    The group whose identity is hating those they perceive as beneath them are shocked to find the man above them hates them.

      Nah, the unspoken truth is that they know he hates them and they like it. They hate themselves for being poor as much as they hate everyone else. That’s what MAGA is built on: For every rich prick that is prioritizing their own business interests, there are a hundred thousand myopic fucks who know that they have failed under the current socioeconomic system, and believe wholeheartedly that they would rise to the top if we could reset to a more violent system. The only reason he’s losing support now is that his supporters are finding out in real time that they still fucking suck in their preferred system, or at best they’re malding “NooOOoo, you were supposed to break it all in the way I fantasized myself succeeding, not like this!!!”
