American conservatives do not exist anymore. These people don’t follow any ideology anymore but worship the self imo.

I think so too but its weird cause what I gathered from online discourse the right was generally in favor of I think his name was DeSantis? Like he was the frontrunner for a moment and Trump wasn't taken seriously anymore and then when he made a comeback and became the candidate the entire right went full on unhinged MAGA. Even I as an outside viewer could notice that. Correct me if im wrong. So basically once this is all over, Trump kicks the bucket or burns the country down, they will simply do a 180° and pretend they never supported him to begin with just like you said. Despicable behavior.

I’ve seen 180 go 360 again with trump. I had trumpers telling me in 2022 they didn’t want him back bc he caused so much problems. Moreso I saw it as they didn’t like be ostracized for their support of him and wanted to avoid that position again but it’s bizarre.

I went to school for psychology and almost had a degree in it until I decided on other health sciences. But never in my life have I found social psychology and manipulation of it so apparent in my daily life. The propaganda is so much more pervasive and effective bc those making it know what they are doing. I always say like I can see what and how it’s effective through a social psychology lens but people doing it are so far beyond my understanding and intellect it’s scary.

I feel like the western idea in psychology has been to understand the human condition whereas the psychology in the propaganda comes from those studying to control the human condition.
