    There is no policy, there is no goal, the only ideology is anger and fear, they just want people to hurt and others to look down on.

    If everyone in America became a billionaire I think then… we could know peace.

    Until then those entitled bitches will continue to whine.

    In the social structure, or what passes for one, of the maggat, independent existence is considered a grave offense. As long as anything exists outside of the self the creature will fly into a rage.

    MAGA isn’t really a cohesive movement with a specific set of concerns. It’s a trademarked Trump political slogan based on a Reagan political slogan.

    If MAGA means “anyone who supports Trump”, then probably when Trump stops being politically relevant. If Trump can rile people up for one reason or another and does so under a MAGA banner, then it’s still around.

    You could choose some particular subset of Trump supporters – the group that he drew his initial strong support from were people who wanted labor protectionism, limitations on international trade, restrictions on immigration, feelings of political irrelevance, upset at distribution of money… I suppose that you could argue that if they had all that, that would address major concerns.

    They’re fascists. MAGA is a fascist movement. That’s the right word for them; they meet all the textbook definitions of a classic fascist movement. They aren’t looking for particular outcomes. They’re just looking for people to hurt. And they’ll just keep doing that until they’re forced out of power or the whole system collapses. If the Nazis had one and murdered everyone that lacked blond hair and blue eyes, soon enough they would have been killing people for having the wrong shade of blue eyes.

            Oh my God. This could be the greatest international publicity stunt/real life squid game possible!

            Canada creates an annual contest. Contestants must be Americans without Canadian citizenship.

            The task is simple. Consume as much poutine as you can in one sitting.

            The sole winner of this eating contest gets automatic Canadian citizenship.

    On a person to person level, one can probably provide a substitute for their addiction to facsism. So, something like class consciousness?

    I do wonder what these MAGA nationalists will say once Trump officially partners with Putin. I always think “but they can’t tolerate THAT, right?” But than they prove me wrong with their crazy mental gymnastics

      I hate to say it like this but you just have to imagine MAGA are like people in the matrix, I know cliche. As long as they never see the scorched out sky they will live blissfully in the simulation.

        Nah. It’s worse than that. They are Cyphers.

        Those who’ve seen the sky, cry out to be put back in the matrix and will murder to get back their blissful ignorance.

      I can only assume that it’s licence to draw hard lines on “spheres of influence” on a map and make Latin America into vassal states.

      And removing the neo from neo-colonial in dealings with Lat-Am truly makes America great again.
