   @AnarchoNinaWrites There’s a pretty good writeup by @CrimethInc about this: https://todon.eu/@CrimethInc/113769009046594444

   What's striking about the manifesto left by the Trump supporter who shot himself and set his truck on fire outside the Trump hotel in Las Vegas is that the desire to harm others merges with the urge to self-destruction.

   Arguably, this characterizes millions of Trump supporters.

   It's no coincidence that a man the FBI described as a "heavily decorated combat veteran" would end his life saying "I needed relieve myself of the burden of the lives I took.” Being a killer for hire weighs heavy on the conscience.

   These mercenaries are damning themselves to living hell so that billionaires like Trump and Musk can turn a profit.

   This sort of tormented anger is common among Trump supporters. On some level, they must sense that the climate disasters smashing their communities are caused by the oil profiteers they defend—that they are more to blame for the problems of this society than undocumented people or trans people. Their self-righteousness masks self-hatred.

   Their fantasies of civil war conceal a desire to kill themselves.
