I will never believe the whole thing (Trump) didn’t start out as a joke like Boaty McBoatface, which was so preposterous, so bonkers that it went viral and a bunch of out of touch idiots didn’t get the humor and took out all as a serious movement and then made it one. I think it’s mass delusion.
It was a coordinated sci ops. The_donald popped up practically overnight and pushed its way to the top of Reddit as a “joke” subreddit and it gradually got worse from there.
That ignores people’s very real anxiety over wage stagnation, inflation on food and housing, and a health care system that is functionally broken. Normally we would just start a war somewhere and direct that energy towards brown people halfway around the world. With no war, it’s being directed at ‘others’ domestically.
The culture wars are an outward expression of the anxiety and fear they live with because their economic destiny has been derailed and the value of their labor has been stolen from them. They’re lashing out because they’re unhappy and they’re unhappy because they’ve been screwed. They’re just too indoctrinated to see that we have all been screwed together.
Trump boot lickers really want a monarch
They don’t even make a secret of it. r/The_Donald called him “God emperor” all the time. And they weren’t joking even if they claimed they were.

Dipshits have been worshipping Trump as a business genius for decades.
I might have believed before he began loudly proclaiming what a giant moron and narcissist he is for the last decade.

Coordinated science operations are well above anything that the_dipshit could put together
They’re afraid and ignorant. They feel like society is circling the drain, and they think an authoritarian is the solution.
Ironically, society is circling the drain because US capitalism is an authoritarianly structured system.
Agreed, but don’t discount the role of religion in that equation, either.

None of these issues matter to MAGA. It’s all about culture wars.

That’s because they can’t rule by consensus
