Wasn't sure where to put this but figured here might be a good thread. Got this from Facebook regarding the Hulk Hogan documentary on Netflix and MAGA refusing to live in reality.
If you watch the Hulk Hogan documentary on Netflix, you'll see an example of the safe space that MAGA supporters delusionally create to cope with being triggered by reality. In the last episode of the documentary, Hogan discusses the moment when tens of thousands of WWE fans booed him out of the building. What did he say about that moment?
That it was great. That the rest of us misunderstood the moment. That he was just "getting heat," and that's a good thing in wrestling. Basically, he convinced himself (or tried to) that real-world hate was somehow the same as kayfabe (i.e., imaginary wrestling stories). That the fans who loved him for four decades turning on him during his return was just part of the show.
If you watch the video of his return to WWE on Netflix, you know that he didn't believe this nonsense in the moment. You can see it on his face. You can see it on Jimmy Hart's face. Hart even told us later that it devastated Hogan. But in the snowflake MAGA world, they can't let what really happened get in the way of their imagined reality.
It's why all facts are "fake news." It's why all science is a "hoax." It's why all elections they lose are "rigged." It's why teaching history is "indoctrination." It's why supporting the Constitution is "unpatriotic." It's why all Trump protesters are "paid." The simple reality is that MAGA cannot deal with reality.
This is true for Bubba in the trailer park all the way up to Hulk Hogan in a Florida beach house. Hogan had to tell himself that he was just "getting heat" as if he was being featured as a heel (i.e., bad guy). But he wasn't. It was supposed to be the triumphant return of a "Real American" hero.
The fans weren't booing Hulk Hogan. They were booing Terry Bollea. His rep wasn't great among many wrestling fans in the first place, but when he gleefully threw his hat in with fascists, that was it. MAGA, you create whatever make-believe world you need to cope, but reality doesn't care about your feelings.
If this happened to Hulk Hogan — a guy that many of us grew up idolizing — how do you think history is gonna remember you?
