There are some reasons why you can have an incomplete picture of maga.

-If you live in an information bubble where the only thing you see are from bootlickers.

-If you have been raised by a politically charged family, if not in a -literal or not- cult.

-If the cognitive dissonance makes you ignore some things unconsciously.

And among the testimonies on the site, there are people who were supportive to MAGA while being aware of what they are, then did an heel-face turn.

It's pretty courageous to change our mind about politics and admit we were wrong or blindfolded. Instead of being stubbornly mad at them, we should support them.

It looks like the OP didn't read the rules and took the community title at face value.

Well, Elon is a strong case of pot calling the kettle black.

For me, they are people from an online community. We know eachother since 1-2 decades and they know some things about me that even my own mother doesn't know. They even unknowingly saved my life when i was on the nearly suicidal during COVID, simply by responding to my cry for help. Sometimes, we get at each other's nerves, but we still close friends nevertheless.

When reflexes acquired in your job are invading your daily life.

-When i was an intern in a retail, i had to fight against the urge to store the shelves during my own shopping sessions.

Reps voters: vote red because they think queer people are inherently pedophiles. Ted Cruz: want to stop us attacking pedophiles. Whoopsie !

Even if you were a furry, you wouldn't deserve death threats. I'll never understand why furries attract so much hate.

-I'm on a Discord server composed with people i know since a dozen years. Despite some heavy drama, this is the most perennial community i've ever frequented. We care heavily for eachother and they know some thing i never told to my own mother. We were first on a discussion forum then moved to discord when the site linked to the forum died.

-My sister's friends. She is so close to them that they all became mine.

Yeah, really weird, they shoot themselves in the foot at the worst possible time.

Never heard about the guy before his death, but to my credit, i live in Europe. Paradoxically, his death looks like a benediction for the reps, they have now a new pretext to cancel or condemn the dems, they just have to look a bit too happy about his assassination.
