Have people actually heard folks in their lives say this? Where I am, best case scenario is that they are ignorant to all that's happening. But more often they are enjoying it.

Oh I definitely have. I usually follow up with "Would you vote for him again?"

100% of the time they say yes.

These people are a cult

It's important to realize that in a cult, whether it be a personality cult or religious, the imaginary caricature that they worship has little to do with why they are in it; it's all about ego washing and pandering to themselves, sometimes in a sunk cost fallacy but plenty of times just simply because they've developed a dependency for the illusion to be there, justifying any deviations in reality as just being a deviation of their illusion which should remain forever pristine lest they risk their ego collapsing along with it.

I doubt it. I talk with MAGAts at work ... they are happy that ICE is getting the illegals out.

That's it. That is all they really care about. They think the economy is fine. They want the Epstein files released so the Clintons (both Hillary and Bill apparently) will go to jail. If Trump is in the files it is of course a setup. Never ever underestimate how snowed and stupid MAGA members are.

That's probably because they're not impacted.

The ones reconsidering their votes are the ones that can't afford their bills because their business was hurt by tariffs and the ones losing neighbors that they thought would be safe because they were "the good ones".

I actually have. My mother in law fell for the con hook, line, and sinker. Repeating Sinclair network talking points and dismissing verifiable evidence that goes against her worldview.

Her main thing was "there's men in women's sports!!1!" Which ....ya know, is not an actual issue like the Commander in Chief blatantly ignoring the law, raping people*, and blackmailing other officials.

*There is no evidence publicly available that he is currently raping people but he has a long history of it and there's no evidence he's stopped.

When you're a star, they let you. Ipso facto, not rape.

[–] DokPsy@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

A child cannot consent so.....

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

No, you see, they let you

Its only the ones that get fucked over, people that had their immigrant spouses taken away by ice, etc.

I have an American relative who's super MAGA and on the day they invaded Iran he just posted "I voted for this."
