I think a lot of what drives MAGA is what they see as the tyranny of quality. The belief that the only thing that separates a YouTuber from a NASA scientist, Lee Greenwood from Bruce Springsteen, or gibberish from an A paper is some sort of conspiracy against their worldview.

Billionaire Island by @manruss.bsky.social & @stevepugh.bsky.social. An utterly absurd but entirely plausible account of where capitalism is taking us that has already begun to come true.

Cereal by @manruss.bsky.social & Peter Snejbjerg. The fact that I'm not American & therefore have no nostalgic attachment to these particular cereal mascots, & yet still absolutely loved this should tell you how good it is.

It's only going to get infinitely worse as AI becomes trained less on actual therapy and more on AI approximations of therapy.

Literally buying one copy of a book at your local indie bookstore can mean the difference in whether they buy future books from that author.
