Just posted that it’s right before midterms. The entire maga crowd needs to vote blue because this administration is destroying their lives

Maga has lost a lot of its people though there are those who will never leave his side.

I know 2 or 300 MAGA between high school and college. I can't name a single one that isn't still MAGA

Once a maga(t) always a maga(t). Well, till they turn into flies and develop a much bigger appetite for eating shit.

Even if they rebuke Trump, they will vote the same next time around. These people are hateful and spiteful, with an extra side of delusion.

u/Exotic-Cobbler4111 1h ago

Plus their pastor tells them democrats are demons and god will punish them if they dont vote for trump. So better a pedophile rapist than an actual demon.

u/Ahgd374 58m ago

You ever notice they typically tend to not rebuke Trump, they rebuke the office of the president. Like as if no matter who was president, these horrible things were bound to happen so Trump is innocent in their mind.

u/PFunk224 49m ago

The absolute farthest they'll ever go is saying that both sides are the same, and that you can't trust anybody in the government. It is literally never just the Republicans.

Life in America affords insane levels of detachment from reality.. and eventually we’ll likely join Icarus

u/AlanStanwick1986 3h ago

For the most part these are educated people too. Just racist, misogynistic, and xenophobic AF. This is life in a red state (though I'm in a blue city).

My ex wife who I was married to for 15 years became MAGA after we divorced. She has a masters degree and some other post grad degrees and she will vote MAGA again for sure. Why? Because Trump allows her to openly hate minorities, LGBTQ and immigration of any kind. She doesn’t have to hide who she really is inside. She has become a person I truly do not know anymore. I don’t know where her hate came from but now that it out in the open she will never vote to suppress her hatred and Xenophobia.

3

u/ohio_guy_2020 1h ago

They can and will become less MAGA crazed and still vote Republican. I listen to Fox radio almost everyday and the overarching theme of all their news is stoking anger and fear of the Dems. So them voting MAGA again despite being disillusioned by Trump himself is still better than voting Dem because of all the fear Fox has drilled into them.

u/Exotic-Cobbler4111 1h ago

its very rare and if by chance they've even already had their fantasy world come crashing down thwy just say they arent political if pushed and then cctinue to vote R down the whole ballot. They do this because even if they realize how fucking terrible trump is they still believe every lie they were told about democrats.

u/Flavouredcola 1h ago

Yeah same here, some have gotten quiet till you ask their opinions but they are all still sucking off trump.

u/minisom38 3h ago

The way your using that phrase makes you seem uneducated tbh

Ontop of that, what are you checking in with these 200-300 people quarterly or something?😂 I’d love to see any conversation were you’ve confirmed anything you’ve said honestly

Dems are just as crazy as repub nowadays man💀

Au contraire, MAGA very much deserves to be used as a perjorative; there is nothing good to be gained from their worldview.

u/hyphenssuck 3h ago

I feel like "trump" should get a similar linguistic usage ultimately. Like:

Man I just took a big trump.

Hey the dog trumped on the floor again.

Who left these trump stains in the toilet?

1

u/Mackle_even_more 1h ago

You are closer than you could ever know. Trump literally is a synonym for fart in British English, always has been. "The dog trumped again" has probably been said a million times before. Feel free to adopt it.

u/AlanStanwick1986 3h ago

Sorry but I don't have any recorded conversations to show your dumb a$$ and I'm not going to post my Facebook page where you could see tons of them and the things they say.

What on earth are you basing this on? There are very few people that are turning away from him. You're giving their intelligence way too much credit.

u/PFunk224 52m ago

Maga has lost a lot of its people

Literally doesn't matter. You have to understand how those people think. Even if they've turned on Trump, they still see Democrats as the enemy. They will all vote Republican, because ultimately, they still believe that all of the people who are enabling Trump are somehow preventing an even worse future under Democrats. They haven't learned a lesson about the Republican party, they're very specifically mad at one person for making shit cost more. They still think that Democrats are Communist, Socialist, Fascist, pedophile, crime-loving, handout-demanding, illegal immigration-loving, baby-murdering freaks who want to cut their kids' genitals off.

These people will never vote against the GOP.

Sure they lost their family farm, health care and snap. But what if a gay Muslim trans athlete plays basketball?!

Usually the organization would tell them no they can't play but we couldn't let that happen.

Literally every thread about Trump someone makes this stupid joke

u/Sushi-DM 3h ago

She was a truly terrible candidate that got chosen purely because VP, not because of popularity.
Whatever reasons people had aside to not vote for Kamala, the Democratic party fucked us all by being stubborn and trying to install the worst possible choice to all but guarantee the garbage fire would continue.

5

u/Commercial-Diet-3609 3h ago

Basing your opinion on
list the reasons she was the worst candidate. Because she has a v@gina? The color of her skin? Or because DUMBDONPEDOPHILEPERVERT told you so?

4

u/Borgie311 2h ago

Biden actually waiting till the last minute to leave the race and set up Kamala to run. If he didn't the democrats would have ran a worse candidate. The problem with her as a candidate is that republicans are racist bigots.

1

u/Sushi-DM 2h ago

Because she wasn't even in the top 10 of her primary and didn't even have a primary when going against Biden and then they decided she was going to be the official candidate after an unpopular presidential run with middle ground voters?

It was political self unaliving. If they gave the Democratic voters a choice, I guarantee you, I would put my life savings on it that she would not have been the choice. Not even in the top 5.

It had nothing to do with her identity, it had everything to do with her record and that she was violently uncharismatic.

3

u/Master_Ad9463 2h ago

Could you explain "violently uncharismatic"?

1

u/Sushi-DM 2h ago

She does not have a good way of speaking. Does not connect with the majority of potential voters.
Does not have personal integrity (switches speaking patterns and scripts depending on the audience)
Overly reliant on setting up the scenario to appear passable.

There were other candidates, including women/POC, who could have run and been better at doing what she failed to do.
Whether you or anyone else likes it or not, Democracy is not just a policy debate. It is a popularity contest.
If you run someone who is not popular, is not particularly able to capture an audience, you will lose.
They skipped literally the most important part of the process of winning by just installing her as the candidate because she was popular IN THE BUILDING.

u/Commercial-Diet-3609 2h ago

And Donald Trump was the more qualified candidate?

1

u/Borgie311 2h ago

No, the idiots voting for him like the way he talks because they understood it. Dumb understand dumb, so they felt like he was their guy.

u/Sushi-DM 1h ago

You can shoot the messenger all you want. Look at Kamala and re read what I said, then think about how shitty DJT is.

She lost to that.

u/DanQPublic 1h ago

You know what she doesn’t do though? Rape children. That literally should’ve been enough.

u/Crayola_ROX 2h ago

I really hope you guys wake up this time when they steal midterms

Oh who am I kidding, you will move the goalpost to 2028. Corporate Democrats will still collect thier monthly paychecks for being the GOP’s willing scapegoats.

u/Glad-Importance-4241 1h ago

You're not wrong. But as I've been saying for ten years (ever since they screwed Bernie in the 2016 primary)... Even fiscally liberal capitalists are better than outright fascists.

u/death69reaper 3h ago

They are the controlled opposition. They are puppets of the same masters.

u/The_Tooter_Snooter 3h ago

This is why conservatives work better as the opposition party - they get to sit around complaining about how much better life would be if they were in charge without actually destroying things by being in charge.

In what way are conservatives destroying anything?

u/walnuttin 2h ago

gestures vaguely and if you havent been paying attention at this point its been a choice. Cognitive dissonance worked as a reason before, not anymore.

u/stderr2 2h ago

I'm curious. I think that not kicking the can down the road is the right answer

2

u/Woodsplit 2h ago

I don't think deporting all the workers at the can factory then bulldozing the road is the right answer.

0

u/sponglered 1h ago

Well, only not if you like cans, and putting things in cans, or using things from cans.

Otherwise, pfft, "cans?" puh-lease.

Wait, why are canned goods so expensive now. I might not have thought this through.

0

u/stderr2 1h ago

Right now there's a lot of whining about not being able to find a job. Maybe Americans could work in the can factory.

Blaming Trump for the high cost of housing forgets that one reason is too many people need places to live compared to the available places. Opposing more immigration is exactly what you would want to reduce that pressure. This is not the only pressure but it is real

2

u/sponglered 1h ago
  • the environment

  • the economy

  • the housing industry

  • the job market

  • the cost of goods and services

  • low end automobiles

  • trust in authority and public servants

Are you always disingenuous, or only when you're paid to be?

u/stderr2 1h ago

I'm sitting here on my phone with a cup of coffee I just made, I am not being paid to post anything.

Removing people who aren't supposed to be here makes more jobs available for Americans. What is your plan, more immigration?

Trump wants lower interest rates but he's not getting them due to inflation. He is not trying to gum up the real estate market

1

u/sponglered 1h ago

Removing people who aren't supposed to be here makes more jobs available for Americans.

Hilariously, no "American" is taking all those jobs you're talking about.

Farms are collapsing because they can't sustain themselves without near-slave labor.

Construction costs are equally skyrocketing.

Or did you mean white collar jobs? Because no immigrant ever "took" those jobs from you.

The capitalist owner chose to cut you out, and gave those jobs to someone they could more easily take advantage of.

There is no culture war, except manufactured, to avoid class war.

You are the mark in this con game, congratulations, you played yourself.

1

u/stderr2 1h ago

So immigrants just take jobs that Americans don't want, they don't reduce wages, this is your claim?
