No. MAGA knows Trump sucks. They just hope he sucks more for lgbtq, brown people, and the “poor”. Capitalism is all about power. As long as you have more power than another demographic everything will be fine.
Quite possible that they adjust their behaviour in that direction to justify never admitting being wrong
MAGA would let Trump shit in their mouth if it meant a ‘librul’ had to smell it.
They don’t give a shit about anything other than harming outgroups - they will, as they have repeatedly, throw throw themselves on the sword if doing so helps them accomplish evil shit.
For my local family, the observation is they support it because they want harm for other citizens. They hate each other so much that they would as soon cut their own noses off to spite their face.
Wait until they realise that admitting they are wrong is actually virtuous
Then they will all do it for selfish reasons
When have they cared about being virtuous? As far as I know, the main point of maga is mostly being vitriolious.
They are not using virtue as a goal to aspire to, but as an excuse to do vile shit and be racist dickbags.
I’m not sure they will admit they were wrong. People are more likely to deny they were ever supporters in the first place and destroy the proof.
One example is Charles Sherrill - he was an American aristocrat & politician in the 1930s. He had great respect for Hitler and was very much in favour of the US attending the Berlin olympics. Because he died in 1936, his journals remain behind as one of few examples of the rich class singing Hitler’s praises, and it’s clear that he wasn’t alone. However, anyone who lived long enough to see WWII and that their horse wasn’t going to win would have destroyed these documents and pretend they were just going along with things for social reasons even though they didn’t support them in their heart.
Too much self awareness going on here.
sigh I’m so sick of having to AInvestigate every goddamn post nowadays. (This one is even signed!)
So don’t?
I don’t want to unwittingly help facilitate the AI take-over of real content by upvoting it.
This is me. I am the blurry cow. And I hate it.
If you can’t tell, then what difference would there be if you were never suspicious?
That’s exactly the problem. I don’t want reality to be replaced by an AI-generated fiction without my even realizing it.
