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

i've been saying for years about republicans

if you haven't ever lived in an abusive relationship

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, how they conceptualize it.

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.

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
