I will never believe three whole thing (Trump) didn’t start out as a joke like Boaty McBoatface, which was so preposterous, so bonkers that it went viral and a bunch of out of touch idiots didn’t get the humor and took out all as a serious movement and then made it one. I think it’s mass delusion.
It was a coordinated sci ops. The_donald popped up practically overnight and pushed its way to the top of Reddit as a “joke” subreddit and it gradually got worse from there.
That ignores people’s very real anxiety over wage stagnation, inflation on food and housing, and a health care system that is functionally broken. Normally we would just start a war somewhere and direct that energy towards brown people halfway around the world. With no war, it’s being directed at ‘others’ domestically.
The culture wars are an outward expression of the anxiety and fear they live with because their economic destiny has been derailed and the value of their labor has been stolen from them. They’re lashing out because they’re unhappy and they’re unhappy because they’ve been screwed. They’re just too indoctrinated to see that we have all been screwed together.
Trump boot lickers really want a monarch
They don’t even make a secret of it. r/The_Donald called him “God emperor” all the time. And they weren’t joking even if they claimed they were.

Dipshits have been worshipping Trump as a business genius for decades.

They’re afraid and ignorant. They feel like society is circling the drain, and they think an authoritarian is the solution.
Ironically, society is circling the drain because US capitalism is an authoritarianly structured system.

None of these issues matter to MAGA. It’s all about culture wars.

At the end of the day, though, they don’t mind getting screwed as long as they can see that people they hate are getting screwed too.
A subset are also salivating for a leader that will make the lives of brown people harder
That’s because they can’t rule by consensus
