      Hypocrisy is lost on MAGA. They believe it’s Trump versus Satan, that anyone not them is pure evil by fiat, and therefore any action of their own is justified, even when it is violent or heinous.

      And because their peerless leader is pure good by fiat, his own behaviors that are immoral or incompetent are disregarded as beyond the need for explanation.

      This is common in cults of personality. It’s also super fragile if the leader dies without major effort to define an heir in advance.

        I forget the conversation that turned into an argument and the republican screaming at the democrat about trump derangement syndrome, while the democrat was talking real shit that mattered and was basically pointing out the flaws in which the republicans don’t see with their handling of I think it was either Gaza or the current middle eastern conflict something though and it blew my mind. It made me go you gotta be fucking with me how there’s real shit that needs to be talked about and discussed in a civil manner and because one side needs to have a perception of being correct it just turned into an absolute shit show.

        I immediately said afterwards while shaking my head in a what the fuck did I just see manner and did a long deep sigh and said, “Thank goodness I stopped caring about politics.”
