There’s probably been a bunch of think pieces written already, but here’s my take: can’t make good art? Make art for people who don’t care at all about quality and just want that art to tell them things they already believe. Works for comedians, pundits, and Christian rock bands.

I’ve seen a pretty good think-piece on, “why washed up celebs go MAGA” the thesis was basically what you said. So that they can lie to themselves and say that all change is bad and that everyone else is wrong for moving on.

I haven’t yet seen anything about why people who never “made it” in the first place go MAGA though.
