I think because what they want, fundamentally, is to be on 'their team' and for 'their team' to be winning.
They love Trump because he makes 'their team' win, but they hate him, because he's awful, but they cannot admit that because then they'd be off the team.
So they invent a fake Trump to like.

i will never stop finding it funny that trump supporters who will talk to the press inevitably hope for a trump that does not in any way resemble the person he has always been — this happened the first time, too, though it took longer

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.
Hundreds of kids are still detained.
We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

One of the things we've enjoyed the most about the six-seven phenomenon is the way it comes with a gesture, which we've also seen represented in emoji form as:
🫴 six-seven 🫳

“6-7” belongs in the dictionary, actually

This brought out a bunch of doomers "...but! but!"-ing with all of the obstacles facing a pro-democracy movement in the USA, but I think it is worth thinking about the question from the other side.
What does MAGA need to do to do (not how, just what) to hold power long-term? Are they doing it?

Well, I guess my question for all of the doomers now would be why they think no one can stop Donald Trump from taking our democracy from us?

the real glory of world war two was that it involved a warrior cult being ground down and beaten to a pulp by people who would rather have been doing something else.

The basic fallacy in chasing votes by being "tough on immigration" is that the modal American's position on the issue is "Deport the Bad ones and keep the Good ones," and they alone know who is which, and that simply does not translate into workable policy. So this kind of gestapo stuff (1/2)
