Trump’s base was vocally divided over the prospects of direct U.S. attacks up until the moment they happened.
The MAGA movement’s top influencers were divided over bombing Iran until Donald Trump did just that Saturday night.
Now, at least for the time being, the lay leaders in Trump’s base appear to be rallying around a position that spares Trump criticism: Direct attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities are justified, as long as American troops aren’t sent into a third full war halfway around the world in the last quarter of a century.
Not to praise MAGA or anything, but this is part of why the GOP wins more than it should: their voters swallow their misgivings and turn out for them. Dem voters will jettison all support on the merest wafting zephyr of news they don’t entirely like.
You don’t want sheep, but you want voters who can get on the bus when the election comes around. You want to fight to upgrade the party between cycles, but once primary season is over, get on the bus and vote.
Compartmentalizing and blindly following aggressive authority figures are the key traits of authoritarians (RWA). These are not desirable traits and RWA should be recognized as the dangerous mental illness it is.
Your reply is a non sequitur.
