    With many right-wing people, I get the impression that they feel insecure about their own worth. And so, to make themselves feel better, they punch downwards: Women, if those aren’t yet emancipated. Refugees. Minorities.

    If they have the nerve to punch down against disabled people, you know their own worth is zilch.

      While at the same time projecting those groups as privileged compared to them

      Jews can at the same time be the powerful secret rulers of the world but also just a “subhuman” according to them.

      Populism tells people that they are better than others but are also worse off than those that they are better than so they don’t have to feel bad to attack those

        The enemy is both weak and strong. Whatever sells the lie better at the time. Inconsistency is on brand.
