    If feel like more of them just realizing that they won’t be the exception to the rule and only really care now that it’s obvious they’ll get the shit end of the stick just like everyone else.

    For a great many MAGAs it is and always was about weaponizing a social and political movement to hurt people they don’t like and now that it’s hurting them, we’re seeing clearly that their principles never aligned with what they espoused. It’s always hypocrisy with them, they aren’t willing to be tradwives and follow the ideals they claim to support, but they’re happy to use the idea to attack feminism.

    If they wind up being forced out of politics, I have no sympathy for them. It was so very apparent, going all the way back to the beginning of Gamergate, that this was the trajectory of the movement.

      This is actually all part of their delusion. Maga genuinely think that they are exceptional people and therefore exceptions will be made for them…

      This is why they are always so shocked when the leopards eat their faces, they are supposed to be one of the good ones.
