I don’t know. When I see throngs of joyful MAGA cultists, and that smug grin of their dear leader, I feel a certain level of disgust myself. It’s certainly not envy.

They’re happy because they adore him and what he symbolizes (white supremacy, misogyny, Christian nationalism, homophobia, etc.) - he’s happy because they adore him, and he’s a raging narcissist.

Those things disgust me, and so their happiness disgusts me.

So conversely, their hatred of Kamala & the DNC’s joy could be because they hate what the left symbolizes, in their view.
