Deep dives

The Psychology of Victimhood

Democrats exhibit a desire to be perceived as victims, particularly in relation to Donald Trump, which reveals significant psychological patterns. This phenomenon can be likened to a thermostat that individuals adjust based on their emotional climate, leading them to manufacture victim narratives when their personal experiences do not meet their desired level of perceived victimization. The pursuit of victimhood grants social currency, as it appears more favorable to possess a compelling narrative of struggle rather than showcasing hard work or talent. This creates a competitive environment where the most dramatic victimhood story prevails, distorting their grasp on reality and overshadowing genuine victim experiences.
