Chat GPT partially agrees with you:

Question: "what drives passive-aggressive behavior?

Short answer: unexpressed anger mixed with fear."

So besides being fearful @TOP is angry about something. I'm thinking it's about @Hawkeye10 forgetting their safe word.

Here's the entire GPT answer:

The anger comes from disappointment at life, IMO. Hence the desperation to make up the fantasy life she concocted with a husband, large expensive home, vacays, golfing every day, kids plural, etc. The anger comes from having that fantasy revealed to be a crock, And from fierce jealousy/envy of those who actually do have a happy life, love, family, achievement, joy. Grievance is what makes a MAGAT a MAGAT, and the prey of conmen like Trump. It's far easier to blame others for their disappointment and envy than it is to do something about it.

I agree it's natural to avoid being hurt, but some people succumb to a fear of being hurt while others move forward despite potential pain or actual pain itself.

Also agreed on cowardice, which includes people who blame others for their problems instead of accepting the painful truth: personal accountability. IOW, MAGAts who want a daddy to fix their lives for them.

Spot on. Now, "scapegoating" is something common to MAGA's but not necessarily listed in the symptoms of passive-aggressive behavior. Scapegoating is an authoritarian/totalitarian strategy to "give the people someone to be against" in order to manipulate them into supporting you. That's what trump has done - called out the "immigrants poisoning American blood" and the trumptards came all over themselves.

Sometimes, scapegoating is all it takes - MAGA's need someone to blame for how miserable their lives have become.

Envy - good point. One reason Republicans can appeal to people who live in rural areas is that they can put up photos of Democrats partying with celebrities - it stirs their envy.

I absolutely agree. Remember how starstruck trump was when Mandani was in the Oval? It was because Mandani is now a celebrity and trump longs to be a part of it.

An excellent analysis and agreed.

Despite the fact several MAGAts claim to be Buddhists, they all fail to recognize that all MAGAts are guilty of want and the suffering that follows it. They are the cause of their own pain but are too weak and/or stupid to recognize this fact which is why they want a Daddy to fix it for them.

Suffering is wanting what you don’t have and having what you don’t want

Buddhism is a 2500 year old religion referred to as the philosophy of awakening. Up until a hundred years ago, Buddhism was mainly an Asian philosophy but it has increasingly gained adherents in Eu…

The Second Noble Truth of Buddhism is that all suffering is caused by craving. When we crave something but are unable to get it, we feel frustrated. When we expect someone to live up to our expectations and they do not, we feel let down and disappointed. When we want others to like us and they don’t, we feel hurt.

Even when we want something and are able to get it, it does not often lead to happiness because either we lose interest in it or we begin to fear that something will happen that causes us to lose it. Stated simply, the Second Noble Truth teaches that suffering results from wanting what you don’t have and having what you don’t want. This wanting and worrying deprives us of contentment and happiness.

It is remarkable that Socrates, even though he held polytheistic views, and lived before Buddhism was established, came to the same conclusions regarding the root cause of suffering in his writings:

“If you don’t get what you want, you suffer; if you get what you don’t want, you suffer; even when you get exactly what you want, you still suffer because you can’t hold on to it forever. Your mind is your predicament. It wants to be free of change. Free of pain, free of the obligations of life and death. But change is law and no amount of pretending will alter that reality.”​
