According to MAGA, Trump is somehow protecting all of America but also isn't?

I think his cult views it like God and Satan. So no matter how omnipotent, God wasn't able to prevent Satan from accessing Eden as a snake and tempt Adam and Eve.

IMHO those people already have been heavily brainwashed by their religion so they're willing to believe whatever fits the main narrative.

Another lemming pointed out a hypothesis that explains all this:

To some, good and evil are something you inherently are, not just something you do.

Barring some very, very specific circumstances (e.g. baptism), the die is cast. From that vantage point, it's easy to have shorthand for good/bad guys, regardless of what deeds they commit. This is where corrupt leadership and propaganda slot-in by inventing new and exciting ways to judge people.

That's just so stupid. Nothing against you and this take, it's likely not far from the truth. But the whole concept you describe is just.. dumb..
