They live with sunk cost fallacy justifications...
- first argument:the GOP might be grifting thieves when it comes to the Government subsidies and tax breaks, but the Democrats are actually stealing from hard workers because of Regulations and Taxes, and giving taxes to the unworthy poor for votes to stay in power!

- second: They're both bad, but Democrats are hypocrites!

- third: Democrats don't understand the Economy, they need to give money to the job creators - the small business and LLCs! Poor people don't create jobs...

-fourth and final: But What About Meeeeeee!!!????

That's the MAGA worldview. It's not about living in A Better Country, it's about being a member of A Better Country Club....
