    For as virtuosically incompetent as MAGA is, the Conservative Propaganda Machine is an incredibly effective entity, probably because it is operated by successful business people, and not politicians.

    It has been growing steadily since it was conceived by Cheney and Ailes in the wake of the Watergate Scandal, and now it has matured into a force so effective, that it has millions of Americans literally living in an alternative reality. They no longer recognize the real world, and the real world has no conception of their perceived reality. We see them living in their bubble, and now they’ve even stolen the power, and think they can force their false reality onto the rest of us, but it isn’t real, so it will NEVER work. Even though they are in power, we can still see that they are outside of reality.
