Nearly 600,000 Trump supporters paid deposits for a gold smartphone that remains undelivered, sparking outrage and calls for investigation into Trump Mobile's practices.
600,000 people sent in $100 deposits for this thing—!😧 (Dumbass is laughing all the way to the bank. )
I always wonder what they think the GOP has given them. Like the dems blow but at least they got stuff like gay marriage and the ACA through. Is there literally one thing the GOP has done since the last shitty actor we elected that wasn’t just funneling money to the rich?
You know the answer to that, and you also know that the answer does not matter. MAGA isn’t a political movement that gains or loses people’s support depending on the outcomes of its actions. It’s a cult, built around absolute faith in the leader and its ideology, and as such, it’s insulated from reality. Cults have a long history of explaining away the suffering they cause to their own members:
The other side is pure evil, so whatever this is, the other side is worse.
You deserve it. You’ve been a terrible person, and your suffering is your repentance.
It’s a test of your faith. Doubts are a sign of you being weak.
You need to hold out just a little longer. Paradise is just around the corner. (Of course, dates and goal posts constantly shift into the future…)
Just think about the suffering any past cult has managed to have people endure or inflict on others (often their own kids). Then you know no matter how much MAGAs will suffer from their own political choices, it’s not going to change their minds en masse.
MAGA isn’t a political movement that gains or loses people’s support depending on the outcomes of its actions.
I don’t think it’s limited to MAGA. I don’t think any GOP voter in the last 50 years has ever gotten anything from their party, and they still probably never changed their minds.
How many times do they need to be grifted for them to learn?
At least once more. As always.
