A problem is that there are three kinds of person in any anti-social ideology: the marks, the grifters, and the masterminds.
The marks literally think the thing is a totally different thing. They're MAGA folks who think MAGA is all about "ending tyranny" and giving their kids a better future. They're Dem voters who think Democrats are just frustrated progressives who care deeply about people
Even politicians can be marks! There are Dem pols and GOP pols who really believe their propaganda
