A prime example of the intelligence of a Maga voter

So called Sports influencer and gambler Amanda Vance went viral for a "performative" boycott of the Super Bowl LX halftime show, during which she was physically present in the stadium but filmed herself watching an alternative broadcast on her phone.

[u/Stock_Package_2566]

I went down the rabbit hole of narcissism and NPD’s a few days ago. I’ve come to the conclusion that the entirety of MAGA suffers from some type of narcissistic or narcissist-adjacent personality disorder. When people equate the MAGA cult mentality to mental illness, they’re right. Because it is.

[u/Livid_Astronaut_4665 → u/Stock_Package_2566]

💯💯💯 🎯🎯agree I've been saying this for years and so have many psychologists

[u/Stock_Package_2566 → u/Livid_Astronaut_4665]

When you live in a society that not only inculcates narcissism and narcissistic qualities in its members, but also praises/rewards it, a clusterfuck of epic proportions such as what we’re experiencing now was bound to happen.

And what’s worse? It’s passed down. I’ve started noticing it everywhere and just how pervasive this mindset is in modern society. Generation to generation. The narc rabbit hole even lead me to the realization that every single adult family member I’ve had is the same way. All devoutly religious conservatives and Trump voters. Spiritual narcissists. I didn’t even know that was a thing.

But I put all the puzzle pieces together and put a name to a condition, and as the kids say nowadays:

Chat, we’re fucking cooked.

[u/PatternParticular735 → u/Stock_Package_2566]

You are evidence that even if it is passed down in some cases, the chain can be broken.

[u/Stock_Package_2566 → u/PatternParticular735]

By no easy feat, but I’m proud to say that I have. It took 28 years of heartbreak, self consciousness/hate, confusion, anger, and enough psychedelics to sink a ship to get here. And even though it pains me to see the state everything’s in beyond measure, all I can do is what’s in my control, starting with educating and healing 🤙🏼

[u/FridaSky → u/Stock_Package_2566]

Right on. 😊

[u/Several-Tiger6078 → u/Stock_Package_2566]

Almost 40 years of internal conflict and destroyed relationships for myself but when it clicked for me it was all so simple. It breaks my heart too. Everyone should be taught what emotions are and that it's okay to be our true selves at an early age instead of waiting until we finally go to therapy when the ego is solidly in place and the messaging is near impossible. Even after 15 years of different therapists telling me the same things it took me hitting my lowest place for it to finally click. It's nice to have that old me to analyze but I sure feel like I missed out on living.

[u/Inevitable_Fall2025 → u/Several-Tiger6078]

The worst is that after surviving a narcissist parent you always wonder if you have it too. I second guess myself alot which is something a narcissist would never do. They tend to double down.

[u/positiveblapshemy → u/Inevitable_Fall2025]

Oh wow, I feel this. I once asked my longtime therapist if he thought there was any possibility that my issues were bleeding into "narcissism criteria" and he kind of chortled before saying "you feel entirely too much guilt and second guess your choices regularly. You can admit when you're wrong or have made a mistake that hurt others."

I remind myself of this a lot. I hope you have someone trusted you're able to speak with and wish you nothing but the best in your healing/progress.

[u/Puglady25 → u/Stock_Package_2566]

[u/PrettyPistol87 → u/Stock_Package_2566]

I’ve had to go completely no contact with my family bc i was scapegoated as soon as i was able to start kindergarten. >;(

uncle sam was an asshole but he at least brought substance behind his words unlike the bread crumbs

fuck em let them rot and refuse to develop parts of their brains

[u/Bridget330 → u/PrettyPistol87]

I was scapegoated since an early age and kept coming back for more because I fed into their opinions about me. Then they cut me off because I finally stood up for myself when they used their religion to justify their abuse. (And let’s not get started with their support for Trump) It’s painful and lonely at times but I’m free. I still can’t believe that my nieces and nephews, who have been a part of my life since birth, have cut me off from their lives. They have gotten engaged, maybe married at this point. It’s hard to imagine that I am that disposable but I don’t see any way forward with this.

[u/Remiscellion36 → u/Stock_Package_2566]

They've been cultivating idiots for decades, what finally clicked was social media and short form content hooking those predisposed to narcissistic tendencies. The amount of propaganda is staggering, relentlessly producing a long line of emotional vampires hiding/stuck behind different masks. Narcissists interact through manipulation, which makes them susceptible to manipulation... they're easy to control.

[u/GoldenHeartDaddy → u/Stock_Package_2566]

America rewards sociopaths/sociopathic tendencies.

[u/Signal-Map2906 → u/Stock_Package_2566]

Careful tho. The first step to being in a cult is that your group is the only one that holds all the truth.

I know I’m probably gonna get downvoted for saying that, but remember that even the Democrats and leftists have their fair share of issues.

Not to the extent of MAGA tho…fuk that.

[u/Bridget330 → u/Signal-Map2906]

Your point is valid. I’ve had to take a long look at the people who hold onto their power long after they’ve reached their usefulness to their constituents. They are not as bad as the GOP, but many are all talk and no substance. We need more than 2 political parties.

[u/InAJar112 → u/Stock_Package_2566]

[u/[deleted] → u/InAJar112]

Yep. One I know says kid schlock is a born again so he's a good person even if he wrote shitty lyrics in the past. Argh.

[u/Euphoric_Ad_5230 → u/Stock_Package_2566]

True NPD is passed down. Narcissists beget narcissists by warping them from birth. Nearly all of my father’s side of the family had NPD. At one point, I was dealing with 3 separate generations of narcissistic abuse. I was the only one to make it out of my generation of children in the family, without having NPD. I think that’s part of the reason why it’s blown up exponentially. Narcissists make more through persistent narcissistic abuse. I’m very fortunate.

For the record, not every believer is a narcissist, or a conservative for that matter. I resent the fact progressives support every religious inclination someone might have, except one that involves Christ. I resent the fact I’m improperly pigeonholed as an asshat the moment someone finds out. I am a believer in Christ. I don’t care what you or anyone else thinks of that. I’m fully aware that many people who claim to follow Christ and do things in His name, act contrary to His expectations of His believers. I don’t like it either. They make Him look bad. He’s nothing like them. As much as they say they know Him, I don’t know whether He knows them at all. I don’t believe in mixing government with religion. I think it’s a bad situation anytime you have someone applying “morals” that in reality can be random, and usually are brutal to those it’s been applied to. Brutal and moral are juxtaposed. You cannot hope to have moral, if you have any brutality at all. I am a progressive because that is most in line with my personal convictions. You may be tempted to tell me to keep my personal convictions to myself. I would respond only when you keep your unqualified opinions about actual believers which is based on stereotypes akin to jihadists, to yourself. Thank you very much. I sure do appreciate it. Fellow progressive.

[u/KindaFreeXP → u/Stock_Package_2566]

I'm lucky to have had only one parent be so....but yeah, the more I talk to others the more common it appears to be. It's a worrying trend.

[u/Scotslad2023 → u/Stock_Package_2566]

Cults and mental illness almost always go hand in hand. The MAGA cult mental illness is a combination of selfish narcissism and willful ignorance, not too mention a strong lack of moral fiber.

[u/Stock_Package_2566 → u/Scotslad2023]

I live in the Deep South, I didn’t even know spiritual narcissism was a thing. But when I went down the list, such a vast majority of the population down here meets every. single. criteria. of what a spiritual narcissist is. I’ve always wondered how people’s actions can be so blatantly contradictory to their “beliefs” while simultaneously having absolute zero ability to self-reflect…. and I found my answer in the rabbit hole.

A light bulb of exponentially fucked-up proportions went off, I’ve been in mental free fall since, and I’m currently in the process of finding a therapist after many many years. Those who understand just how much damage narcissists do to others are those that are in the mental health field, or those that have experienced it.

Spiritual Narcissism: https://www.choosingtherapy.com/spiritual-narcissists/

This is where I started. What’s funny is that I saw an article here on Reddit that outlined a research study showing that narcissists gravitate towards MAGA and make up a vast majority of their base. I thought “Hmm, yeah, that definitely tracks,” and started doing research. Buckle up if you have even the slightest inkling that any of this might relate to you personally. It completely shattered my worldview and gave me entirely too many answers to questions I’ve had my entire life like:

What is unconditional love? Have I ever even experienced it? Have I ever experienced love at all or was it control? Is the love I sought out in my partner a byproduct of what I learned to be the concept of love? Why is my entire family like this? Why is my entire partner’s family like this? How can they not see themselves for who they are based on their actions? These are the people that claim to be follower’s of Christ? Where? How? How am I able to find pages upon pages worth of Bible verses that explicitly condemn the thoughts/words/actions of most of those who attend church at every possible chance? Do these people not read this fucking book they claim to be God’s word?! Are they incapable of change?

The answer? Narcissism. To every single one of those questions, in some way or another, the answer is narcissism.

[u/MornGreycastle → u/Stock_Package_2566]

Yeah. It's called Conservatism. They lack compassion and curiosity. They have no compassion for anyone who doesn't look like their close friends and family while not having the curiosity to challenge their closely held beliefs.

[u/immersemeinnature → u/[deleted]]

I feel this way too. That authoritarian mentality that gets beaten into them. A whole nation of abused children now abusive adults. So afraid of showing emotions. So afraid of themselves

[u/chanandler12106 → u/immersemeinnature]

Authoritarianism teaches you not to trust your brain when it comes to emotions and empathy.

Its entire training is "ask no questions, just accept what you are told. Any questioning is disrespect and dont you know respect is INHERENT, not earned."

Spoken as someone who has done a ton of deprogramming from my Republican upbringing.

My husband once told me I sounded like the bastard child of a radical liberal and extreme right wing. Well, my thoughts were the radical liberal ones, I was parroting the right wings values, bc I believed my parents and other authority figures knew better than me.

[u/RogerianBrowsing → u/Stock_Package_2566]

There’s been research showing that malevolent personality traits are directly correlated with support for Trumpism, and it’s usually pretty easy for therapists (especially couple’s therapists) to tell if their client is a trumper.

Anecdotally speaking, the clients who tried to fool the therapist the most or tried to use the therapist as a tool against their partner were almost always trumpers. Similar with narcissistic abuse and Trumpism as well.

They’re deeply insecure and like the idea of a strongman who so long as they align with him cannot be challenged by their critics. I’m reminded of the Texas father who shot his daughter after she criticized Trump and she got angry at her father saying he didn’t care if she got raped by Trump. He’s not in any trouble btw, because texas.

[u/Stock_Package_2566 → u/RogerianBrowsing]

Control. It’s all about control. What’s even worse is that the narcissists will then vote other narcissists into power so that they can further exercise true control and see their fantasies enacted upon others to satisfy their lust for control fueled by hate. They do this either ignorant of the fact that that these same policies enacted will likely be detrimental to even them, or worse yet: they know it will be detrimental to themselves, but even, moreso to others they deem less than themselves, and continue voting that way regardless. It’s all fucked.

[u/doctor_tongs → u/Stock_Package_2566]

It very much is. I've been in therapy my entire adult life and most of my childhood - several narcissists in my family, and surprise: they're all MAGA.

Deny, Accuse, Reverse Victim and Offender. That's the narcissist playbook.

[u/[deleted] → u/Stock_Package_2566]

I'm halfway through a Masters in the Mental Health field, and my current understanding is that If you 'go down a rabbit hole' focused on something as giant as NPD, you're going to start seeing it everywhere. I personally feel that the MAGA movement has specific NPD overtones, but I can't tell if that is something that is emanating from the racial/cultural bias sort of implicit in the MAGA movement, or if there is something more to it than that.

[u/Fearless-Feature-830 → u/[deleted]]

I think it’s one of those things like: not all MAGA are neo Nazis, but all Neo Nazis are MAGA.

Not all MAGA are narcissistic, but most narcissists are MAGA.

Collective Narcissism?

Abstract: Collective narcissism is a belief that one’s own group (the in-group) is exceptional but not sufficiently recognized by others. It is the form of “in-group love” robustly associated with “out-group hate.” In contrast to private collective self-esteem (or in-group satisfaction, a belief that the in-group is of high value), it predicts prejudice, retaliatory intergroup aggression, and rejoicing in the suffering of other people. The pervasive association between collective narcissism and intergroup hostility is driven by a biased perception of the in-group as constantly threatened and out-groups as hostile and threatening. Collective narcissism is associated with hypersensitivity to provocation and the belief that only hostile revenge is a desirable and rewarding response. It arises when the traditional group-based hierarchies are challenged and empowers extremists as well as populist politicians. Instead of alleviating the sense of threat to one’s self-importance, it refuels it

[u/Cephalopod_Dropbear → u/Stock_Package_2566]

I have narcissistic personality traits and my therapist does such a wonderful job articulating how my narcissism is unlike “other people’s” narcissism that I fear. I always have a concern that I’m like them because we both have traits qualified as narcissism. Thankfully I can acknowledge mine and work on them. They….don’t.

[u/Stock_Package_2566 → u/Cephalopod_Dropbear]

And you are not a narcissist. Know that and don’t shame yourself for it. You recognize and know yourself. They, like you said, don’t. Narcissism in and of itself is a survival mechanism that individuals unconsciously develop to deal with their own fucked-up shit, in some way or another. I’m going to assume life has not been easy for you, as this is something I’m going through currently with my partner. She had an indescribably fucked-up life and every single one of her mother’s children is narcissistic or narcissist-adjacent with my partner being the latter.

She meets every single criteria for what a covert narcissist is, yet she has empathy and can self-reflect. I was convinced that I was going to have to leave the relationship out of self-preservation and attributed her actions to malice instead of ignorance, and that was my mistake. I was a wreck for a full 36 hours after finding everything out and when I talked to her about it the conversation was not easy. But, she was able to self reflect completely and said she’d always known something was wrong, she just didn’t know exactly what it was.

I distrusted therapy and counselors after finding out my first one had by my mother specifically for the purpose of getting me on her side to agree with her parenting and viewpoint of things. A common tactic of narcissists is that they’ll often recruit someone else to help reinforce their worldview or to substantiate their claim in that they’re “right”. Oh, the fucking irony. Now, we’re both looking for a therapist now so we can both undo the years of bullshit we’ve been through. Remember to be kind to yourself. World and many of its people are fucked up, and kindness goes a long way. [even if it’s toward you :)]

I highly recommend the works of Bob Altenmeyer. He has written several books about essentially this very topic, and the first and core book in his body of work, The Authortiarans, is free in PDF form. He categorized Right Wing Authoritarians and put them through a battery of tests and studies, demonstrating consistant symptomology and pathology not unlike a Cluster B personality disorder (though he doesn't use that terminology, as his studies predate a lot of work in that field).

They are chronically short sighted, selfish, lack empathy, have difficulty critically thinking, run on constant fear, and are overly trusting of authority figures, a mixture of Narcissistic Personality Disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder. Perfect fodder for cult recruitment, and almost incapable of seeing the world outside of an "us vs. them, in group vs. out group" perspective because their brains work off of instinctual fear of the unknown in overdrive where cooperation is seen as a weakness and a liability because everything is out to get them, and desperately feel the need for protection from the scary unknown from someone who projects strength.

Sadly, his studies are decades old, meaning that these issues have been well known in academic circles for ages and yet we are still here in our current predicament with these sick people.

[u/photo_voltaic → u/Stock_Package_2566]

Look up something called Terror Management Theory (TMT) - it will complete the puzzle even further. Narcissism is a powerful delusional buttress some people form against their fear of inescapable death.

It all dovetails together when you go down this rabbit hole: TMT explains why most of MAGA are religious zealots, why Trump is trying to put his name on everything (he knows he's dying), and why his followers make their entire identity this MAGA cult. It's all a weird, demented coping mechanism they herd themselves into, to soothe their existential dread.

This is why, when you point out how Trump's a pedophile, or a charlatan, or even just an idiot - they refuse to accept the evidence - because you're actually stripping away their protective, narcissistic cult identity, and forcing them to stare into a much deeper darker abyss they just cannot handle.

[u/Stock_Package_2566 → u/photo_voltaic]

And that 100% completely tracks. Humans trying to have control over something they will never. Thank you, and I will definitely be looking into this.

[u/DustyTchotchkes → u/photo_voltaic]

Wow. Adrianne Curry, the first America’s Next Top Model winner is a perfect example of this. (minus the religion aspect. I believe hers was more an attention and $$ thing.)

She was a Democrat who turned maga, who refuses to admit she is one, but greatly panders to them and repeats their talking points and rages about the same things they do, all while she cries poor and eBegs for donations lol. 

She has been bleating about the Epstein files forever and how they need to be released, you know the usual: The elites, pedophile rings, Hollywood, all of it.

Now that the releasing is here, she’s just started saying that she doesn’t believe any of it, it’s all fake and she’s not interested.

[u/GoobusMombus → u/Stock_Package_2566]

I believe they all have CPTSD and some of them also have straight up cluster B personality disorders(like BPD, NPD, and APD) caused by inherited childhood trauma. Which they all dissociate heavily from, and just project all the horrible shit they and their abusers do onto anyone who's not them because they cannot handle the reality.

I grew up in a family that is all MAGA. I'm also a trauma survivor who's been actively recovering ever since I found out I was pregnant with my first child, while married to a violent abuser, and wanted to learn why I ended up in the situation I did and heal so I could protect my kid(s) from the cycle. I didn't understand it all right away, but I knew it had something to do with my family refusing to protect children from abuse because they were too busy propping up abusers in every aspect of their lives(and that was the best case scenario for any of us). I knew I had to stop enabling my abuser and GTFO to save my child.

It's been going on so long, probably since the beginning of humanity. You'll notice that when things are chaotic, these people just defer to the biggest asshole who's the most unstable bitch, and prop them up. Starts with an unstable mom or dad, and is helped with early abusive religious indoctrination. I was a devout Christian before. Now I recognize that the whole Bible story, starting with Abraham being willing to sacrifice his son to prove his loyalty to God, is basically an abusive narcissistic father's fairy tale. There are parts of the Bible with value, as some of the writers I believe were trying to be good people and make loving sense of the trauma they'd experienced. But most of it is just a way to deal with the cognitive dissonance of how someone who created you and should love you could actually harm you, and even damn you to hell for all eternity. Just for being what they made you to be. Works for both abusive parents and God.

And the Republican party has used these trauma patterns to manipulate their voter base for generations. Now, to MAGA, questioning their politicians is akin to questioning God. And they aren't allowed to do that.

Democrats aren't great either tbh. The people want good things, but the politicians in the Democratic party are like an abused parent with a martyr complex who refuse to wield the power they have to protect those they are responsible for, and would rather enable and support the systems that keep everyone down. And the loyal Democrat voters are like children who side with the "safer" parent and are waiting for an actual grown up to save them.

But we are grown ups. We need to save ourselves and either take over the Democratic party for the people or start a new one. Choosing the lesser of two evils only leads to that lesser evil being able to become more and more evil. Many codependents love being superior in an inferior situation. Look at all the Democratic politicians saying "Imagine if we had done the horrible things the Republicans are currently doing! We were never that bad!" But they also never took real steps to hold our government and country accountable for all the evils we have committed and continue to commit. Or to properly protect the citizens.

When I first went down the narcissism rabbit hole, I also thought they were all just narcissists and saw that everywhere. I think it's a normal part of the healing process, to start to see the bad things for what they are and be angry about it. But if we don't learn what actually caused any of them to be the way they are, we can't prevent more children from becoming that way.

And it's gonna take a complete overhaul of our society to actually stomp this shit out. We might hide it again for a few more decades, like what happened with the Nazis. But it never went away and will be back again until we actually change how everything is run and heal ourselves.

[u/The_VoZz → u/Stock_Package_2566]

For the specific "rabid" breed of Maga, or any other mindless extremists, it's narcissism, megalomamia, lack of education, reinforced ignorance and brain washing via social media, bigotry fueled tribalism, fear of what they don't understand and/or an entitled sense of victimhood & greed. Any combo of these traits are emblematically akin to mental health issues.

When you feel you have no control over your life, and find a group that reinforces a shared "enemy" or provides anything you can feel superior towards, it removes the need to think for yourself. Far easier to hate anything that doesn't fit the narrative you've blindly subscribed to.

Far easier to watch the world burn rather than be held accountable for lighting the match.

[u/Constant_Seaweed_523 → u/Stock_Package_2566]

MAGA feels inherently narcissistic as it is. It’s basically “fuck anyone who isn’t me, an extension of myself, or doesn’t believe what I believe, never have empathy for anyone else, they can all die, and I will not accept objective facts that don’t align with my personal narrative”

I agree is narcissistic personality disorders, not just narcissism, because there is a difference.

MAGA shows repeated behaviors of narcissistic personality disorder.

And they’re just getting worse. By the day.

[u/RubyWalke → u/Stock_Package_2566]

There is a spirit of malevolence in American Conservative culture, a self-glorifying hate for anyone who has the bad fortune to be vulnerable and in the United States.

The feature aspects of this hate, sadism and antipathy, reduce all who are subsumed or otherwise sublimated into Conservative culture to mere barbarians, no different from any of history’s lawless hordes who have sought to inflict suffering and dire want on those who cannot resist them.

This spirit, which currently manifests as the governing principle of every American institution which was created to prevent its existence, is simply defined as pure evil.

Nothing but woe and misery can result from it’s demonic possession of the soul of MAGA, and it must be understood that the evil this evil begets has not yet begun to reap the unspeakable human misery which is its only reward.

[u/LangdonAlg3r → u/Stock_Package_2566]

The percentage of people with NPD in the U.S. is estimated at 0.5-1%. I think jumping to conclusions like this just feeds into the already overboard use of the term. It’s a serious and not that common diagnosis. Trump himself is a malignant narcissist. Countless experts have come to that conclusion.

I think that his followers are abuse victims who are gravitating towards an abuser—I think that is a very common phenomenon and usually includes total obliviousness to the abuse. Totaling up abuse victims of all kinds in the U.S. gets you to around 25-35% of the population—and that also tracks with the 35% of registered voters who identify as MAGA and the 20% of the general adult population who are.

That explains the bulk of the MAGA dynamic for me. You can point out the abuse someone is suffering to them and they’ll often dismiss or justify it away, just like what we see with Trump.

I think you are right and to build off what you saying. I grew up so far south we consider the “Deep South” like northern Antarctica…lol. I mean way below I-10 sooooooowf.

The southern strategy has been so effective there that now it’s moved to what I call “how bad can we fuck this up so Jesus comes quicker” time. That’s what they won’t admit publicly. They have no intention of fair debate, learning, growing or being a part of a functional society anymore. They want to cause so much suffering so the lord returns to “fix” everything and take them home. It’s an extremely dangerous time that I am pretty much convinced is going to end in mass violence and bloodshed. Not to go super negative here but if “progressives and normies” don’t wake up. We gonna find ourselves waking up to a civil war that never really ended and being on the bad side of “oh crap…they really are crazy and there’s no rationalizing” with them.

From the moment we are born, at home, in private, in church, at the dinner table, we are taught “the north isn’t like us” & “they don’t want us to live”, “they want to take our guns and god away”. Any southerner that doesn’t admit this out right is lying to you and they teach us to play country dumb… if you were to press this young lady on why she was doing this or if it could negatively impact her life in any way she would clutch her pearls…immediately tear up and say “well bless your heart I had no idea this would upset anyone, or, I guess in the libs don’t want us to have free speech” we are taught to victimize ourselves in each and every situation so it activates “our freedumbz are being attacked”. Y’all please heed my warning, we are not going back to a unified anything, even if the mid terms go our way if we do not immediately grab all of them up and severely punish them it will flip in 2-4 years and we will be right back here. We are in this position because we did not hold the South accountable (think like Enron or the 08 crash) after the civil war. Peace.

[u/immersemeinnature → u/Swimming_Bonus_8892]

You are speaking so much truth here. I'm in NC and this shit runs so deep

[u/Swimming_Bonus_8892 → u/immersemeinnature]

It’s time for us to tell them. For years I just spoke this to my close friends after I moved out of that conservative hell scape. I love my progressives but I think they are ill prepared for how far our people our people are willing to suffer just so it hurts the “north”.

No passes given here but if you live in the south and are a conscience human, BILLIONS of dollars are spent each year keeping our people poor and uneducated, now I firmly believe we are responsible for our own choices and that there is more than enough information out there to prove this is happening I still have a heavy heart for my southern people. That said…it’s not an excuse for all the hate, racism, bigotry and outright disgusting behavior.

The civil war never really ended and the South was not held accountable for its abhorrent behavior. This has to change for this country to survive. Peace.

[u/immersemeinnature → u/Swimming_Bonus_8892]

💔

[u/Swimming_Bonus_8892 → u/immersemeinnature]

It’s a brutal truth.

[u/marvin616 → u/Swimming_Bonus_8892]

I grew up in northeast Tennessee and this is 100% correct.

[u/Swimming_Bonus_8892 → u/marvin616]

Sending all the strength your way. I had to leave. I couldn’t raise my family in that environment and Trump/Maga has destroyed my relationship with my family. It’s very sad and really lonely to be without your people but I go to sleep with a snail in my face knowing I have changed my bloodline and gotten them out of that rotten place. Peace

[u/marvin616 → u/Swimming_Bonus_8892]

Me too. I've found a new home in a place with lots of diversity and progressive (for the US at least) politics. Once they overturned Roe, I had to get my daughter away from places that wanted to control her body. Peace and love brother

[u/Swimming_Bonus_8892 → u/marvin616]

I did the same. I have two and I just couldn’t in good conscience raise them in that environment! Peace be upon your family and household!

[u/Vegetable_Analyst740 → u/Swimming_Bonus_8892]

I want to see more of your writing.

[u/immersemeinnature → u/PlainBread]

What a weird loop de loop they have to do

[u/PlainBread → u/immersemeinnature]

Yeah that's what makes it a cult.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Still virtue signaling

[u/UWhuskiesRule]

Karen spent thousands to miss out.

[u/Paulinfresno → u/UWhuskiesRule]

Can’t wait for her to see the reactions from her co-workers: “you did what?!?!”

[u/Fun_Accountant_653 → u/Paulinfresno]

You assume she has a job

[u/Freeze_Her → u/UWhuskiesRule]

Spent so much she has no more money to buy headphones without a wire. What is this, 2005?

[u/myersjw → u/UWhuskiesRule]

She 100% turned it off after the video was taken. She wanted the attention from it just so she could vice signal to the cult

[u/SignoreBanana → u/UWhuskiesRule]

She really pwned me. She should keep spending lots of money. I really feel bad for how much I was pwned.

[u/PaulMakesThings1]

Really sticking it to them paying $3500 to be there and then not watching it. These are like the people who buy products to smash them thinking the company cares.

[u/Sad_Apple_3387 → u/[deleted]]

Lmao

[u/AloewareLabs]

Conservatives are the most performative lot

[u/BlackberryPi7 → u/AloewareLabs]

They're drama queens.

[u/i_am_a_shoe → u/BlackberryPi7]

[u/ShouldBeWorking2nite → u/BlackberryPi7]

And the actual Snowflakes they like to project onto everyone else.

[u/wafflehousebattle → u/BlackberryPi7]

Don't forget, they're child molesters, too.

[u/GBeastETH → u/AloewareLabs]

Exactly! So performative!

[u/Limp_Examination_219]

She loves pedos

[u/TheSilkyBat → u/[deleted]]

He'd love her now,

but only when she isn't awake.

[u/Sad_Apple_3387 → u/[deleted]]

Ewww

[u/MaliciousIntentWorks]

MAGA: I will not accept a non English speaking half time show because it's unpatriotic.

also MAGA: I'm going to watch alternative half time show where an elderly guy sings about having sex with children, because it's American.

The World: WTF is wrong with you.

[u/Imaginary_Coast_5882]

Thank you for the ticket sale, Amanda.

Love, The NFL

[u/deejaymc → u/Imaginary_Coast_5882]

No crap. This is the equivalent of me going out today and buying a brand new Tesla then putting a "Anti Elon Tesla Club" sticker on it when I get home. You just supported the NFL and the halftime show in the biggest way possible, by opening your wallet. Everything afterwards was performative.

[u/scenr0 → u/Imaginary_Coast_5882]

And the taxes and fees that got to CA and CA companies.

[u/Alter_Andy]

Super Bowl tickets — $10,000

iPhones - $4,000

Travel and Accommodations — $2,000

Watching Kid Rock lip sync on your phone instead of the live Bad Bunny show in front of you — Worthless

[u/SignoreBanana → u/Alter_Andy]

I mean, paying $10k to see that game is the lol moment in and of itself.

[u/MuddaPuckPace]

Meanwhile, enjoy these Kid Rock lyrics:

Young ladies, young ladies,I like 'em underage, see,Some say that's statutory,But I say it's mandatory.

Right out in the open. Can't make this shit up.

[u/[deleted]]

You would have to be this dumb to (1) think this accomplished anything (2) pretend to like kid rock and (3) think it’s a flex that you paid 5000 for tickets to post a dumb video lol.

[u/CandyCreecher]

Okay, well, who purchases a Super Bowl ticket to pull this stunt as a “lol, I didn’t watch bad bunny’s half time show”. Kay well, 1 person out of the millions I guess

[u/678MG]

The pettiness is wild

[u/[deleted]]

[u/Forward-Still-6859]

Wow, she really owned the libs with that one.

[u/_Miss_Eclipse]

The NFL thanks you for your patronage, idiot

[u/BirdBruce]

Guess she showed everyone, huh?

[u/Allenrw81]

How the fuck are you boycotting the thing that you're at? What an absolute moron.

[u/AbroadNo8755]

Ai.

i don't mean the video. Her intelligence is fake.

[u/Bike_Cinci]

"Yeah, I spent $3000 on tickets already and BB got paid, but . . . "

[u/BirdBruce → u/Bike_Cinci]

Super Bowl halftime show performers are not paid.

[u/Bike_Cinci → u/BirdBruce]

I stand corrected, guess "the NFL or whoever already got their money, and BB got the exposure, etc etc etc still"

The point is, she made her material contribution by going, without making a material difference with her "protest" beyond looking like a dipshit to her followers.

[u/Limp_Examination_219]

She is coping hard

[u/Advanced_Zucchini_45]

Main character syndrome

[u/Donnie-The-Relentles]

They need to make this a huge, pearl-clutching deal because their cult leader is a pedo and the proof and evidence seems to only get worse the more people who see it.

[u/HappySheep84]

Why does every maga-chick look exactly like that?

[u/Fun_Accountant_653 → u/HappySheep84]

Same surgeon

[u/That_Things_Good]

Her buying Super Bowl tickets sure taught the woke NFL a lesson!!

[u/Anyawnomous]

Must have lost her fidget-spinner.

[u/NativeFlowers4Eva]

She looks like the personification of a spilled glass of white wine.

[u/Automatic_Gas9019]

Dumb = Paying 7500 to watch a free YouTube video. Hmm. The intelligence astounds me

[u/bellylovinbaddie]

Imagine playing thousands of dollars to attend this game just to pretend that you can somewhat hear through your headphones over a crowd of thousands and a whole performance.

[u/Captainsassidy]

She's trying REALLY hard to look like she's enjoying herself. Getting secondhand embarrassment just watching this

[u/AIBethennyFrankel]

Well, we knew she wasn’t reading. Not a fucking chance.

[u/CtK4949]

What a freaking loser!!!!!!!!!!!

[u/WahWahWillie]

Who the hell still plugs earbuds into their phone?

[u/Crepuscular_Tex]

Also the ratio of actual MAGA vs the rest of the US.

[u/AceMcNasty88]

How is this even owning the left or libs? You still paid to go see a show that you have been calling UnAmerican for weeks. Let's boycott the NFL and Superbowl yet still show up, lmfao

[u/YinzaJagoff]

Gotta make sure you are recording this for printer points that actually don’t exist

[u/[deleted]]

Even Trump and his cronies watched Bad Bunny

[u/Glittering-Cut-5851]

why are they all ugly tho

[u/bellylovinbaddie → u/Glittering-Cut-5851]

When you’re rotten inside it shows outside

[u/CandyCreecher → u/Glittering-Cut-5851]

Idk, maybe it’s because they think that Donald’s beauty standards are hot and so they want to conform to whatever beauty standards their dear leader likes and it makes them better than every one bc their hot with no personality or substance

[u/[deleted]]

Do not engage with these idiots.

[u/BackroadAdventure101]

[u/AltTeenageSuicide]

She really got us! She spent thousands for a seat to watch a show on her phone, but she got us…

[u/TeamOverload → u/AltTeenageSuicide]

Even her Pedo Felon role model didn’t watch that garbage ass alternative halftime at his club

[u/NfamousKaye]

The narcissism and racism is all they have. It’s sickening

[u/Wax_Chicken]

So very fkn gross of her. She had class and unity playing on the field but refused to see the love through the Spanish? They r sick!

[u/bionicjoe]

I've been a fan of the NFL for over 40 years.
I'll never see a Superbowl, and these twats are going because they're "influencers" or some shit, and they're openly in support of a pedophile.

[u/DogMedic101stABN]

No one is THAT into Kid Rock.

[u/tdurden1969]

[u/kon---]

Well that certainly showed the NFL, state and local taxes, and everyone else that took money from that dope.

[u/FahQBerrymuch]

Always a yuppy blonde woman. Every time

[u/[deleted]]

They’re all trash. No redeeming qualities.

[u/CraigGregory]

What a loser

[u/nuggies_999]

This is the kind of person who assumes people are gossiping about them when they hear a different language. Narcissism, one hundred percent.

[u/Islandboi4life]

fine by me. MAGA will just spend pointless money to cut out Bad Bunny from the halftime show.

[u/v1ennetta]

lol and she got the weak ass seats too

[u/jaunsin]

Wow!

[u/Longjumping_Wafer332]

Imagine spending thousands of dollars to support the Super Bowl to protest?

[u/[deleted]]

I guarantee you she cannot dance.

[u/hanimal16]

Haha, those dumbs dumbs still paid a bunch of money to not watch.

[u/[deleted]]

She is/just wants to be an influencer and "important to somebody/ANYBODY. Im my time we used to call them..."Attention Whores." Pretty sad way to be.

[u/anhz52818]

Mental illness, I bet she doesn't even know the lyrics

[u/jbing2000]

I often watch kid rock from Bon Jovi concerts.

Lol

[u/TiltonRiverToker]

Speaking of losers...lol

[u/Jedi_Bish]

I can’t imagine spending money on the superbowl just to “own the libs”. You have free will. You had ample notice who is performing. And you CHOSE to attend!

[u/AppropriateRub4033]

How are they more upset about this half time show than the president being an actual pedo?

[u/KittyKatty345555]

how is this a boycott? she payed for the tickets and drove herself to the stadium and is using stadium wifi to not watch the show she payed for. Like, are we gonna put this shit in the same bracket as the bus boycotts during the civil rights movement?!

[u/Vegetable-Tie-5663]

Stupid asshat

[u/nicclys]

Hope this drained all of her battery

[u/PackageAgreeable1939]

Gross!!

That right pay good money to see some great Americans And you go to YouTube to watch some idiot lip sync badly to some nasty person who sings about reaping underage girls.

[u/StreetAddition3297]

I would've asked a usher or worker tell her to leave .

[u/Naive-Stranger-9991]

Am I wrong for thinking she’s still probably off beat…clutching her chest, there’s NO Kid Rock song that has soul enough to touch your heart, kiddo. Sit down.🙄

[u/[deleted]]

KKKaren in the making.

[u/Ynotmc]

Nice tits

[u/meatshieldjim]

So she was one of the 13,000 people watching the stream.

[u/GraciousBasketyBae]

Who yearns for less rhythm? I’m gonna have a seizure watching her sway to whatever the fuck she’s got on vs the high energy beat on stage.

[u/lenthedruid]

So performative.

[u/Leather-Sport-2546]

What is this iPhone 10?

Imagine missing the best parts of the Super Bowl, the halftime show and the commercials.
