 @a8671fa0 @fa46ee30 I'd like to mention in passing (as in regardless the particular pol party at hand), credibility or trust more generally and knowledge though to a less degree are social constructs.

Martyrs aside, a person can wielded into some social group/belief system with enough effort. You just did't applied to become trumpist hard enough :), the arguments or other-ness are usually a red herring.

I believe it takes a real 'effort' to enroll in the MAGA ideology
since naturally, for simple principles of ethics, as a 'good family man' 
anyone would reject it with disgust
it is an ideology that contrasts with 'common living' and basic moral decency.

Well yes
You are right
I didn't apply myself enough.
