This is only definitional true. People leave cults. People are leaving this cult.
It’s telling that recent cnn polling has started showing 100% support for the war among MAGA, not 90%. They are getting to this because the 10% that were in the cult but could leave potentially have left.
Cults also almost routinely fall apart under their own weight. They can do a ton of damage along the way, but structurally they aren’t built to last they are built around an individual. There are exceptions but they are way less common, and MAGA has no structural integrity beyond what Trump says which means it’s quite brittle.
A lot of rich people actually try to live a normal looking life. Stealth wealth, and you might never find them until you get invited to their house.
Their house will be nicer than average, probably not crazy, but just a lot more than a typical person would have. They will have things like fancy light fixtures and switches that don’t look totally normal, the furniture will look normal but if you look closer you’ll only find high quality wood construction, tongue and groove, etc. You should also notice things are probably cleaner than a typical house (because regular house cleaner), everything works, and major appliances are newer generally. They are rich so they don’t have to make any budget trade offs.
These people might have insane net worth and they are trying to down play it because they know how bad it is for them when they are obviously wealthy for so many reasons.
Ostentatious wealth signals are usually sign of a HENRY or a striver, those people typically aren’t actually wealthy they have a lot of debt.
Is anyone else as tired as I am of hearing how GOP anyone is upset about something obviously awful IN PRIVATE?
Like who tf cares if it’s in private? Do they want brownie points for that or something? Is this some form of sanewashing because we can’t utter the dark one’s name out loud?
Politicians don’t get to have private opinions, they either say it publicly or it doesn’t matter or count for shit.
