And good to see you too, Remulak

Well here it is so others can read it because I think it fits psychologically with the endless projection.

They know they aren’t very bright…

or well educated…

or wealthy…

or young…

or handsome…

or successful with the opposite sex…

or the same sex…

In fact, pretty much everyone is smarter and has better job prospects. They used to be able to cling to some weird meme that consoled “at least I’m white.” Yet, being white doesn’t make anyone special, and a black president just proves that point so powerfully, that even a wingnut can’t miss it.

Of course they feel persecuted. Every damn day is the persecution of realizing they are ignorant, hateful, bottom of the barrel sorts.

Of course they feel persecuted.

Of course they do.

And of course they in their limited narcissistic ways cling on to some illusion of being hunted by a great conspiracy.

Right?

In that world, the wingnut becomes a “brave freedom fighter with powerful foes…” After all, to be the object of a conspiracy, one must be important. Why they are not just important, with nothing more than a half remembered semi-education, that actually educated people sneer at, they have the true secret knowledge! They figured it out with nothing more than their Fox News decoder rings! By gum! They have the SECRETS damn it and they are important and here on the magic of the net… they ARE important! So important that all the evil liberals in the world need to band together to fight their fat headed and thick fingered typing on twitter.

That is much more attractive than reality… You know, the one where the GOP really doesn’t serve the little guy at all. The one where they have to work harder for less, and the people they elect make it that way. The one where their lack of education gets them squat in a tougher job market. The one where no, they really are just old bitter fat white trash that no-one serious would give the time of day. The real world where their medieval views about gay people and women’s rights are mocked. The real world where anything out of the Fox News and wingnut blogosphere just hammers in their utter failure, where no one cares about the hateful musings of ignorant, racist hicks.
