I can't put it differently. I sometimes feel contempt for people falling for rightwing messiah figures. They fuck themselves in the process, and that is tied to my second reason for contempt. Ignorance and to a lesser degree stupidity. Real stupidity is a mitigating factor in my opinion, since the faculties to know any better are lacking.
