Text: Politics as ressentiment entices Trump supporters. If you resign yourself to the reality that the political system is broken and that the world is burning, why not vote for the guy that trolls people you hate? Why not own the libs and drink liberal tearS? Clark says that Trump supporters are "as cynical as he is. Or rather, they are serious about spectacle. About the chanting, the hats, the latest insult. They know that's what politics now is." Some Trump supporters were motivated mainly by a desire to use slurs, which "wokeness" has taken away from them. Trump supporters believe that if the world is going to burn, they might as well have fun in the process. Fascism's embrace of nihilism is directly tied to its embrace of bad faith, as Sartre observed almost a century ago. You can't reason with fascists because they don't care about making sense. It's all a game.
