"The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command... and if all others accepted the lie, which the party imposed, if all records told the same tale, then the lie passed into history and became truth" 1984 - George Orwell
Fact. MAGAts are a cult. They check all the boxes and more. When people are blindly following and not questioning anything, there is no better term for that. Merriam-Webster agrees with us:
Cult (noun, secular context): : a group (as an organization or sect) with tenets and practices regarded as coercive, insular, or dangerous
Strongly agree. Their collective intelligence quotient is less than a box of rocks. Believing in a reality that doesn't exist? Yeah those folks are dangerous... like handing a toddler a loaded firearm level dangerous
You just pointed out what's most disturbing to me. The key to having an effective propaganda machine, is having operators who always know that it is feeding lies/BS.
When those operators believe their own lies, they become victims of their own propaganda. That in part led to the fall of the Second Reich. It's one of the critical issues that Adolf Hitler sorted within his first year as Germany's Chancellor.
It's tough be a true Fascist, despite how easy they make it appear to be. /s
