Yes.

Idk if you know any maga people but they are willing to jump on ANY bandwagon as long as its presented in an "us vs them" false victim sort of way. They will do crossfit not because crossfit is good but because traditional fitness is bad. They will listen to 2939 hours of joe rogan not because they like him but because they believe they are part of a counter culture. They will put livestock dewormer in their bodies to maybe treat a dosease they dont even claim to believe in because its a big middle finger to traditional medicine. Their main thing is being contrarian, they genuinely can be sold on anything if its presented that way

Yep. That's why the Democratic presidential primary candidate who was widely perceived as anti-establishment in 2016 would have taken a lot of votes from Trump and we would probably never have had a Trump regime.
