.
They haven't been 'tricked', they just want to see the rest of us suffer like MAGA do in America.
Stop looking for a decency which isn't there. Stop thinking you can convince Trash to not be Trash, if their families can't manage it then you certainly can't

@georgetakei it's what 77 million Americans wanted to happen to everyone else. They will vote for him again if given the chance, it was never about 'economic malaise'

#USPOL #USPOLITICS #Trump #SadoPopulism

They're pelting him with stones now, but they'll vote for the next twat like him because he'll promise to harm The Other and that's all these voters care about.
It's not 'Economic Malaise' ,it's the desire to step on other people and have them suffer because of your vote.

Sadly, the people who vote for Milei, Trump and Farage don't care if they fuck up the country, so long as other people suffer....that's what those voters want to see.
Don't believe their bollocks about 'economic malaise', they're spiteful and just want to see other people suffer and be miserable like they are.

“It’s the U.S. government itself saying, “This is something we’re doing together, we’re having a blast, we’re laughing and those wimpy liberals are saying it’s scandalous. We’re going to show our power over them by having as much fun as possible.”

“The push has started from within MAGA, and the regime is hoping it will spread. The Trump White House, for example, actively propagates images and memes about brutal detention and deportation, inviting the public to wallow in torture and cruelty. As Professor Jason Stanley of the University of Toronto explained, “What you have is this desire to get people to buy into the fun of sadism.”

“And the government? Trump wants people to understand that it inflicts pain. It makes you hurt. It’s all encompassing and all powerful, and you just want so badly for it to harm others more than you. So instead of thinking about how we all might prosper together in the future, Trump would see us cast into different competing groups, fighting over scraps, trying to feel less relative pain.”

“In a functioning democracy, elected politicians actually try to help their constituents, even if they disagree about how best to do so. But in today’s political climate, we now have one party that actively seeks to harm its own voters, along with everyone else.”

"Today, this explains why red state legislators can continue to focus on oppressing women and LGBTQ+ people instead of improving conditions for their states’ residents, while the poorest whites among them continue to re-elect them."

"It explains how rich property owners in the South could continue to justify massive wealth inequality while dire poverty persisted in those states. The problem wasn’t the oligarchs; it was the Blacks, so the narrative went."

"And when you zoom out a bit, you see that the entire Confederacy, and even the post-Civil War era of Jim Crow in the South, was built upon sadopopulism. It explains the public torture and lynchings of Black citizens while whites looked on with their children in tow, as if attending a happy social gathering."

"If Trump can successfully make people ignore what is actually happening and focus instead on long-held divisions and resentments, then his voters could find solace knowing that at least they are better off than them.

And the government? Trump wants people to understand that it inflicts pain. It makes you hurt."

"If you teach people that life is full of pain and grievance, Snyder argues, then at least Trump’s voters have the consolation that they are not suffering as badly as immigrants, minorities and queer people. And that, it turns out, is a powerful motivator."

Jay Kuo asks why Trump constantly inflicts pain on his own followers and why they love him for it. He points to Timothy Snyder's term "sadopopulism,” "a terrifying but winning strategy if it isn’t addressed head-on and stopped in its tracks."
