You can count on the inferior to hate the superior. It's human nature, and an eternal war.
Dio Cassius 38.39.2 (speech of Caesar; tr. Earnest Cary):
Against this prosperity many are plotting, since everything that lifts people above their fellows arouses both emulation and jealousy; and consequently an eternal warfare is waged by all inferiors against those who excel them in any way.
πολλοὶ γὰρ ἐπιβουλεύουσιν αὐτῇ· πᾶν γὰρ τὸ ὑπεραῖρόν τινας καὶ ζηλοῦται καὶ φθονεῖται, κἀκ τούτου πόλεμος ἀίδιός ἐστιν ἅπασι τοῖς καταδεεστέροις πρὸς τοὺς ἔν τινι αὐτῶν ὑπερέχοντας.
Addendum (8/2/2025)
Let's apply the thought I found at Michael Gilleland's erudite site to current events.
Against the prosperity, peace, and manifold accomplishments of the Trump administration that lift people up, both here and abroad, many are plotting, belittling, denigrating, and refusing to acknowledge. The successes of the current administration arouse both emulation and jealousy, or rather envy. The Democrat attempts at emulation are pathetic and childish consisting of such merely performative stunts as throwing F-bombs (Hunter Biden), working out with weights (Swalwell) and waving around a baseball bat while howling in rage (Cory Booker, a.k.a. 'Spartacus'). It is merely performative when a pussy postures as a tough guy.
And let's not forget the self-deportation of such powerhouse intellects as Rosie O'Donnell and Ellen DeGeneres. Rosie, expecting the grass to be greener on the Emerald Isle, discovered that it is illegal there whereas her supply was assured in LaLaLand (Los Angeles) whence she came. And driven mad by the big bad Orange Man's rent-free residence in her narrow and shallow pate, she can't sleep at night, Zanax, like marijuana, being hard to find in Ireland. Her spatial translation has not abated her ire which continues to be regularly displayed on TikTok as Jesse Watters is wont to report.
As for Democrat envy of Trump, it is perhaps the main source of their mindless hatred of the man, a hatred so intense and unhinged as to warrant a quasi-psychiatric appellation, 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' (TDS). The Dems are in such disarray that they are reduced to trotting out their discredited bromides and tired bullshit, and as for the various cards they play, race, white supremacy, Hitler, and the rest, they haven't noticed that they are played out. People who ought to know better such as Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ) claim with a straight face that the Dems failed to get their message across. Kelly, a former astronaut, is an intelligent man, but such people sometimes say stupid things. The Dems have no message and they have no messenger. A message both salutary and sellable cannot consist of an embrace of 80-20 issues such as allowing biological males to compete in women's sporting events, and a 90-10 issue such as allowing the nation's border to remain wide open. And who might be their messenger in 2028? Kamala the clown? Did you hear the airhead's latest inanities? Are you paying attention?
What we have here is a war for the soul of America. That was one of the few intelligent things Traitor Joe said. The current Dems are a pack of inferiors who hate us because of our superiority morally and intellectually.
"An eternal warfare is waged by all inferiors against those who excel them in any way."
Addendum 2 (8/3/2025). "It is merely performative when a pussy postures as a tough guy." Replete with trademark MavPhil alliteration. Corroboration:
A highly theatrical Sen. Cory Booker screamed a series of false justifications for his obstructionism on the Senate floor. “For us to move forward as a body is to be complicit in what Donald Trump is doing. I say, ‘no.’”
The New Jersey Democrat asserted the administration was rounding up people “with a right to be in this country,” unaware the Kilmar Abrego-Garcia “Maryland Man” story has been exposed as a hoax. Far from being a sympathetic citizen, Abrego-Garcia is an illegal alien facing human trafficking charges.
Mr. Booker also pretends that CBS didn’t fire Stephen Colbert because of his rock-bottom television ratings. “I see businesses taking late night talk show hosts off the air because they dare to insult a president,” Mr. Booker said. “That is complicity with an authoritarian leader who is trashing our constitution. It’s time for Democrats to have a backbone, it’s time for us to fight, it’s time to draw a line.”
