They seem to be delighting in the destruction of our government.
After all they've listened for years and believed the lie that it's our government that is the enemy which needs to be destroyed and not the oligarchs behind the control levers.

(52,495 posts)they absolutely love government control when it keeps women and people of color down.
they love a government that protects the property of the rich and big corporations and powerful courts that prevent competition.
they only are anarchists when it comes to government trying to stop rich people and businesses from polluting, defrauding, and keeping all the money.

(35,096 posts)Between a racist and classist "war on drugs"... or more correct to say some people who use some drugs. A healthcare system that's a joke, a very deadly joke. And "national security" is apparently the idea that "Sure there's a mass shooter, but he's not a funny color or religion, so... win."
Our government's not exactly doing a good job to show that it's our ally, that's for sure.

(5,319 posts)...said he was being "an anarchist" like, he claimed, I used to be when I was a Yippie.
He fits the "simple-minded" descriptor, anarchist or not.
Turns out, on election day, he was out of the country on vacation, and never voted for anybody, much less Trump.
And I still consider myself to be (an old) Yippie!

(1,474 posts)I remember seeing a protest sign against Obama saying something like "Keep your government hand off my social security".
Also, remember how much better Obamacare did in poles when called ACA instead of Obamacare.
They love when the government helps them especially when they can deny it is the government helping them. And they damn sure don't want "any of them dark-skinned people mooching from the government".

(2,787 posts)progressive viewpoints without a central government to enforce progressive policies leaving it solely up to local communities. Trump supporter are your just classic old angry republicans that want an authoritarian government.

(50,254 posts)Anarchists generally have an inspiring, positive vision of a future based on voluntary social cooperation. At this point, what they work for may not be workable, but they are driven by a commitment to a better, more compassionate and sharing form of life.
Nihilists just want to trash shit for the sake of trashing shit...like THESE guys:

(798 posts)who support Trump do it because they despise the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. They hate the Judicial Branch of government because attempts to force other Americans to live per their "religious" creed are usually overturned, with the rights of minorities protected. In their warped world view, they see themselves as being persecuted by the government because others want to be free to live their lives as they please without someone else's religion dictating the terms.

(6,530 posts)that's not quite it either.
One thing that seems to tie them all together is their universal loathing of us. This election was nothing but a huge hatefuck to all of us. We're the enemy that unites them. For years they've been listening to the fiction that we're PC baby-killing gun-stealing anti-American demonic illuminati thugs, and they believe it.
They did it for the lulz & the libtard tears. It's the 4chan presidency.
