    How the fuck can they keep destroying relationships with their friends and still keep on going? Shouldn’t they have enough opposition by now to end this?

        Agreed. Whenever I hear of the latest internal MAGA feud (fElon, now Faux) it always brings to mind the old-school “professional” wrestling world. 100% scripted and acted-out. It gives the deplorables a “team” to identify with and emotionally bind to (pick a side, doesn’t really matter which) so they can stomp and fume and indulge in fantasy violence while society and life continue to grind them down into dirt, pockets picked.

      Because its a cult that even trump doesn’t control.

      It comes up rarely for obvious reasons, but back during his first (ugh) term, he said something like “I like vaccines” and got straight up booed by the crowd. And that wasn’t the only case where he had to rapidly backpedal to what the magats want to hear. trump is a symptom of a much greater evil.

      So when fox news goes against trump? They are now the enemy and we were always at war with both Eastasia and fox news. And when they play the shows he likes? Now they are the best network in the world again. But there is no world where they actually sway the magats.

      So that is why basically everyone bends over backwards to appease him and, by association, the magats. Because they have no other choice than… actually trying to fight the power.
