There's always a split in maga.
First it was the epstein stuff, then it was tarrifs, then it's the iran war.
But they keep forgiving him and bowing down. I've reached the conclusion that maga are unsalvagable as people.
You can find the most angry violent hateful dog, and rehab them into being a better happier dog. I used to think you could do the same with maga.
Nope.
They're so braindead that they'll accept ANYTHING he does. Anything.
Place tarrifs? Booooooo......oh, alright.
Rape kids? Boooooo.......oh, alright.
Raise gas prices? Boooooooo......oh, alright.
Go to war? Boooooo.......oh, alright.
Break into my house, and rape my wife? Boooooooo..........oh, alright.
I made that last one up, but stand by the fact that's exactly how it would play out if trump went door to door raping peoples wives right in front of them.
These people are mentally absent and morally bankrupt.
What you're missing here is that people treat politics as sports ball when they fail to connect it to their daily lives. As the economic situation in the US continues to decline, Trump supporters will start having problems paying their bills and making ends meet just like everyone else. They will turn on him, and it will get ugly. What Carlson is most likely doing here is setting himself up as an alternative, and he'll harness that anger for his own purposes.
I read a story maybe 2 months ago where farmers in Idaho had everyone they hired on their farm deported from an ICE raid. Without cheap labor, they were forced to sell their farm. The farm owners said they realized it was trumps policies that did this.
There was a different story involving a family owned lumbermill. It had been family run for over a century. It wasn't ICE raids, but some other new policy trump enacted.
In both cases, they were trump voters. Full on maga. They admitted it was trumps fault. They also said they'd vote for him again.
When your racism trumps your livelihood and generational legacy.
Right, and we'll be seeing more and more of this happening as Trump continues to destroy the economy.
Like that braniac Argentine that can't pay her bills and plans on voting Milei. I had a conversation today with a client who is extremely naïve, poor, and entitled, but one thing we agree, all these people on the Hill and in positions of influence promoting them are probably drugged out of the galaxy.
I know a couple of ex-maga. Now they're Blue maga.
.........wtf is blue maga?
Neoliberals who unconditionally support the Democrat establishment and blame the left for everything etc
Blue maga is when you blame the GOP instead of the rotten core of the US empire for the problems with the daily live of an average American.
They actually want to make America great again, by taxing billionaires out of existence, breaking up all monopolies, punishing greedy CEOs the French way, boosting union memberships, blowing up all oil pipelines and refineries, and bringing down the current capitalist banking system?
Just guessing lol
Just making up a fever dream. Blue maga has a definition and it's not this. It's insisting that we need to have the worst most geriatric candidates for office.
Yeah that's why I was joking and saying "just guessing", glad you can read
DNC would actually win back voters and then some. Probably some red magas too.

Well, that describes me.....but can we not call it "blue maga"? Not loving that name.
Blue MAGA already has a well established definition and has for over a decade
Red MAGA has only been around for barely a decade.
I'll give you that it didn't gain popularity as a pejorative till 2019, but it was being used in 2016-17.
