The smugness is really the most annoying thing about it. I've never wanted to torture someone more than when I see that stupid smug liberal face.

That is totally the most annoying thing. I believe it stems from their arrogance and blind sense of superiority. They see themselves as absolutely superior to everyone - to those they speak in the name of and to those who disagree with them, because the former are just inferior and the latter are just dumb and evil. The Liberals are so happy with themselves that they have no shadow of doubt - what if their opponents are actually being reasonable and the people they talk in the name of are simply using them and in fact regard them as worthless and weak dipshits.

(((They))) have figured out how to keep their pets in a constant dunning kruger peak (ironically also keeping their amygdala hyper simulated so they snap at the tiniest challenge to their ideas, which this also reinforces their smug when they say their "winning sentence" like "hmm but we are a nation of immigrants 😏").
It's truly mind blowing that human psychology can be stretched that far.
