    They would vote for him again anyway. We need to get used to this: The only thing he could do that would stop them from supporting him is literally murdering them, and with their dying breaths, they’d whisper, “I probably did something to deserve it. MAGA!..”

    I doubt that.

    I expect that, if pressed, they’d register some mealy-mouthed quasi-criticism, simply because there’s no possible way to even convincingly pretend that it’s justifiable, let alone acceptable. But that’s just mouth noises - they’re never going to actually take a meaningful position against it or against anything elseTrump says or does, simply because, at this point, continuing to support Trump requires so much dishonesty and misrepresentation that if they start questioning any part of it, there’s too great a chance that the whole house of cards is going to come tumbling down, and they’ll be revealed as angry, toxic fools, and they can’t allow that.

      I wouldn’t say they’re showing some decency. Even when they oppose corruption, they’re opposing corruption that would likely curb US imperialism in the Middle East because Qatar definitely doesn’t want US bombs falling on Yemen, Gaza or Iran. It’s actually weird how they’re this consistent about being evil.

    Or surprise surprise. King in chief wants a palace. Mags has Trump derangement syndrome. Is when a person shows you exactly who they are but you create a different morale version in your head.
