I had an old coworker who had given MAGA organizations her life’s savings. She was working well past her planned retirement and wound up getting a head injury. She shouldn’t have been put in the position to work high acuity psychiatry in her 70s. And to the day she retired she kept saying trump was going to reward her any day now. I hope those grifters rot in hell.
Preachers prey on people like that all the time and it’s ok because it’s privileged superstition. Replace “trump” with “Jesus” and that’s the story of millions and millions of people.

They’re benefiting from the grift. Everyday people either think they’re going to be graced by him, or fucking hate his guts.

It’s just a variation on Christianity.
