I don't know anything about Hondaracer other than knowing he's got a massive boner for Trudeau, but my friends who are like this all seem to fit in the same boat. Massive underachievers who can't understand why their peers have rocketed ahead of them in life, despite them feeling or maybe even being more intelligent than their peers.
These guys all feel they know something the rest of us don't and the more push back they get more sure they are. It just leads to an unhealthy contrarian view which is self-destructive for them and our society.
Trump is just a symptom of this, though he also seems to amplify it along with Musk, Fox news, etc.

The Bitcoin bros are
INSUFFERABLE.
I have a number of them as friends, same story, underachievers, mad at the world, took a gamble on throwing some money at Bitcoin years ago and made some bank (upwards of $100K and more), now they act like they're some kind of economic savants while posting about Trump in their stories on the weekly.
The crazy thing is many of them are minorities -- Filipino, Brown, Persian, Black, Chinese, etc.
Trump could bomb and extradite everyone from their countries tomorrow and they'd still be celebrating the man because they made a profit in crypto.
Garbage people.
