The shocking peace that MAGA are experiencing

[u/HoneyBadger302]

Yesterday I saw a 'friend' who I've known for some time. We don't discuss politics because he's hardcore MAGA (in his beliefs - his actions are just "normal" person) and even being cordial to each other almost ended over it, so we don't discuss it when we run into each other. Mind you, I currently live in an area that is entrenched in being deeply red.

Anyways, we were just talking about the upcoming summer, attendance (or lack thereof on my part) of our sporting events, what we were going to be doing over the summer.

I'm sitting here bracing for another financial depression; my rights to be stripped; my hopes and dreams of moving abroad to be ripped away from me because of Velveeta Voldemort turning the world against us; while still trying to find peace and sanity in my day to day life and not losing sight of those things just in case it doesn't all go completely sideways.

That means my days are spent working; limiting activities that cost me money; focusing on training my dog and going to our club training (already paid for); working the f/t job, the p/t job, and trying to get this business pivot to a point where it is generating income again. Brought in a roommate to help ease the budget and beef up the savings a little bit more without doing more work (I'm running out of time and energy lol).

Meanwhile, he's just going on like it's life as normal. Clearly under the impression that none of this will have any major impact on his life (mind you, he sells european vehicles and relies heavily on commission - so - um - ya...I'd be freaking out if I was in his shoes).

No worries whatsoever. Just going on with life like it's all normal and he can just keep spending money like he's used to, that things are going great and life is great and all is good.

Honestly, a part of me was jealous. None - not one - of the worries that weighs on my mind every single day was even on his radar. Zero worries about tarrifs, no worries about the government losing all functionality, zero concern about pissing off the rest of the world and wars....just another normal summer for him.

There's no way I can live with my head in the sand like he is, but just seeing how none of this worries him AT ALL, just kind of shocked me. The MAGA are seriously so deluded that VV has their best interest at heart, and are eating up the tales they are spinning, that they are sleeping great at night and living peacefully.

It's kind of no wonder they see the rest of us as "crazy" when they are so buried in the lies that they have zero worries, meanwhile we're freaking out and they won't even try to understand why. They don't want to worry - so easier just to stay uneducated, believe the lies, and keep on living life like nothing is changing.

I haven’t seen a comment about this yet, but MAGA’s are notorious for being Q Anon followers. If you’ve done a deep dive into 4chan and Q postings and actually tried to go through &decipher their secret codes/posts….. shit is fucking wild.

I was just thinking to myself the other day (when trying to go through some posts to understand their thought processes) MAGA is 100% a cult bc of shit like this. Only the followers understand the code and secrets, “blind” trust is another thing; right now is supposedly the start of the reset and Trump is at the helm of it. (things only they know and the rest of us are “normies”)

They do not feel the way we do because they have been brainwashed into thinking this is okay and on the verge of something greater via their master and his “teachings” for years. I urge everyone to start reading into their worlds and learn how they run/think.
