Like, no, you trying to beat me up every time I don’t do what you want can’t be excused with “just being mad”.

Sometimes we dont have an outlet for pent-up anger, fustration, and aggression. We play violent video games, paintball, airsoft war games, and LARP battles, but even that doesn't always help.

This is why we see so many MAGA folks drawn to kick boxing, wrestling, boxing, and other violent sports. It's an outlet for them to release pent-up fustration, anger, and aggression. But even then, sometimes that also doesnt help.

It's partially why MAGA folks are so eager to turn their guns against their fellow human beings.

I know your question wasn't specifically political, but it's what immediately came to mind on this topic.
