The Psychology of MAGA

[CrusaderFrank]

If we were to identify ourselves as MAGA and non-MAGA (which includes Americans across the political spectrum), perhaps we can all agree on one thing:

MAGAs appear to get enjoyment -- real enjoyment -- out of seeing non-MAGAs in some kind of distress over MAGA's actions. They cheer on Trump's constant insults and trolling, JD Vance's attacks on our former European allies, reactions to news of the rapid dismantling of the government, the release of violent Capitol criminals. They celebrate it.

So I got to wondering what this is, from a psychological perspective, and I asked Chat GPT (which is pretty freaking amazing if you haven't tried it) "is there a psychological term for a person who enjoys being disliked?"

Here's what I got:

Yes, there are several psychological concepts that could explain why someone might want to be disliked:

1. Counterdependency – A defense mechanism where a person deliberately pushes others away or resists attachment, sometimes by behaving in a way that makes them disliked.
2. Masochistic Personality Traits – Some individuals may have a subconscious desire to create situations where they are rejected or disliked, deriving a sense of validation or control from negative treatment.
3. Rebellious or Oppositional Behavior (Oppositional Defiant Disorder - ODD) – Some people, especially in childhood or adolescence, may act in ways that provoke negative reactions as a way of asserting control or defiance.
4. Self-Sabotaging Behavior – Rooted in low self-esteem or deep-seated beliefs of unworthiness, some individuals may seek out disapproval as a way to confirm negative self-perceptions.
5. Inferiority Complex – A person with an inferiority complex may act in a way that provokes dislike as a means of reinforcing their own negative self-view.
6. Schadenfreude-Seeking (Reverse Narcissism) – Some people enjoy being disliked because it gives them a sense of power or uniqueness, as if they are above social norms or expectations.
7. Martyr Complex – A person with a martyr complex may subconsciously desire rejection or dislike to feel morally superior or to justify a belief that the world is against them.

By USAID?

It doesn't say specifically.

Might be USAID. It's not really screeching yet.

Look under its avatar. Looks maybe like USMB pays it.

Rightwinger is ridiculing me for pointing out that lefties have been bullying maga for years.

He denies it happens. He challenged me to give an example.

He's not a good troll

What you broad brush as “MAGA” is simply Americans who are sick and tired of Waste, Fraud, and Abuse of their Tax dollars. The “pleasure” they get is seeing this shit get exposed because, hopefully, it means it will cease and their will be more Accountability.

The more the Left smears Trump and Musk for uncovering waste, the more the Left is exposing itself.

Libs have been obsessing and crying like babies and squealing pigs now for 8 years over orange man. So OP doesn't see ANYTHING strange here, non stop tooth gnashing, sobbing, doing nothing to advance the country, supports wild child sex engineering, pushing the glowarm hoax etc. They couldn't stop obsessing during the four corn pop years and the OP wants to tell us about psychology? Lol. The SCIENCE.......errr..............the psychology.

Pointing out Trumps many shortcomings comes with the territory

We don't need all these federal agencies.

Well than find a solution that is better and still does those functions

Firing everyone is not a solution

Pointing out Trumps many shortcomings comes with the territory

Territory of squealing pigs, yeah.

It's easier to throw the baby out with the bathwater and let someone else deal with the consequences later. Caveman politics.

We should be auditing everybody and making smart decisions regarding efficiency. No doubt there's plenty that we can do. That would be freakin' great. And overdue.

But snap decisions by one party and an agenda of retribution are not smart ways to do it. Obviously.

Oh oh....Watch out everyone, Mac1958 is venturing again into the wonderful world of play acting again...This is a total failure in trolling his opposition.

1. Mac1958 has absolutely NO credibility in the fields of either psychiatry, or psychology. And even if by some faint possibility that he makes a point that is debatable, he's too much of a ***** to address a debate head on.

2. This opening, as with any of Mac1958's postings are really nothing more than childish trolling of those that disagree with him...Anything this man says should be immediately ignored.

Why aren't libs joining in and auditing the waste? They currently have every opportunity. I would even support their actions.

Thanks for doing the work of meeting his request.

Now he will show that it was wasted effort by his dimissal of your proof.

The party is only relevant because of illegals….If they can’t fund pet projects they can’t buy votes, if they can’t buy votes they can’t win elections.
Remember, they have no ideals to run on…Free shit and emotion is all they have.
