It's kinda sad, you think about it. Like a big chunk of the maga movement itself is just confused lonely guys who want to belong to something, to be invisible in a crowd.
Being weird is what they've been escaping their whole life. They want to be normal, which they don't understand is impossible to attain, specifically because we are all so wild and diverse. They don't realize that "normal" is only defined by the people who believe themselves to be normal. It's a social construct, and if you want to get real philosophical, probably a more worthless one than gender itself.
To be a part of a group that is able to brand someone else as weird? To be the ones defining normal? Dream come true.
What a sad, miserable experience. Honestly, dropping that and wanting to not be normal...to accept being yourself...your true self... is probably one of the most liberating things we can experience in this life. But that need to conform is just so ingrained.
