This is what you get when you recruit ‘regular’ people into your fascist movement – they buy the bullshit that you’re ’for the people’ and ‘want to make things better for everyone’.

She really doesn’t understand what her party is for, and instead takes it for its facade. And she doesn’t understand this means she’s a circus clown.
Sounds pretty plausible. And in the past when there was decorum, the too-sincere just got quietly sidelined I imagine, wondering why they never seemed to get anywhere despite their loyalty and fervor. But today, when the party communication strategy is explicitly “carnival barker but a mix of vicious lies and middle school insults”, welp, those zealots not only avoid being dealt with quietly, they get a platform, cuz they already had one, and it’s one that rests on the larger platform where every heinous unsayable thing has already been publicly screeched, and also subsequently forgotten.
I hope she goes nuclear lol, she’s gotta have some good dirt right?
