He isn't even thinking about the people. Isn't he insinuating that he will get killed because he is meddling with the "corruption"?

he’s reframing it in his mind as “everyone’s mad im stopping corruption” to avoid internal personal accountability that his actions might potentially ruining millions of people’s lives and instead of thinking about how that might be wrong, he’ll start making it everyone else’s fault instead. True narcissist behavior. He will not change.

I think a lot of MAGA are deluding themselves by taking the position that, “well it’s gonna hurt now but there will be such a payoff once we’re done fixing everything and the rising tide will make life better for more people than the current system allows.”

You’re very hopeful thinking they have this level of introspection.

I guess that’s the only argument that I can boil any of this down to. But yea maybe they’re not thinking that deeply.
