Reality does not matter to MAGA. Or, at best, it matters selectively. Something damages a MAGA then it matters. If it doesn’t damage that particular MAGA then it is fake news. Even if it damages other MAGAs it will still be fake news to those MAGAs it doesn’t touch.

Stagflation will damage them all but…it can be explained away as Biden’s fault or Democrats fault. ICE taking family or friends is reality because it hits them and cannot be explained away.
