Why do the Republicans and conservatives always act like two things are true:
That, 1) Their ideas are so common sense and just so very overwhelmingly popular with the American people while 2) Try to do speed-runs every time they get any power so they can ram through incredibly unpopular things before anyone can push back while doing everything possible to suppress free and fair elections?
I mean, why the rush to get Donvict's image and name on so much shit ASAP? Same for implementing Project 2025? If these were so popular, they'd have all the time in the world to do these things?
Their voters are the former, the politicians are the latter. It's a sick cycle of enabler abuse by authoritarian followers and cluster B sickos
Plus it is the Russian playbook, that Russia does on their own people, that they used for decades on USA rural people. People dont really think about it but rural people basically got mindfucked due to lack of socializing with others outside of town due to far proximity, and being setup to see others as enemies, even each other. To keep them all separated then they made MAGA as the thing to unite all of rural Americans. Making it a "family" that is "safe to be part of together"
Thats what most dont get about why MAGA is how it is currently
Weaponized tribalism
