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 @wdlindsy they’re going through grief, the rest of us are experiencing raw terror

@Catawu @wdlindsy

indeed ! what I meant is that they seem to push everybody through Denial/Anger/Bargaining/Depression into *Acceptance* because of sheer exhaustion :(

@RainbowFrog @wdlindsy I take nothing away from your well-worded post, I merely added the obvious. You have it absolutely nailed.
