SADISM: A MAGA virtue

A workmate decorated his locker with Trump stickers. He came in today and daid someone tried to remove one of his stickers. He said “if I see that guy on the street, I will fucking rip his fucking face off!” He was smiling while he said this, while baring his canines. A couple of guys gathered around. They started mocking anyone who voted for Kamala and laughing.
MAGA and SADISM often go hand in hand.

Pulling wings off flies. Kicking the dog and having it come back for more. Emotionally torturing your own family members. Separating families at the border and then deporting them.

They can't feel emotions normally. Hurting others gives them a charge that can't be had elsewhere.

Both have certain sexual predilections and get those needs met.
Sex is not just about the body, it is about the psyche.

3. All the traditional policy issues that once divided conservatives and liberals have been stripped away.

The political divide that exists in America today has been distilled into fundamental and opposing views of the world, and how we treat others. It's the difference between cruelty vs kindness, violence vs peace, ignorance vs education, and truth vs lies.

If you can only feel for yourself you can harm others without that troublesome regret.

11. Trump doesn't care about the traditional issues at all.

He doesn't even know what they are.

He is only about money and power.
The rest is just his usual word salad and running his mouth for votes.
