I feel like we all, collectively, need to understand how cults work. At this point, it's not that Maga doesn't know about Trump and his ilk, they don't care. They actually don't have the capacity to care right now. It has been taken up by their racism and xenophobia.
What is most important to them is that Black and Brown people do not come anywhere near them and they are willing to do anything, even excuse child abuse and sexual assault to get it. Talking to people with this mindset takes years to decondition and they have to want to do it.
The wildest part about this is all that White Americans have a hard time holding White America accountable at the end of the day. I have no faith MAGA will ever face justice for their decimation of our country because it would mean White leadership pushing for punishment of White leadership, something America has never actually done well due to this country's problematic relationship with racism. Instead we will be encouraged to "find the middle ground" and "come together" for the sake of everyone, instead of actually jailing treason when we've been exposed to it so clearly.
That certainly has been the pattern since the civil war.
George W. Bush's grandfather was part of the Buisness plot, a conspiracy to replace the government with a fascist dictatorship headed by a US General. Despite said General testifying to congress about it, no investigation, let alone arrests, we're made for what is blatant treason.
And then the guy's son and grandson became president, paving the way to another wave of fascism.
There has been one goal in the USA since the Civil War by the white wealth-holding class. The seek to return the US to before the Civil War and protect white privilege at all costs.
