    You have a good point, but I’d like to add that the group mentality is probably different from what a single bully would do or feel.

    I think that this comes from these people being scared of not fitting in and from not having anything in common with the other people who don’t fit it, so instead of uniting for a common goal, they can only find unity in being against something that they have in common not being. That’s why they attack minorities of all kinds.

    It also explains the hypocrisy. The individual isn’t afraid of abortions, homosexuals or mexicans. Sometimes they need to accept those on an individual level, but they still go along with the anti-politics because it’s not about themselves personally.

    Facism isn’t just based on simple hatred. It’s mostly based on fear of not fitting in, because the individual is well aware of their own not fitting in.
