    Yes, plenty of people with this kind of mentality exist in the USA.

    I don’t know if this particular person is satire or not, and I’m not going to spend any time hunting down their profile to verify.

    The fact that they aren’t blaming Biden in both of these posts makes me think it’s satire, though. Because the very limited exposure I still have in real life to people of this general political persuasion suggests that they’re all about blaming Biden for the current spike in gas and grocery prices. I’ve heard several different variations of why them blame Biden for current gas prices, but it mostly boils down to a nebulous, tangential line of reasoning that Biden didn’t start a war with Iran during his term.

    As though dealing with the consequences of Trump’s disastrous handling of COVID and the economy wasn’t enough, they apparently think Biden should have also been bombing Iran “back to the stone age.”

      It is not.

      This person is cognitive dissonance personified, they’re not capable of mental consistency, they are a delusional cult member, their brain works in such a way that it pretzels to find any possible reason to justify and glorify the cult leader.

      If you haven’t personally lost friends and family members to the MAGA cult, please trust me, I am being completely serious.
