Todd Beeton looks at how "we are witnessing MAGA go through grief’s five commonly acknowledged stages, publicly and in real time:

Denial

Anger

Bargaining

Depression

Acceptance."

As a cult, MAGA creates conditions for those who eventually have their eyes opened to go through a deprogramming process that incoprorates all five stages. Beeton looks at specific MAGA persons how passing through each stage of the process.

MAGA's Support For Trump Is Cracking: Stages Of Grief

As MAGA voters turn on Trump, they’re reckoning with loss in a classic, recognizable pattern

The Big Picture

@wdlindsy

seems to me, it's not only MAGA who's going through the 5 phases of grief, but the whole US people...

in fact, it seems that the present government is trying to fast-forward the whole country through this process - through successive abuse/TACO cycles, to accept the *authority* without revolting 🤔

@RainbowFrog A very good point. Except most of us don't need deprogramming since we were never "programmed" in the first place!

@wdlindsy
What programming are you talking about? 🤔

Ohhh, the MAGA one ! That was not what I meant. The 5 stages apply to everything you loose...

What I meant is that they are trying to *use* the 5-stages to fast-forward the American people into accepting the loss of freedom, if they succeed 😐

@RainbowFrog You're right, the MAGA one.
