As the title suggests, the emotional immaturity stems from a child like view of the world where there are clearly bad actors, good actors, and the only one who can rectify it is some authority figure.

- Dont want to be taxed for every single program under the sun, you must hate poor people. Therefore you’re mean and must be locked up
don’t want to give up your guns, no worries, government will take care of you; and you can’t fight them
It’s this child like view of the world that’s whole heartedly infuriating about them. They refuse to take matters into their own hands and force “compassion” on to others
