    I’m so sick of the establishment left media repeatedly being like “MAGA supporters are finally turning on Trump” - they’re not!

    It’s wishful thinking, go to their spaces you’ll see how they justify their positions to each other and just keep manufacturing reasons as to why it all lines up with their world view.

    The Daily Beast is a sensationalist rag, it shouldn’t be allowed as a source here.

    Checked in on my MAGA relatives Facebook and they are just fine with rationalizing that the war is necessary because some Iranians treated some Americans bad at some point in the past.

    We should be clear: They weren’t really anti-war. What they were was stupid enough to believe Trump.

      It’s the RWA (Right Wing Authoritarian) mindset.

      I think every American should be required to read Bob Altemeyer’s The Authoritarians in school.

      But asking our public schools, especially while under the influence of the unhinged right wing and the reactionary centrists, to give citizens a real education is probably asking a lot.
