If you’ve been scrolling through social media lately, you’ve likely witnessed a display of mental gymnastics so impressive that it deserves an Olympic gold medal.
The star of the show? The curious case of the DDS (Duterte Diehard supporters) and their sudden, flickering romance with the Makabayan bloc.
Not too long ago, the Makabayan Bloc was the ultimate "Boogeyman." Mention their name in a DDS group chat, and you’d get a flood of red-tagging stickers and accusations that they are NPA's and they are hiding in the mountains.
But then, the UniTeam divorce happened. Suddenly, the Makabayan Bloc filed a move to impeach President Bongbong Marcos (BBM).
-The Reaction: Wait, is that for real?”
-The Logic: For a fleeting moment, the very people labeled as "NPA" were transformed into "Brave Defenders of the People."
The DDS keyboard warriors were practically ready to offer them a seat at the Davao dinner table.
"Finally, someone sees the truth!" they cried, suddenly forgetting that three months prior, they wanted these same people disqualified from existence.
However, the honeymoon ended faster than a celebrity marriage.
The moment the Makabayan Bloc turned its impeachment gaze toward Vice President Sara Duterte, the script flipped back so hard it caused collective whiplash.
Suddenly, the "Brave Defenders" reverted to their "Terrorist" skins. The comments sections shifted from "Laban, Makabayan!" to "Mga salot! NPA talaga kayo! Ginugulo niyo ang bansa!"
It’s a fascinating study in selective amnesia.
One day, the Makabayan Bloc is the only ones with "balls" for standing up to the administration; the next day, they are a "communist front" for asking about the VP's confidential funds.
It turns out, in the world of hardcore fandom, "Truth" isn't a destination—it's just a temporary bus stop on the way to defending your favorite politician.
