don't have time to read the linked article right now.
After the Nancy Mace leak as to how she required her staffers to open anonymous, fake online profiles for the sole purpose of defending her, and propagating any propaganda she deemed important, it's clear to me that the right-wing nutso spin that we see on this site, TMF, and FB is just the staffers and vested interests of MAGA carrying out their orders. Some of these unwavering shows of support for Trump are so off-the-wall that nothing else makes any sense.
Same with unwavering support of DOGE, when it has been shown that DOGE is just conjuring numbers out of thin air, no documentation other than they said so.

The first three or four paragraphs pretty well summarize the article. Should only take a couple of minutes to read.

Interesting link, but may I suggest you include a snippet of some sort along with a link, it helps one decide whether to follow the link or not.
Why Authoritarian Voters Don’t Recognize Authoritarianism
It has become a paradox of modern American politics: those most drawn to authoritarian leadership are often the least capable of recognizing its presence. When Donald Trump or his administration enacts policies that clearly reflect autocratic tendencies, mass purges of civil servants, loyalty oaths, executive overreach, state propaganda campaigns, his most fervent supporters do not recoil in alarm. They double down in devotion. They do not see these actions as authoritarian; they see them as necessary, patriotic, or even noble.
This isn’t simply a political disagreement, it’s a psychological phenomenon. Decades of political psychology research offer a clear lens: people who score high on authoritarian predispositions exhibit a strong desire for conformity, obedience to perceived legitimate authority, and social homogeneity. But the most startling discovery isn’t just that these traits exist. It’s that they are accompanied by an uncanny blindness to the very authoritarianism they empower.
Dope: can you see it? I suggest you read the article.

FB, yes. Here and TMF? I wouldn't think it would be worthwhile. I think what we see here are just true believers.
