Please consider the following statements:
If you think that any or all of these statements are true, then you have the MAGA brain worm. It's not a physical worm; it's more like a computer virus, except that the computer it runs on is the human brain. In some circles it's called a "meme complex", though it has nothing to do with cat pictures. It's a set of interlocking concepts that reinforce each other, and when one gets into your thinking it can distort your perceptions. That's why you think any of the above statements could be true.
I have good news. You will get over it. As time goes by some of the concepts get a little fuzzy. Some lose their edge. Some fade over time. The day will come when they stop reinforcing each other and the whole thing will fall apart. I can tell you from personal experience that it can be a transformative experience, as if the scales fall from your eyes and suddenly you see the reality that's been all around you the whole time.
When that day comes, it is important that you remember this:
We will forgive you.
It might take some time. Emotions have run very high all around. But we will forgive you. We love you and we want you back.
