    They can’t take other people being happier than they are.

    The millennials I knew who are sympathetic to the far right and vulnerable to their propaganda both had unresolved trauma. Instead of working on themselves, it’s easier to just blame it on the immigrants and brown people trying to impose sharia law. I see the same dynamics in my family (sooo much generational trauma). If we weren’t brown, I could see a lot of them turning to the far right. They cope with their misery and trauma by trying to drag everyone else down with them.
