I just came across this in a discussion and thought it summed up MAGA rather well. Del Glasz MAGA'S denial of reality. After 8 years of interaction with MAGA, it is clear to me that it is the case. It's why they support a convicted felon, adjudicated sexual abuser, and adjudicated fraudster, that came to power by starting the birther movement when we elected our first black president. Facts don't matter to MAGA. Trump feeds his base lies. They use those lies as a permission structure (cover) to support him while hiding their racism, bigotry, homophobia, and transphobia. They can hide behind Trump. Out from the shadows. That's why "Haitians were eating pets" when they weren't ... or black, brown, or the disabled may have caused a tragic plane crash. That's why they won't take 2 minutes to do research or totally deny reality. They NEED to maintain that relationship with Trump. They aren't fooling anyone like they did in his first term. Don't argue facts with MAGA (that they can look up in 2 minutes). Ask yourself why they accept lies (that can be looked up in 2 minutes).
