On trolls, bears, and bear cubs

We have to realize how the Stephen Millers and other misanthropes of this world generally not being able to attract female mates affects their judgment and understanding of the feelings of others. Having never had children- I doubt this Stephen has ever really considered the possibility for himself and probably avoids thinking about those with happy families so as not to cause himself jealousy and dissatisfaction- I don't believe Stephen Miller understands what he is dealing with in the reaction to this new policy. He doesn't grok the intensity of the outrage felt by those with families empathizing, to put it mildly, with the plight of these families being put into concentration camps.

Without a different, deeper source of satisfaction, much like those who might shoot up a school out of anger, these "Stephens" turn to the power of injuring or upsetting others to give their lives meaning. And generally, these Stephens troll others with stupid, indecent ideas and entertain themselves viewing the resulting outrage as shallow "virtue signalling" or pearl-clutching, since they don't believe in decency anyway. The Trump administration has apparently told the media that they WANT this policy to outrage liberals- that the angrier people are, the more political points they will win by the policy, and they think it will help them in the midterms.

But such reasoning is a miscalculation that demonstrates a misunderstanding of humanity. This particular Stephen did not anticipate just how strongly (white) Americans would relate to video footage of EVEN Hispanic mothers and very small children who have been separated from each other. He doesn't understand that the feelings being generated by this story are much less virtue signals and much more of a pure primal rage stemming from 100's of thousands of years of biological evolution. Most parents would indeed do absolutely ANYTHING to protect their children, and the breakdowns we are seeing from many of those reporting this story are quite sincere as they imagine this nightmare being inflicted on harmless people by our own government. This is not a biological instinct one messes with if one is smart.

This Stephen's policy tries to get between the proverbial mother bear and her cub. I, and millions or billions of others, feel an incredible level of anger and disgust thinking about the psychological and medical damage being done to these tiny children left to themselves in cold tents and cages. It's at an intensity I haven't felt in years at a minimum. But Stephen Miller does not understand such things, people having such strong connections to each other. It's alien to him that hearing about totally unreasoned cruelty being pressed upon completely helpless infants, quite literally for the sake of being cruel, gets people's blood up in a natural, undesigned way. This is the kind of thing people do not ever forget, something people feel a biological imperative to act on, and quite rightly. I don't think that bodes well for the Republicans in the midterms at all.
