They literally don’t care. For them, support of any political movement is valid because they’re not falling back on fundamental beliefs; it’s all vibes. And because they’re disconnected from the reality of the situation, their beliefs are malleable in ways that don’t make sense to people connected to reality. In the same way that people who mainline Fox News spout off a bunch of drivel that has no real connection to what’s actually happening. This is why MAGA seems like a cult, being a member fundamentally means a belief in a different reality.

If you bring up his past support for Trump, Joe will just say he supported him partially at the time but eventually he stopped, and his support was always tepid. He’ll claim he aligns more with Bernie even though Bernie and Trump couldn’t be further from each other politically. It makes no fundamental sense but that’s kind of the point.

This is why Trump won’t be the end of this mess. There will be a small subset of Trump supporters who see Trump’s betrayal and treason for what it is. The majority will be more than willing to be led down the same path again.

It's easy to be stupid and believe a lot of conflicting info because you understand none of it.

Even those who "see the betrayal and treason" will be more concerned he didn't "MAGA" than with the fact they voted for a fucking stupidass conman three fucking times. Without wrestling with their own stupidity, they're just gonna fall for the next one. I'm over pretending there's any decency in being nice to these fuckheads. Stupid is as stupid does, and holy fuck how could you vote for Trump three fucking times. The first time was already abysmally stupid. Second time was fucked. Third time? Dumbest thing anyone has ever did.
