Nailed it. 90% of the people I’m surrounded by are hard core blue team. And just yesterday (after I’d heard the Canada/Greenland news) they all started repeating it and how crazy Trump is. And I couldn’t help feel like they were taking it a bit too seriously. What a strange creature; he’s like a Chaos Engine. But I’m beginning to wonder if it has a weird shock value cleansing effect? 🤷‍♂️

I'm all for shock value, and precisely that's one of the main virtues I have always found in Trump. My point was: The pearl clutchers exist among the Democrats, and they come in two flavors: the intelligent ones who "go along" with the joke and use it to agitate against Trump knowingly, and the autistic and low-IQ ones who take it literally and truly believe the first ones (and Trump). The question is, it's exactly the same among the MAGA movement. The leaders are just having fun and agitating to distract from the internal rift that quite a trivial issue like the HB1 visa conversation unmasked, but a large number of the base members seem to be taking it literally and truly believing something that is absolutely preposterous and idiotic, like nations giving up their sovereignty and allowing the US to annex them and own their resources just because.
