Gotta admit, I expected this admin to speedrun fascism, but I'd be lying if I said I was expecting it as soon as April

Lol MAGAts aren't doing what the meme says, they're cheering it on, because ThOSe DaMn DeMoCrAps are finally getting taken care of
I don't see that at all. The only MAGA that I'm still connected to on Facebook hasn't posted anything about the Abrego Garcia situation since it happened. He's literally doing the Homer thing, and the shrubs are his other posts about the weather and stuff. He went from posting about Trump all the time to kinda pretending like he doesn't exist.
Meanwhile, the MAGAts around my parents' house in the middle of rural Indiana have taken down all of their Trump flags. They were already at a low ebb before the election; now there are only two houses with Trump signs up on my route to their house, and I'm pretty sure one of them is owned by an old woman who can't walk.
This just isn't happening on the ground. Only on Fox, as far as I can tell.
My hardcore right wing neighbors have anti-elon stickers all over one of their Teslas, but are still the same. I think Fox has them fearful of "persecution". They highlight every act of vandalism or protest like they're some sort of oppressed minority so that makes them afraid to speak up, or they straight up know their viewpoints are shameful. Either way I think only the margins are changing as the truth never penetrates the core of the believers.
The mental gymnastics, man.
