    My guess is that certain idolizers of orange saw the blatant oligarchical cabinet choices, particularly with Elmo and hit some heavy cognitive dissonance. The truck symbolism is right there.

    Most people can clearly see he’s always been pro-corporate and fuck-you-working class.

    The cognitive dissonance from anyone who’s been outright worshipping him and has opened their eyes must be straight up torture.

    Even magatts are operating on the following when it comes to their political consent: “what leadership will cause the most opportunity for peace for me and my loved ones”

        Maggat types have been noted as having a higher proclivity towards in-group thinking, so, to your point, the methods for obtaining peace can be twisted into believing that the out group is the root of the problem.

        Think of them as fellow working class with a slight (at times severe) gullability disability if that helps. One class. Working class.
