I haven't seen my parents in over a decade. Born in '50 & '51 they check all the boxes of the worst stereotypes.
Republican ✓
White ✓
Racist ✓
Bigoted ✓
Ultra-Religious ✓
Limited education ✓
Entitled ✓
Narcissistic ✓
Physically and emotionally abusive ✓
Depended their parents assistance until their mid-30's, kicked their kids out at 18 (17 for me). ✓
I honestly have no clue if they are MAGA or not. I suspect they are because my older sister was pictured in the news at the orange cheetos inauguration.
It's the Republican MO: everyone needs to suffer from everything I've ever had to deal with at a bare minimum. More is fine, but anything less than every single issue I had to deal with (whether I really did, or just think I did, thanks to a healthy victim complex) is unacceptable.
In practice, it looks a lot like the socialism they claim to hate, but only for negativity. Hoard everything good, distribute everything bad.
And the "suffering" is always "I worked hard for what I got" meaning they got an entry-level job working 40 hrs a week that let them buy a house and raise 2.4 kids on a single salary.
One thing that constantly surprised me on reddit was in the personal finance sub, there was a post about this about once a month, give or take. It's just shocking how often it happens. It was in the FAQs because it happened so often.
