Every day we get more and more signs that people on the far right really just want a dictatorship. They'll raise a stink every time a criminal isn't adequately punished for breaking the law. But the moment a politician they support gets in trouble, they think punishment is unacceptable.
And they make these arguments with a straight face. They are trolling the nation.
I was reading an interesting piece on the psychology of trolls. What they found is that trolls have very good self-esteem but they're socio and/or psychopathic. There's a huge element of truth to this. The more time I spend on the internet, the more the idea that trolls are low self-esteem or looking to bolster their egos doesn't jive with reality. But the idea that these are people who are intrinsically antisocial, lack empathy, remorse or other pro-social conditions to some degree really strikes home.
And it aligns with how the current Trump side of the political spectrum is behaving. They are not low self-esteem, they are low empathy, low pro-social behavior and intrinsically lack respect for others.
