I honestly think their marriage was in shambles and he's glad he doesn't have to deal with it. That's the only way this makes sense.
That or he needs his MAGA social circle so can't show he's abandoning their cause.
We are under a dictatorship. Think theough the possible outcomes
Is he continues supporting Trump, he may get an exemption as a reward for his continued support despite a large news story developing
If he speaks out against Trump's policies, he's effectively guaranteed not to get an exemption. Anti-Trump citizens are freqently attacked. They may come up with arbitrary crimes to charge him with, similar to Abrigio Garcia His own citizenship may be in jeopardy, as Trump has stated he may strip citizenship from those he disagrees with
For him personally, it's an obvious choice: Publicly support Trump, as it maximizes your personal gains
Dont overlook the simple explanation that it's a legitimate honest to god cult. Not an iota less cultish than Jonestown. The antivaxxers who lost a 6yo daughter felt no remorse either and did not change their minds on vaccines. These kinds of people have been willingly programmed into a nationwide cult. Idk what reconstruction will look like but unless it makes Sherman blush, there's no saving this country.
TBH even most real cults aren't so cartoonishly evil to get you to sacrifice your wife.
Bible cults most certainly are, and the beliefs of the family that lost their child to measles is clearly one of those. They constantly make their followers do things against their self interest: tithing, eschewing modernity, having dozens of kids, mass suicides in the extreme cases.
That actually is a good explanation which also explains how ICE found out about her.
