Gonna keep this short and straight to the point, we all know how they act.
With trump siding with the Tech Bros Billionaires on immigration, even after his most die hard supporters were against it. I see several MAGAS just falling in line with Elon calling them stupid and that’s why we need more educated and qualified people to take these better jobs (whilst we’re on the cusp of deleting the Department of Education).
Anyone with functions eyes and ears can tell you they’ve been played, but they’re still deeply loyal to trump even though he back tracking on one of his biggest (and few) positions. Without mass deportations or hawkish immigration laws. What the hell does trump even offer to these people other than the occasional dog whistles they love?
People tend to like easily digestible, one-dimensional solutions as they are easy to understand. These don’t exist in reality, but are offered by conservatives so it is quite compelling.
Most conservatives I know, aren’t there because of racism (a couple yes are like that) but more because they don’t like that life and people fall on spectrums. They prefer it be black and white, yes or no, all or nothing. That’s why they cling to the ideas of gender norms, absolute rights and wrongs, in groups and out groups, etc. And those that stand to win by dividing the populace are peddling to this desire for simple solutions to complex problems.
So when faced with real life and its consequences, it is more comfortable to keep believing it and just explain away the minor discrepancies (surely they will keep the good immigrants I know, my abortion would be a moral abortion, etc.)
