I think politics of grievance appeals to certain individuals. Not just the divorced, who generally feel that, but for folks who are lonely, and who may have just been left behind by an increasingly uncaring and bleak world, without the tools to deal with those emotions and address it. It's why the links between these groups and people like Tate and Peterson are plain for all to see.

Bonding around hating out groups can be traced all the way back to our primate roots, and alliances these days are undeniably, increasingly, based around hating folks, and the belief that others are getting away with things, or have perceived advantages they themselves do not share.
