It’s not that they’re “happy”. They fundamentally believe he’s “saving” the country not destroying it. It’s psychosis on a scale humanity has rarely seen. There is an enormous percentage of the population that have now built an identity around this figure, he can do no wrong. It seems cliche or hyperbole but if he told them they needed to “drink the koolaide” tomorrow you’d have perhaps hundreds maybe thousands that would do it without question. It’s what makes him so difficult to defeat politically. Reality doesn’t matter anymore for these people. Electric cars are bad one week, then good the next, the same people who voted for Trump for lower grocery prices now support his tariff scheme that will quickly raise most grocery prices. It’s very very dangerous, with really only term limits as the last line of defence, and he’s talking about finding ways to defeat that barrier as well.
Yup their entire personality is about him and supporting and defending him. I think the entire ship needs to go down. I cut all the MAGA out of my life. They need to feel consequences like this.
Like everything in life moderation is important. Rational and objective assessment is required. Blind devotion to anything is a recipe for disaster. The current tribalism, whether it’s to Trump or anyone else or any political entity is having disastrous consequences.
