12. The impending downturn and clampdown have not penetrated maga consciousness though they worry a bit

They are worried a bit because all the libs are terrified. They are not worried about the clampdown because they are immune from it, ... for now. They are worried a bit about the economy because the stock market is down and there have been some attention-getting down days. But they are assured that tRump is working hard and will be good for the economy.

They live in a propaganda bubble. Many are actually pretty sane and good family providers / carers but have been deluded by a coordinated deluge of gaslighting.

Loss of government services will help them wake up.
A falling economy will help them wake up.

As they start to take on board those signals, then peaceful and specific mass action in all forms will help reality penetrate their comforting gaslit bubble.

Then mass action will help them turn against the regime.
