Next Ian will talk about the NRA activist whose toddler shot them in the back. Then the COVID-denier who died from COVID. Then the anti-choice male politician who forced his mistress to have an abortion. Then the anti-gay politician found in his car blowing a gay prostitute.
There are many flavors of fascism, and MAGA is an especially nihilistic one. The right-wing media ecosystem rewards trolling above all else — especially over intra-party unity. In a competition for attention, adoration, and donations from the MAGA base, the quickest and surest route is to become a Joker-like chaos agent. MAGA loves a bad guy because it lets them pretend they're "rebels" who are "taking on the system." In reality, they are locusts swarming a field until nothing is left.
