Tucker Carlson has astutely analyzed the Democratic Machine as the party of weirdness, envy, hate, resentment, and bitterness. (1)
Conservatives, Pastors, and Christian bible study groups really ought to delve deeply into the sin condition called envy because then they would understand and see it at work today in revolutionary and woke politics, ideology, DEI, Critical Race Theory, Queer Theory, Sustainability, all redistributionism policies, Climate Change, Green politics, Darwinism (reduces human to not-human), scapegoating and more. Marxism, for example, is envy reframed as revolutionary politics and science that will create utopia when every cause for envy has been eradicated:
“When I say that Marxism is based on envy, I mean that the glorious revolution of the proletariat…was really a promise to put a final end to all the conditions that make for envy.” (Joseph Epstein, author and former editor of The American Scholar, from Truths about Socialism, Coral Ridge Ministries, p. 66.
Pride (narcissism) is the devil’s original sin, and necessary aspect of envy. which is why in his commentary on Psalm 18/2, 15, St. Augustine records that pride turned Lucifer into Satan and banned him eternally from heaven. Just as pride turned Lucifer into Satan, the Prince of lies, envy, heresy, murder, rage, and demonic darkness, it leads the soul to likewise rebel against God, and inflated by devilish pride, wander off into Satan’s darkness. This vice is therefore no slight evil:
“It makes those infected with it refuse to bow their necks to the yoke of Christ while they harness themselves all the more tightly to the bondage of sin.” Augustine
Envy is comprised of pride, selfishness, self-centeredness, jealousy, covetousness, greed, hatred, resentment, and vengeance-seeking. Throughout the ancient and modern world (ie modern Turkey and the Middle East) this sin condition was and is still known as the Evil Eye. It was and is greatly feared by ancient pagans and modern Middle Easterners. From ancient to modern times mankind has mistakenly attributed envy to something outside of man when envy comes from within man. Envy is the passion that causes evil. It is the father of death,
“… the first entrance for sin, the root of wickedness, the birth of sorrow, the mother of misfortune, the basis of disobedience, the beginning of shame. Envy banishes us from paradise…Envy made Joseph a slave. Envy is the death-dealing sting, the hidden weapon, the sickness of nature, the bitter poison, the self-willed emaciation, the bitter dart, the nail of the soul, the fire in the heart, the flame burning on the inside…” (Life of Moses, Gregory of Nyssa, quoted in Death by Envy, Fr. George R.A. Aquaro, p. 74)
In his first edition dictionary, “The American Dictionary of the English Language, 1828” Noah Webster defines envy as,
“…pain, uneasiness, mortification or discontent excited by the sight of another’s superiority (often spiritual) or success, accompanied by some degree of hatred or malignity, often or usually with a desire or an effort to depreciate the person, and with pleasure at seeing him depressed; malice, malignity, invidiousness, ill will.”
In Herbert Schlossberg’s seminal work, “Idols for Destruction: The Conflict of Christian Faith and American Culture,” Schlossberg, a Fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center and leading scholar on the relationship between Christianity and the societies in which it has existed, writes that resentment begins with perceived injury occasioned by envy toward and covetousness of the spiritual and/or temporal possessions or qualities possessed by another person. If the perception is not either sublimated,
“…or assuaged by the doing of some injury to the object of the feeling, the result is a persistent mental condition, stemming from the repression of emotions that are not acceptable when openly expressed. The result is hatred and the impulse to spite and to say things that detract from the other’s worth.” (p. 51)
Resentment and envy have their origin in the tendency to make comparisons between the attributes of another and one’s own attributes such as wealth, popularity, appearance, intelligence, success, personality, position, gender (straight male, straight female), children, and friends. Any perceived superior difference is enough to set the pathology in motion. Thus resentment and envy whispers continually:
“I can forgive everything, but not that you are – that you are what you are – that I am not what you are – indeed that I am not you.” (Envy: A Theory of Social Behavior, Helmut Schoeck, ibid, Schlossberg, p. 52, emphasis added)
The envied other’s very existence is a searing reproach,
“When heaven with such parts blest him, have I not reason to detest him?” is a genuine and natural expression of the human mind. The man who writes as we cannot write, who speaks as we cannot speak, labors as we cannot labor, thrives as we cannot thrive, has accumulated on his person all the offenses of which man can be guilty. Down with him! Why cumbereth he the ground?” (Schoeck)
Because ancient pagans and their modern counterparts–evolutionary materialists and New Age occult pantheists—mistakenly believe envy exists outside of themselves they try to ward off the Evil Eye via amulets, curses, worry beads, gnostic formulas and various ways of politically correct vengeance (punishment) such as shunning or imprisonment for ‘hate-crimes’ and ‘racism,’ or vengeful appeasement tactics such as scapegoating and crucifying.
Envy, however, can never be appeased. Even after envy has murdered the human object of its Evil Eye, as with Cain’s murder of his brother, envy will settle upon another object or person, and another, and another, and so on endlessly.
Though early Christians also dreaded the Evil Eye, they knew its cause and preached and taught against it, thereby making the individual personally responsible for exercising self-control over their envy and other disordered passions. Envy, and all other sins, were to be contained within the individual through moral self-discipline. This way society at large did not have to live in fear and dread of envy and vengeance and find it necessary to twist itself into painful contortions in hope of appeasing the unappeasable Evil Eye.
Today, as Carlson said, the Democratic Party is the party of weirdness, human-hating, envy, resentment, and bitterness. Everything and everyone (Trump, the middle class, the America. of the founding generation, and so on) it hates, envies, and resents and feels driven to destroy.
Additionally, increasing numbers of morally relativist Americans at every level of society, on both left and right, Christian and non-Christian, are controlled by inflated pride and other passions such as selfishness, narcissism, resentment and envy unfettered from the restraint of God, Truth and Moral Law. Adding to the problem are culturally relevant church models attended by thousands of Americans that cater to self-indulgent pride and emotional feel-goodism. (2 Tim. 4: 1-220) .
Describe pride, resentment, envy and hatred as spiritual warfare, psy-ops, or gaslighting, it is all of the same rottenness–man’s fallen condition unfettered God the Father, Moral Law, and Truth.
In his 1974 essay, “Repentance and Self-Limitation in the Life of Nations,” repentant ex-atheist Alexander Solzhenitsyn warns that the only way out for an idolatrous, ressentiment-filled people is repentance,
“…and the search for our own errors and sins. We must stop blaming everyone else (and) claiming that we alone are in the right. Repentance is the first bit of firm ground underfoot, the only one from which we can go forward not to fresh hatreds but to concord. Repentance is the only starting ground for spiritual growth. “
Having begun the work of repentance, we will then be able to carry our Christ’s command to,
“Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. (Matthew 5:44-45)”

The only thing Truth has going for Him in this world is us.
The restoration of Truth = Reality in the hearts and minds of men is now totally dependent upon you and me; if we don't do it, it won't get done.
Pray for a strategic alliance between President Trump and excommunicated Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano against the common conspiratorial criminality in the American and Catholic political parties.

Envy would certainly explain why poor people support Marxism. But how do you explain the wealthy, like executives, doctors and lawyers, who support Marxism?
I think the widespread support for Marxism could result from a post-Christian mindset. People have a vague idea of charity, but they don't experience it.
And modern people don't really understand charity either.

"Envy would certainly explain why poor people support Marxism. But how do you explain the wealthy, like executives, doctors and lawyers, who support Marxism?"
From the pre flood world to our own, men have desired to be as gods.
So the short answer to your question is that at the level of the demigods (men playing at being gods), the pride, envy, hatred, and resentment is inflated monstrously. Thus their barely leashed hatred, resentment, envy, and murderous feelings toward each other is only surpassed by that of the fallen Powers and Satan who rule over them.
It is this way throughout India. It was that way in the Soviet Union. It is that way here in the USA. And it is definitely that way at global levels.

I forgot to add that the hatred, resentment, envy, and vengeance seeking of America's Demi-gods is a burning Directed Energy Weapon solely focused on Trump. It is they who wear Sauron's Ring of Power and how dare the thief Trump 'steal' their Precious?!?
