who is perpetually "in a state of outrage". I used to work with some. They had personal/family problems, financial problems, and often health problems, and really had no other way to work through that other than rant.

The GOP plays to these vulnerable people who actually need various types of counseling to help resolve their many unfortunate issues, but such is either not available to them or is refused by them.

So they end up embracing others who "rant" and excel at attacking others (which apparently results in a flood of endorphins making them "feel good" after they do it), and that is basically how the GOP sucks them in.
