re: How MAGA really works

The conservative grifter problem is legit and not discussed much. MAGA 1.0 was much more organic - everyone was called a nazi and had very little to gain - but now MAGA 2.0 just seemed fake.
I don’t doubt for a minute that many of the conservative influencers were paid - you can see screenshots of Twitter posts that were all identical after an event would happen (similar to the Dems during Covid - all had the same talking point). They’d be given their marching orders and off they would go.
Just look at the Epstein debacle. They literally brought conservative influencers in to hold supposed binders full of documents. What terrible optics.
A side note, but related. Israel spends more than $100M on social media influence each year and Netanyahu had a meeting discussing how important is was to buy Tic Tok for influence.
Propaganda is the main weapon nowadays, no matter who is in power.

MAGA is hyperreal and reality just got its revenge.

A good example this week is Saint DataRepublican and Cynical Publius posting in support of their former boss Hegseth

wait until you hear of the unprecedented growth of susie wiles's daughter's lobbying firm since susie has been a made woman. we are going to get these nepo boomers out of the party leadership or we are going to lose indefinitely.
as far as young voters go, like it or not, they have a deeply ingrained distrust and dislike of geriatric politicians. you trot out another peepaw who has shite decision making skills when it comes to appointing people around him like he did crooked meemaw susie, you're going to lose every time. someone my grandmother's age has no business thinking they have an accurate pulse of the American public.

As much as I am interested in what DataRepub posts, she’s a paid propagandist. Everyone is.
Nothing is organic in politics anymore.
I like Nick Shirley but even he’s paid/supported by the current admin.
I will say that Tyler Oliveira is as independent as one can get and Channel 5 does some good reporting/exposes.
