You know the answer to that, and you also know that the answer does not matter. MAGA isn’t a political movement that gains or loses people’s support depending on the outcomes of its actions. It’s a cult, built around absolute faith in the leader and its ideology, and as such, it’s insulated from reality. Cults have a long history of explaining away the suffering they cause to their own members: The other side is pure evil, so whatever this is, the other side is worse. You deserve it. You’ve been a terrible person, and your suffering is your repentance. It’s a test of your faith. Doubts are a sign of you being weak. You need to hold out just a little longer. Paradise is just around the corner. (Of course, dates and goal posts constantly shift into the future…)
