The transformation of rhetoric into thermodynamic disappointment...

What you were promised:
"Your energy bill within 12 months will be cut in half and that's my pledge all over the country!
12 months from January 20, your electric bill, including cars, air conditioning, heaters, everything, the total electric bill will be 50, 5-0%, less!" ~Donnie "The Pedo" Trump

What you got:
"Federal data shows prices climbing as families struggle with the nation’s steepest power costs in a decade."
"U.S. crude oil surged about 35% last week in its biggest gain in history dating back to 1983."
"Oil shatters $100 ceiling, hitting levels not seen since 2022 as Iran conflict escalates, prices up +9% on the day."

Are MAGAs masochists, or simply people who enjoy losing arguments to reality on a daily basis?

Are MAGAs masochists, or simply people who enjoy losing arguments to reality on a daily basis?

The best description of a MAGAt is still that of a cult member. A person deeply embedded in a cult often exhibits a psychological landscape shaped by certainty, dependency, and narrowing perception. Their sense of identity becomes intertwined with the group’s doctrine and leadership, so that personal doubts are quickly reframed as moral failures or external attacks. Loyalty to the group is experienced not merely as agreement but as a source of safety and meaning, making separation feel like a threat to one’s very self. Over time, the person may grow increasingly suspicious of outsiders, interpreting criticism as persecution and ordinary events as confirmation of the group’s worldview. This produces a paradoxical state: outward confidence and fervor paired with an underlying fragility, where independent thought feels dangerous and the boundaries between personal judgment and collective belief have largely dissolved.

This is what trumpistas carry with them in their hearts.

people who enjoy losing arguments to reality on a daily basis?

They can't argue with what they do not comprehend--and never shall.
