Anytime you mention anything right wing you get a lot of downvotes and a lot of railing against MAGA. It is almost enough to make me vote for Trump just out of spite. There might be a "silent majority" that doesn't do that, but the evidence that anyone can see: comments and votes are clearly intolerant of all right wing discussion.

Just look at all the different replies I've got - most of them instead of looking at Lemmy in the mirror proved the point by jumping onto railing against MAGA.

To me, voting for Trump "out of spite" doesn't sound like something a person would do if they cared about others. I hope you won't do that.

I think the problem is more that maga has taken over the right wing, and instead of distancing themselves from maga, a lot of conservatives end up defending it. Which should not be tolerated imo.

If someone is intolerant of maga, what is so hard about saying "I don't like them either"

That's because all of right wing politics is hurting people for no good reason.

I absolutely 100% get what you mean.

But I'd implore you to wait a Moment and think about it. Voting for Trump isn't only going to "own the Tankies", It will also damage everyone else, including you. Don't let others bully you into voting for someone that doesn't help you. Be egoistic, vote for someone who actually cares about you.
