MAGA is a mental illness. It flies in the face of all logic, is more important than friends and family, is above the law, relies on cult-like devotion, and is always right, even when proven wrong.

I would say brainwashed but they have to have a brain to have it washed.
Maybe it's just been washed to many times so now there's nothing left but emptiness O.o
This is the actual TDS
trump dementia syndrome, a unique disease where dementia is transmissible through electronic mediums, only affect republican/conservative leaning people.
Tds?
“TDS” is what the maga cultists accuse anyone of having when they point out trump’s clear malice, incompetence, corruption, etc. It stands for “trump derangement syndrome.”
As if being a sane & rational person is “deranged.”
It is always projection with them.
Something death squad?
Tourettes Death Squad
Sacrificing your wife, mother of your childrem, is totally not cult behavior, no sir. /s
Maybe he hated his wife and that was his plan all along.
Thats why you should live with someone at least a couple years before doing paperwork. Better chance you get all the kinks ironed out
Or ensure said kinks are at least compatible.
Trudat
The MAGA brain at all times.
This is what I mean when I talk about how no amount of suffering will turn people to our side.
Suffering will not cure these fuckwits.
Ooh, so Iran is also involved in this one.
The ICE divorce
He’s been wanting to get rid of her for a while, lol.
Stockholm syndrome or he dropped a dime on her to get rid of her
Pretty sure he's next on the guest list
Good.
I honestly think their marriage was in shambles and he's glad he doesn't have to deal with it. That's the only way this makes sense.
We are under a dictatorship. Think theough the possible outcomes
Is he continues supporting Trump, he may get an exemption as a reward for his continued support despite a large news story developing
If he speaks out against Trump's policies, he's effectively guaranteed not to get an exemption. Anti-Trump citizens are freqently attacked. They may come up with arbitrary crimes to charge him with, similar to Abrigio Garcia His own citizenship may be in jeopardy, as Trump has stated he may strip citizenship from those he disagrees with
For him personally, it's an obvious choice: Publicly support Trump, as it maximizes your personal gains
That or he needs his MAGA social circle so can't show he's abandoning their cause.
That actually is a good explanation which also explains how ICE found out about her.
Dont overlook the simple explanation that it's a legitimate honest to god cult. Not an iota less cultish than Jonestown. The antivaxxers who lost a 6yo daughter felt no remorse either and did not change their minds on vaccines. These kinds of people have been willingly programmed into a nationwide cult. Idk what reconstruction will look like but unless it makes Sherman blush, there's no saving this country.
TBH even most real cults aren't so cartoonishly evil to get you to sacrifice your wife.
Bible cults most certainly are, and the beliefs of the family that lost their child to measles is clearly one of those. They constantly make their followers do things against their self interest: tithing, eschewing modernity, having dozens of kids, mass suicides in the extreme cases.
Anyone who's new to watching a trump administration - I gather a lot of you were, y'know, younger the first time around - It's important to remember: there is no bottom. Each and every new low is soon passed by an even lower low. It never ends.

"I'm very for [the United States vetting] Iranian nationals because of the sleeper cells," Sahakyan told Fox 11. "I think it will resolve a lot of issues because we'll know exactly who's in here for what reasons, even though I miss [my wife] dearly."
Unbelievable. Just unbelievable. They're married! It's a family bond! Imagine being married to a person that's like "sure, they took my spouse to a torture prison on foreign soil so I'd never see them or even their grave again, but they're torturing them for the greater good^™️^, so while I kind of miss them, I'm sure it's for the best of everyone. It was fun while it lasted."
If I ever returned, I'd skin them alive. That, too, I think would resolve a lot of issues.
It's common sense to support a dictator holding your wife hostage
What's he supposed to do, speak out against the guy holding his wife?
In a democracy, his support for Teump would be questionable. We are no longer in a democracy. Supreme leader takes your family, you thank him and hope for leniency

This guy would drink the flavour aid without a second thought. Or a first one.
Trump doesn't understand what he's doing, but somehow, his supporters do.
its called the weave, 9 differnet things all incoherent meshed into one algamation of a thought, only his supporters can decipher.

Step on my throat harder, Daddy! 🥾😋😊😚
Masihi, who is now in her 40s, was 3 when she came to the United States as a refugee from Iran. About 15 years ago, her green card was revoked due to a prior conviction she had for theft, and since then she's been dedicated to regaining her legal status, Sahakyan told the Los Angeles TV station in an interview.

"Trump is not trying to do anything bad," Arthu Sahakyan told the local news after his wife was taken from their California home. "He wants the best for the country"
You're a fucking moron and we'll be better off when they deport you too.
It's incredible to me how some people (my own mother included), believe that this asshole cares about this country AT ALL.
Maga is nested inside misogyny. His wife's problems are subordinate to his political allegiance. He probably things that trump will recompense the loss of his wife.
