    they have no fixed beliefs except that:

    1. there should be a tyrant atop a hierarchical society

    2. they’re not at the bottom

    Everything else is window dressing and mind games

      Seems like

      1. The Left is evil

      Is core to their system, but I can see it folded into (2) or arguably part of the mind games.

        This is the actual answer. Your average Maga doesn’t care about tyranny or any of that. It’s a little bit of racism and a whole lot of being constantly told that the left is evil and dramatic. The Left is a nebulous satanic enemy that Fox News and related entities demonize constantly and that is what is actually preventing progress from being made. It doesn’t matter what is actually being said, if it comes from The Left then it is the words of Satan, and if it comes from The Right then it is good and holy.

    It never had anything to do with children, or pizza places. It was about giving stupid people an excuse to support them.

    Uhh…they are complaining tho?

    I’ve recently talked to multiple people who used to be huge trump stans that have recently come to me all “fuck him he lied blah blah epstein” and I’m just like “yeah welcome to the club, I been told ya glad you finally see it my way.” He’s definitely losing supporters over it (and good imo).

      Approval rate between Republicans is still over 90%, they might be complaining, but most of them would still vote for him if there was an election tomorrow because, somehow, “Democrats are worse”.

        I mean yeah basically, but still they are vocal about being “betrayed” if you actually talk to one. (And of course not all but then again some were still taken in by Jim Jones untill the bitter Flavor-Aid, and some had to drink it at gunpoint. The audio is chilling but my point is cults gonna cult.)

        And to be fair, it’s much easier to fool someone than to convince them they’ve been fooled, so, “good” and stuff I’m glad for anyone who finally sees. Of course they aren’t going to go from “I love him” to pitchforks and torches in a short time but any crack in the veneer is good here.

      Unfortunately your anecdotal evidence is not indicative of what is actually happening. Almost all Trump cultists are still on board and lost interest in Epstein the moment they realised it was not so much about the Democrats as it was about Trump.

    Their “beliefs” lack integrity. All they really want is an excuse to persecute those with whom they disagree.

    Explained.

    The cult thinks their guy is on the “good guy” side no matter what, just because their guy is on their “team”. There isn’t critical thinking involved here, and hypocracy is to them, just “owning the libs”.

    Let’s just get rid of anyone who forces his existence and perveted ways in/to another person. Make the punishment eternal as far as human sentences go. Multiply a hundred when minors are involved. Multiply a thousand when someone makes an effort to normalize or decriminalize (both literally or by using money/power) this for the rest of soul ruiners.

    I don’t care what happens, how many different ideologies I experience or encounter. Its not property. Its not wealth. Its not system. This is a hard line. If anyone does this, you go. I don’t care about culture, society, zeitgeist. As long as I live, if anyone disagrees you are my enemy.

    I’m not saying it won’t happen but what evidence is there that Trump will pardon Maxwell?

      She’s already gotten some kind of deal, with first being moved to a different prison and then granted work release. As a convicted sex trafficker. He doesn’t even have to pardon her, it’s already fucked and corrupt.

    Soon, Epstein will just be an AI creation and Trump never seen him or met him. All made up by AI. His stupid ass followers will lap it up.

    This is literally fake news.

        Pretty sure their fan base also hates it. He was elected on an anti pedo and Epstein file punishing Basis.

          No they don’t. They literally buy into whatever bullshit the fat orange man slings. If you’re not paying attention just be quiet.
