People who are the butt of such jokes have an innate tendency to agree and pretend it’s not about them because they’re one of the good ones. It’s sad but that’s basically the same thing happening with the white people the Nazis deemed weren’t pure enough, or the whites the early US settlers used to hate on. In another time, JD Vance would have been too Irish to be Trumps VP. That’s what this whole ideology is based on, there’s no fixed in group, the out group target is always changing.

A reason why some German Jews supported Hitler was that they thought that his anti-Semitism was only for "stirring up the masses".[1] Also, they adhered to a kind of respectability politics that led many non-Jews in the German Reich to congratulate the VnJ with the phrase, "If only all Jews were like you."[2]
I have a few lesbian coworkers who are absolutely rabid trumpers. It's just some of the craziest shit I've encountered in person.
How to get imagined social status:
- Look up to an authoritarian shitheel
- Imagine your love for them would be reciprocated in their love for you
- Act like "I'm one of the good ones" and oppress people who are like you but don't perfectly match up to the idealised figure of the authoritarian leader
Oppressing others is a win/win for people who enjoy pretending to important AND bullying others, and I can't see it ever completely going out of style.
I take it they're TERFs?
I don't know their views on that, it's never come up. I know they really hate black people, which is the primary impetus behind their support of trump. They like to use the word "native" to describe them, thinking they're oh-so-subtle and secret with that shit, similar to the "let's go brandon" vibe.
I never thought the leopards would eat my face, says person voting for leopards eating faces party.
It's even worse: it's "I never thought the leopards who said they would eat all faces and actually ate several on live TV would ever actually eat any faces," says person voting for leopards eating faces party because they promised to eat faces.
"I'm one of the good ones!"
