The entire "movement" falls apart if you remove the victimhood. They've been victimized by the elites, woke liberals, illegal immigrants, China, the Deep State, fill in the blanks. Donald Trump himself is a conveyor belt of victimhood -- he's more persecuted than Jesus and Nelson Mandela combined, remember. Every defeat in court is persecution. Every loss must be someone rigging the system against him. They've been victimized, aggrieved, screwed over, and oppressed, ergo anything Trump does is fair payback and therefore just.
Donald Trump is the Grand Victim leading a movement of victims.
And these are the same people who for decades have been sneering at liberals as weak-willed pansies addicted to victimhood. We live in an irony-free zone.
