Toxic cultures train people to do toxic collective evil, such as slavery or genocide or ethnic cleansing.
Magats are utterly convinced they are being patriotic and doing god's work when they adamantly support alligator auchwitz and ice kidnapping of people who have come to this country at the behest of an American employer to work, often for below minimum wage and under conditions citizens would never accept. Or think the state should enslave pregnant women and dictate details of their existence over 9 months, force them to suffer and endure financial, psychological, emotional, hormonal, and physical damage and even risk death, even for a fetus that might already be dead or doomed, and imprison doctors who might try to save them.
They have been trained to believe that anyone who holds a contrary view is the unpatriotic and evil one and that the magat is the good one against all facts and logic and reason because why would all their beloved right wing sources lie?
For the rest of us, it's like a bad magic trick where we all see how the magician is doing the trick but those in the target audience are completely enthralled and convinced it's magic.
These people work from the premise that Donnie is divinely appointed so everything he says is the truth and good and gods will no matter how idiotic or evil it actually is.
A cruel immigration policy makes sense to them because they are convinced we're under invasion by rapists and so on. They've been hearing that crap continuously since Donnie's escalator speech nearly a decade ago. They think they're defending innocent Americans against evil invaders w huh en actually they're torturing and ruining lives of people who pick our vegetables and wash our dishes and mow our lawns.
They are incapable or processing the idea that a convicted criminal ignoring laws and the constitution might actually be the evil one. God chose him to lead us, they think, so they can't process such a conflicting notion.
