The Dynamic Of Good vs Bad

The story has been told many times because it is so predictable with the roles that really clarify who is who.

In any situation, the Good Guys recognize the Bad Guys, dispassionately identify their characteristics and how they threaten order .

Meanwhile, the Bad Guys openly hate the Good Guys simply for catching on to them.

You can see it in school kids who hate the teacher that catches them smoking in the bathroom. You can see it in crime, where the criminals hate the police just for catching them committing crimes.

It's even clearly evident in fictionalized accounts such as superhero movies, where the evil adversary hates Spiderman, while Spiderman simply tries to stop the criminal, but never expresses personal animus toward him.

Right now we have the group in power that's simply trying to do a job.

The out group is constantly expressing open hatred toward the in group.

When Trump was in power it disturbed many people, especially on the left, which led to his forceful ejection from office in a maybe election turn out that Trump and his followers deny to this day.

But during his term there were few to no large gatherings with masses of people screaming hate at Trump, even though many did hate him.

Immediately upon being elected, Joe Biden started enduring literally endless mass expressions of "Fuck JOE BIDEN!" at rallies and demonstrations, people started putting up signs and flags that proclaimed in huge letters, "fuck JOE Biden, and fuck you for voting for him".

People got together at huge events like auto races and would scream, "FUCK JOE BIDEN! FUCK JOE BIDEN!" endlessly.

And then in a bizarre turn a race car driver named Brandon misheard this chant and thought they were cheering him on, chanting "LET'S GO BRANDON!", And this became a sensation among the right, to be repeated millions of times in public and social media as code for "fuck JOE BIDEN."
People who try to stop their kids and even tv shows from using curse words seem completely ok with sending themselves in public by expressing this vitriol.

But that's what bad people do.

Nothing comparable ever happened with Trump. Those of us that opposed him felt quite bitter, but we weren't about to put profanities on our cars and houses, or scream them in public.

Obviously there are extreme circumstances where abusive leaders become hated, but in less clear-cut situations, people tend to assume these roles.

"How dare they catch onto me being a criminal, it's so UNFAIR!", cried everyone at the January 6th attack on the Capitol.

The January 6th commission that is simply collecting testimony from the people who were most closely involved with the attack, and the Trump supporters can't help but reveal themselves AGAIN, condemning the commission and people on it with vicious hatred.

It's ironic, because the transgressors are really the ones who have earned hatred from others, yet no one hates them, but THEY hate everyone else.

It's strange that there are these universal human behaviors wherein people reveal themselves and the roles they occupy in society.

Your think they'd be more cagey.
