  Like Trump, RFK Jr has been swallowed by his childhood trauma, and wants to make the whole world pay for it.

  I keep saying it: people’s relationship with abuse and abusers is the key to understanding their relationship with Trump.
  If you want to know why somebody voted for him, look at who’s abused them and who they’ve abused in their own life, and look at how they feel about that.

  I can’t say if any of the MAGA ppl I know personally have been abused or are abusers (2 friends, 2-4 family members) but a common theme I’ve noticed is that they did not have a supportive father in their life growing up, and they did not particularly like to read.
  But then there’s this, which says RWA personality is mostly genetic.
  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Right-wing authoritarianism
    
    In psychology, right-wing authoritarianism (RWA) is a set of attitudes, describing somebody who is highly submissive to their authority figures, acts aggressively in the name of said authorities, and is conformist in thought and behavior. The prevalence of this attitude in a population varies from culture to culture, as a person's upbringing and education play a strong role in determining whether somebody develops this sort of worldview. The right-wing authoritarian was defined by Bob Altemeyer as a refinement of the research of Theodor Adorno. Adorno was the first to propose the existence of an authoritarian personality as part of an attempt to explain the rise of fascism and the Holocaust, but his theory fell into disfavor because it was associated with Freudian psychoanalysis. But Altemeyer felt that Adorno was on to something, and so developed a more scientifically rigorous theory. The RWA scale was designed to measure authoritarianism in North America. It has proven to be similarly reliable in English-speaking countries such as Australia, but less effective in other countries such as France due to cultural differences and translation issues. ...

  Fascinating. I strongly suspect that all this is entangled, but I’m already out my depth and would love it to those who’ve done more careful study to tease that out.

  another thing that happens when kids grow up in an abusive family is they either identify with their abusers or go the opposite way
  i got a qualified therapist, healed as best i could and decided not to be like my abusive family
  some kids decide they like power and control and become abusers themselves

  Both of those patterns are ones I specifically had in mind with that post.
  I’m really glad you got help and did the work to help break the cycle. That is so tough and so important.
