I can think of a few times, yeah, and they have always done the mental gymnastics to justify it to themselves. One of them got fucked hard by the Trump “tax cuts” and yelled that he wanted Obama back (just about gave the other MAGAs at work a panic attack), but remained an ardent MAGA. It always boils down to something like “Benevolent Dear Leader would stomp on me on purpose. Oh, well, these things will happen, but it’ll be worth it in the long run”.
I think true, diehard MAGA people aren’t as common as it seems. Once they start starving, a majority of them will likely wake up to the fact that at least Musk is the one hurting them (and he’s really the one causing the damage).
They will keep voting red, but I don’t think the loyalty will last when things get hard for them, and they’ll feel it quickly since they’re the demographic that’ll be hit the hardest.
Have the Magas in your life been greatly personally affected by his policies yet?
