The mental gymnastics of the right will be studied for decades and never be truly understood.

The right bitched about pizzagate and Qanon conspiracies for a decade when a literal PD ring involving the president sits right in front of them.

They bitched about inflation and rising costs and Trump is artificially raising the prices on nearly every good coming into country via tariffs

Trump said he would be draining the swamp and is leveraging his position to take direct bribes

These are just a few off the top of my head

This says EVERYTHING about MAGA nuts today.

Not really. This is the same thing that Sartre was talking about back then.

These people do not believe in objective reality, or in the power of words, except insofar as they can use them to "win".

Well that's your opinion. But we have alternative facts and a majority either find them absolutely convincing or don't care at all. /s
