A lot of this seems to make them feel better about themselves .

I sometimes respond to these things by asking if it's so bad why do people with a lot of wealth live in these places and they just respond with anger and attacks. Things like "shut up libtard" .

Mostly these people just seem really angry and they enjoy seeing and the thought of other people suffering .

This is why they support Trump. Trump's sense of victimhood while he is the one that attacks others is something they relate to .
