    Is MAGA buying this?

    I mean, I’m sure plenty are, but what about the ones who were up in arms a few weeks ago when he said the files wouldn’t be released? Have they all shut up and gotten back in the clown car?

      Is MAGA buying this?

      Yes, completely. He’s going to walk and people in power will use the legal system to put down any pushback.

      All of this was obvious from the get-go. He was running to keep himself out of prison and to enrich himself. The country fell for it, and we have no idea how bad it’s going to get.

      As always, I hope I am completely insane and a stark raving conspiracist.

      They’ve been manipulated and have allowed it to be made a part of their core identity - so yes, from sunk cost fallacy, to stockholm syndrome, to abusive relationship, to personality cult, to just plain ignorance and proud of it, profiled by Big Data and fed and cordoned off to their particular slaughterhouse of a social network bubble, they will be increasingly easy to manipulate the more distance there is between reality and their perception of it.

        Wait… “Stockholm syndrome” was really just caused by the fact that the criminals were more empathic to the hostages than the cops themselves. There was no special psychological phenomenon involved.

        Otherwise, I agree with your comment!

      As someone who is in a Discord with some MAGA tards … Yes, yes they are. They’re cucked so hard by Trump it’s sad.
