    While I think that your first section makes a spectacularly excellent point that I had not considered before, your second section broke my brain.

    Section one: Excellent point. As Trickle Down Economics spread, and life in America slowly declined as inflation/cost of living steadily outpaced incomes at an increasingly speed, the conservatives managed to blame the problems on liberals, minorities, and immigrants. I hadn’t looked at it that way, as an excuse why Trickle Down wasn’t fixing everything, but it is absolutely true.

    Section 2: You are still trying to figure out if the MAGAs motivations are valid or not? Did you just become conscious a month ago? Because it has been apparent that MAGA is about nothing but money and control since they came on the scene a decade ago. Since then, they have become indelibly tied to treason, corruption, pedophilia, racism, misogyny, ignorance, stupidity, and virtuosic incompetence. Bad Faith is their core value.

    And you are still doing your research? Dude…

      the leadership yes, but the people voting for them? I’m not so sure.

        If you support it with your words, your actions, and your vote, then you own it. MAGA followers are every bit as bad as the leaders.
