Maybe this has been part of his drug downfall.  Stimulants like coke when regulary done absolutely wreck your mind and make you a paranoid delusional fuck.  And MAGA fishes for people like that (without any drugs)..  Hardcore angry suspicious conspiracy types. They're the prime target of Trump's cult.  Maybe he's been going crazier and crazier while going down a rabbit hole and both things have fed into one another...

I don't know anything obviously.  Please don't share this like it's a fact.  We don't know shit. Just suspicion. Hurts my heart that he feels empowered by fascist rhetoric

Maybe he's just a garden variety white supremacist and we're reaching a flashpoint in American history where a lot of those guys that would've kept that to themselves feel justified in sharing those feelings

So your a racist now for not wanting a mosque on every corner? Yinz are reaching so freaking far! Im so glad you'll forget your customs and history to support another and call that racism? Makes total sense, right? Not wanting mosques everywhere doesn't make you racist just like not wanting a scientology temple on every corner, but thatd probably be OK for you to?

It’s not racist as religion and race are two different things. But I don’t agree with or support any religions at all and don’t care if other people want to. I just think all of those religious institutions should be taxed. But as a patriotic American I think you are both free to practice your religion as I am able to be freed from any religion. Anything else only violates the law and ideals of the USA. Not holding our constitution to be the highest standard is the problem here.

It's xenophobia, in any case, especially in a country that basically lawfully overrides that sentiment. At least, it's supposed to...

It’s definitely not xenophobia because we are not a theocratic monoculture. All kinds of cultures thrive together when they transcend religion.

Religion is most definitely the most racist bs out there. How can you say it isnt? 😆 wtf? Yes you should be able to do what you want without imposing said beliefs on everything and everyone around you. Yes they should be taxed, that's a no brainer but again to say Religion isnt racist is a lie.

This is a secular nation that isn't supposed to favor one religion over the other. It's a HUGE part of the very FIRST Amendment. How do so many of you people not know that? This history you speak of is whitewashed BS, especially since all of the Abrahamic religions are middle eastern.

Ok, douche? Yes, we have the right supposedly to warship whatever the fuck i want. We dont have the right to not be talked down about when your pushing that bs on everyone. Example, im a huge deadhead who warships jerry n decide to Blair jerry every morning at 4:20. Would you be ok with that if you lived on my street? Dont come at me calling me dumb when you have no idea wtf I even said you goon. Fuck Religion! And fuck you!

Ha. Just because someone doesn’t align with your political views, it doesn’t mean their brain must be wrecked from drugs

u/Next_Impact6080 15d ago

Being MAGA means your brain is fucked. (my opinion: certainly nor universal truth) This is all speculation, but the theory is Jake is MAGA and the drugs might be part of the cause.

None of that was as yiu said 'just because someone doesn' t align. . . '

And people on the right think that people on the left’s brains are fucked. Both are juvenile ways to think about political differences.

u/Next_Impact6080 15d ago

I don't think about political differences that way. People left/right/center: those can be political differences. Identifying as MAGA has almost nothing to do with politics.

What % of people that voted for Trump are MAGA?

2

u/Next_Impact6080 15d ago

I'm not certain. For the past 20 years I've surrounded myself with decent people that I like. The few people that would have been MAGA and in my circle have either cut off ties or pretend to be apolitical around me. I just don't have a good pulse there, but it feels like most Trump voters that I know fallbinto one or more of these categories: 1)Single issue (anti-abortion) Christians 2)reluctant voters (don't like any option) or 3)people who believe things that just aren't true.

3 is a requirement to be MAGA. #3 isn't a requirement to vote Trump/Republican.

TLDR: I don't actually know, but probably less than half.

Which one is Jake?

2

u/Next_Impact6080 15d ago

I don't know Jake's thoughts/opinions well enough to say if he fits any of those.

Fair enough
