that the racist base of the GOP mostly don't live "idyllic" lives. Most of them are marginalized, poor, under-employed, with poor healthcare, and living hardscrabble lives. Being white is quite literally all they have. In their minds, it is the only thing that redeems them. To see a highly intelligent, highly educated, poised and polished Black woman in a position of power and authority is a slap in the face to them. They think she is undeserving, regardless of her credentials and accomplishments, because they think THEY deserve what she has and is because they are white, and for no other reason. They are mad as hell that "the system" is stacked against them, but don't have the critical thinking skills required to see that the people they continue to vote for are the ones conning them and keeping them marginalized, poor, etc.
