I think the idea is people are stupid enough to think that if somehow it's proven that Trump did even more awful things his followers would wake up and realize that he is awful, I just don't see that happening.
On Reddit, for the last couple of months, every thread about the GOP's fascism has highly upvoted comments implying that the fascism is a distraction from the Epstein files; as though the fascist dictatorship wasn't the plan the entire fucking time.
Liberals continuing to display why the USA is a failed state.
It's sad. I even see it here in other posts. People don't want to admit the government they have placed their trust in keeping public order never intended to protect their interests. The order it was protecting wasn't what they thought it was.
This was the inevitable conclusion of the American capitalist-imperialist experiment.
They're too far in. As long as they still get something out of it, they will continue support and protect their pedophile.
I personally think people are in denial about how fucked things are. They're focusing on inane shit that will lead nowhere because it's all their brains are trained to handle. Screw Trump followers waking up, liberals haven't even woken up to liberalism being destroyed right in front of them.
So the problem with this line of thinking is seeing it as binary. What actually happens in cases of cults is that some split off, and the remainder are more fanatic than ever. For examples, see the Great Disappointment of the Adventists, or 1975 predictions with Jehovah's Witnesses.
The trouble that MAGA has is that it doesn't take many to split off before they're no longer a meaningful political force. Over the last six months, both Democrats and Republicans have been getting phone calls of death threats if they don't do everything Trump wants. Members of congress have made certain decisions because of this. That is going away.
