How do MAGA folks ignore Trump's DEEEEEEEP ties to Epstein so completely???
They don't ignore it, they don't care.
They think elites should be able to do what they want— reactionary ideology was founded as a monarchical counterrevolutionary movement, and that's the ideal they're working backwards to achieve.
Note that this obviously doesn't apply to elites who aren't aligned with their movement.
They use rhetoric to divide the opposition and to rally their base; they don't actually care about coherence.
Recently, one of my moms was ranting about how corrupt Biden was for pardoning his son (she didn't even know what he was charged for - I got her to look it up and then her response was basically "well, he deserved it anyways because of corruption). Later the same day, we were talking about how Musk was abusing his position to fire people investigating his companies and my moms responses were "that's smart".
There's so much "as long as my team does it, it's good and no matter what the other team does, it's bad"
