MAGA claims to have the same distain for the “elite class”, but always makes a special carve-out just for Trump and his loyalists. I don’t get it.
Political tribalism with a heaping spoonful of introspection avoidance.
It doesn’t matter to them if the other team gets hurt. As far as MAGA is concerned, liberals and progressives (“the Dems”) had it coming and deserve the consequences. But, if their own team gets hurt, that’s simply unacceptable because they are the good guys.
That’s why they’ll look the other way if Republicans, MAGA, QAnons, or Trump supporters are caught out as pedos, extremists, rapists, or criminals. It’s an uncomfortable truth that doesn’t align with their reality. They would have to accept that they’re wrong, so they deflect and distract not to convince others but to convince themselves and protect their egos.
they also have different disdain than democrats, they hate them because they arnt as richa s they are, and would love to be someday. they see it that way.
