my personal experience agrees. I think this is what is powering Qanon as well — a deep, wrestling anxiety over the thought that they might have enabled really terrible things happening around them.
Like, for God’s sake, this entire thing started with John Podesta supposedly emailing someone about a “cheese pizza,” which is a term that is probably, unfortunately, deeply familiar to anyone who had precocious levels of Internet access in the early 2000s.
Basically, it is not a code word that a 70 year old man would use in 2014, in public email, on the campaign trail. In fact, he was ordering, literally, a fucking pizza for his staff.
And meanwhile, their hero president is a rapist who was best friends with and a regular guest of the most high profile child sex abuser and procurer in American history.
I would think that much cognitive dissonance would actually be painful.
Maybe it is, and that helps explain their constant misdirected seething rage.
