Ignorance also has a willful component. People will believe things they know or suspect are wrong if they support what those people really want to believe. We can't underestimate MAGA cruelty and desire to cause pain to people outside their bubble. A LOT of MAGAs are only now waking up because mass deportations are affecting THEIR families, not just the libs'. Trump's economic illiteracy is affecting THEIR budgets, not the just the libs'.

MAGA world is starting to feel the pain of what they voted for, thinking that pain would only land on other people.

Ikr. Spare the rod, spoil the child. Elaboration needed???
Not exactly, in this case. More like suffering themselves the consequences they were fine with as long it happened to others.
