Hopefully, A Rising Star
@repstansbury Why is the GOP shielding Elon Musk from Oversight!? Maybe…because while we’re sitting here he’s dismantling agencies, threatening national security, stealing our data, and breaking the law. Dems are not clutching our pearls. Dems are fighting back. And we won't stop!

The Central Conceit
The generic statement of MAGA-style "thinking" is:
The government can't be trusted
Now that MAGA is the government - and the fact that they haven't abandoned that sentiment - there's no doubt in my mind that what we're seeing from the rank-n-file movement and their leader is depression and self-loathing turned outwards, manifesting itself in hostility and aggression.
And that's typical of the authoritarian mindset.
Hitler didn't love Germany. He believed Germans had allowed themselves to be fooled and betrayed - and he hated them for it. But what he choose to do about it was to fool them in a different way, and in the end, to betray them just the same. He had to - he hated them.
He dragged his country into the abyss as a way to compensate for his own self-image of being crippled with shame, and a desperate denial that, ultimately, he wasn't worthy of the adulation that he sought and demanded. The more he gained, the more sure he was that he didn't deserve it, and that he needed to be punished for his ever increasing appetite, while at the same time, needing to demand more and more from his devotees in order to cover his inadequacies (which, of course, he couldn't allow himself ever to admit).
With Trump, it's not hard to see some very close parallels, but the problem behind the problem is that he's just the front man being manipulated by people who are absolutely bent on - and no longer shy about - tearing everything down in order to install a corporate-style plutocracy.
Trump has been named CEO, with Elon in the role of COO, all being overseen by a Board Of Directors (the cabinet), with liaisons from the major sectors of the economy - Finance, Manufacturing, Commodities, Transportation, Utilities, etc.

What It Is
MAGA will never turn on him.
He's a perverse Avatar for them.
As bad as they are,
he'll always be worse,
and that's their salvation.
