Why be so damn obstreperous?

The Questions: Since its likely to create more opponents than members and allies, why is the MAGA cult so happy to reveal its greed and amorality? Why would opportunists hoping to expand their ranks, by pushing for political change, flaunt such repulsive traits? And, please, why must the bullies be so damn obstreperous?

The Answers: All of it hoping to cow liberals by instilling enough fear to provoke a reaction. Exhibitions of unbridled cruelty naturally prompt reactions. A desire to flee is certainly one of them. 

Moreover, when disgust eats its way past our defensive nonchalance, it seems our sense of revulsion magnifies the ambient fear that's already in the air. Obviously, as a tool, fear is a pleasure for the meanest cultists to wield. Which, of course, most of us find to be disgusting. 

Most of the time, Trumpists don't appear to believe solutions are possible. Like, it's just too late for solutions. 

Bottom line: For the MAGA crowd, it looks to me like the daily agenda is to concoct a cruel, twisted version of the truth that suits their master ... that day.
