For instance, I have an aunt who is definitely MAGA, and is flirting with Q-Anon ideas. However, she has pretty good views on the environment and animal rights. For instance, after travelling to Ecuador, she donates to some Ecuadorian land trust run by locals. However, if you start talking to her about the border or gender, she goes full Orbán.

Now he advocates for universal healthcare, free public college, paid family leave, environmental protections, erasure of lgbt, indigenous that have been "westernized" losing their rights and status, as well as women not being allowed to divorce.

Sounds like he likes all the social programs that will benefit him, but not the ones that won’t.

Pretty much. It's resonated with enough like-minded right-wingers to give him a seat in congress.
