There are many MAGA grifters with similarly confusingly contradictory identity going back to the start and the reality is that they're there because capital interest outweighs all else.

MAGA grifts seem incredibly lucrative, especially if you're the sort of Milo Yionopolis, Clarence Thomas, Candace Owens, Ben Shapiro ass, member of a group they're not too fond off. I'm pretty sure MAGA grifts are the most lucrative social grift currently, it's free money and the discourse drives the engagement so its a self feeding loop for an influencer or content creator, its self perpetuating in other ways too so if you start its not easy to stop.

They also don't care that they're helping to do the things that they do because they believe the leopards won't eat her face in the end because she was one of the good ones. Ofcourse bigots rarely make distinctions when riled up in to a frenzy, so they definitely could and likely will get facey eaten. But assuming she is actually getting paid, she will become ever more privileged in their new society than she would be in their new society without that money. But also, if she's been privileged with wealth long enough she could align with wealth interests solely, and ignore (bewilderingly) all the other policys of MAGA.
