There is a huge sense that the extreme right wingers are oppressed and victimised. Mainly because they get called out on times they act like arseholes.
My favourite "victims" are the right-wing fundamentalists who claim that being forced to treat homosexuals with respect, violates their right to right religious freedom. And that they need protection from these gays who just want to do business with them.
Or Trump himself. The King of the Victims. The MSM treated him so badly when they gave him 2 billion dollars worth of free media time, which he used to get himself elected. And when they called him on his lies (which were endless and which continue until this day), he called the media "liars".
I have come to recognize that if Donald calls someone out for something, it's because he's pointing and saying "Look over there! Crooked Hillary is going to bring people from Goldman Sachs, because she's in their pockets. She took money from them to make a speech.". But look who's the new Treasury Secretary. Goldman Sachs.
The Education Secretary, is a woman who never attended a public school, and whose children have never attended a public school. She's in favour of a voucher program for Charter Schools. Watch the US drop another 10 ranking points in education over the next 10 years.
When the US had an entirely public education system, and parents couldn't design their own ciricculum to suit their religious and political beliefs, the US lead the world in public education. Once Reagan came in and started giving Americans "choice" in education, Americans have chosen to raise their children in ignorance and superstition, and the results can be seen in corporations choosing not to locate in the US because the workers are not well educated, the infrastructure is crumbling, and the government is more interested in playing politics than running the country.
New scientific breakthroughs aren't coming from the US, but rather Europe and Asia, and Canada. Americans are too fixated on profits and taxes.
This century does not belong to the United States.
