    They don’t really, it’s just that’s what you see in leftist spaces. Really they are just state-sponsered shit-stirrers interested in driving as many wedges between Americans (not exclusively, but America is a big target for geopolitical reasons) as they can. They are worse than zealots; they are unprincipled opportunistic FUD machines.

      Yeah, that’s the only explanation that makes sense. No one could be as irrational as tankies.

      Oh wait, maga fascists are that irrational and it seems genuine.

      I’m tired, boss…

        MAGA is a mix of true believers and grifters. I think that’s true of all cults, MAGA’s just the one I have the most firsthand experience with. Sometimes it’s hard to tell which is which. Generally, the true believers are the ones losing money and the grifters are the ones gaining, but occasionally a true believer makes it to the top. I think Marjorie Taylor Greene is one example, though IDK I don’t know her personally so she might just be a competent grifter.
