    And there it is. In my own state I keep hearing how medicaid cuts will get people to see the light, no it fucking won’t. These people are so deep in the cult they won’t get out no matter how much they’re fucked.

      It’s not a binary thing. Some will notice and fall away, or get closer to doing so. Others will dig in harder. The base of true MAGA believers is not that big. Even a few defections can have an outsized influence on support.

        The base of true MAGA believers isn’t that big, but those that vote R no matter who is on the ticket is FAR larger when you live in the midwest or the south.

        The only reason Missouri has anyone in congress that’s not a Republican is because of cities… and if they could figure out how to get rid of them, they’d do the same. And I know the commentary will come up on gerrymandering, but when it comes to state level elections there isn’t the gerrymandering problem and yet people still vote Republican overwhelmingly in the state.

      I think “MAGA incapable in acknowledging they’re wrong” would be a more concise and broadly correct title.

        Hey, Steve Jobs realized he was worthless mortal trash before he died alone, they can too, I believe in like, 33% of them being able to achieve deathbed enlightenment.
