Early last week, I was at the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library for its first weekend. At the library itself, despite President Donald Trump inserting himself incongruously into the opening ceremonies, I did not see a single person sporting a Trump-branded clothing item.

The town of Medora, North Dakota, itself was, however, a different story. It wasn’t overwhelming. But for someone who lives in an urban center of a blue state, where even in the ruby red rural areas most people have become sufficiently shamed to shut up about their MAGA tendencies, a single errant MAGA cap is a rarity.

This whole Maga thing with Trump has made me start hating white people. And I’m white! It’s just so pathetic and embarrassing

Christians. That's the problem demographic. I've met/worked with plenty of racist, hateful, fascist, xenophobic people of all sorts of ethnicities - but they were all one variety of Christian or another.

The bigoted MAGAt who has done the most to make my life miserable is an atheist. 🤷

Turning racist to own the racists seems like a bizarre road to go down.

You should hate a person not a people.

It has made me have second thoughts about humans. And I'm a human.
