Yes, they have absorbed the hegemonic ideology and never face any real consequences for it
I feel like the argument can be made that Trump lost in 2020 at least partially because so many of his supporters committed suicide via covid. Biden is also rightwing and his supporters are currently turning their brains into swiss cheese in order to keep his abysmal poll numbers up, but you get my point. We are at the end of the empire, which means that imperialists even in the core occasionally suffer the consequences of their actions.
