Right wingers that have kids often abuse them, up to and including being estranged from their kids and deserving it. If you dare to peek into QAnon cult shit, a lot of it is a magical power fantasy of "and then all of our illnesses will be cured by medbeds, our debts will be wiped away by a MAGA jubilee, and our kids will beg our forgiveness or die." grill-broke

Yeah a lot of Qanon mythology rests on the idea that the uninformed will all en masse admit they were wrong, renounce leftism, and become ardent Trump supporters

It really reminds me of Mormonism or the Millerites. I think home grown American religious movements only have one trick.

It's pure frontierism ideology.

"My frustrations with civilization will be solved if I strike out on my own and start my own mini civilization where I make the rules and the masses will crawl to me someday!"

"Galt's Gulch" in Ayn Rand garbage fiction was exactly that. We even see that shit with techbros fantasizing about conquering space. my-hero

"My grandkids will come up to me and say 'I'm sorry grandpa, you were right about everything, please cure us of our vaccine microchips. We'll do anything!'"

Yes.

By "medbed" I mean the belief in alien technology that is supposedly held back by the deep state that cures everything imaginable and that trump-moist will totally release it for free to the MAGA believers.

My dear friend's brother believed that shit before covid. "They have all the cures they just refuse to release them." Then MAGA came along and he totally detached from reality.

If they had a cure for everything then you'd think they would have found a way to fix our DNA like lobsters to mitigate aging for the ghouls at the very top of the food chain

It's like their ideological foot soldiers (no pun on my name) showing up to school board meetings to punish children from learning about actual stuff, and these people don't even have kids in the school district.
