Someone told me they were like a Reverse Cargo Cult, didn’t make sense until they explained it.
So if you don’t know, a Cargo Cult is a phenomenon in which uncontacted nations have planes crash there, or they notice planes.
They’ll try to recreate planes, radios, etc., and when they don’t work, they pray to the Gods to try to make them work… Believing they just need the right blessings. This is an oversimplification, but it’s a very real phenomenon. Heck there’s a tribe somewhere that literally believes King Charles to be God because they had photos of him.
MAGA people have the reverse situation. They know why the planes work, they can see them working, and yet strangely… They build their own anyway, using bad intentions and duct tape, and when it doesn’t work, they go… “See it’s impossible, why does theirs works? It doesn’t, it’s a hoax, they’re lying to you because they want to enslave you!”
Only here it’s not a plane, it’s science in general and the concept of basic human empathy.
