No, this is real.
Roughly 1/4 to 1/3 of this country is in a goofy as fuck, anti-reality, violent and dangerous death cult, called MAGA.
You know how like in Japan or SK, large wealthy cults have an outsized impact on politics, scandals when it turns out a PM or whoever got a bunch of money from one?
We elected our cult leader president.
Thats... thats roughly the framing you need, for this to maybe actually make sense in your brain, as anything other than the worlds grandest reality TV show.
Yougov recently did a poll.
On average, 66% of Americans think they could win a fight, an actual fist fight, with Donald Trump.
10% thought they'd lose, 24% unsure.
Now break it down by party.
Democrats:
75% would win, 5% would lose, 20% unsure.
Republicans:
39% would win, 33% would lose, 28% unsure.
...
So thats's 25% of Dems don't think they're certain to win, vs 61% of Reps don't think they're certain to win...
... a fight against an obese and literally demented 79 year old with bone spurs, who wears diapers, and is often seen nodding off during meetings.
You really can only explain something like this by framing the hardcore MAGA folks as delusional, mentally impaired cult members.
They have Trump Derangement Syndrome, but its the opposite of what they think it is... its North Korea levels of Dear Leader god-king worship.
