    A MAGA I know told me this is all worth it because he doesn’t want his son to know gay people exist and wants revenge on the people who told him he can’t say “Merry Christmas” anymore…

    They will 100% sacrifice their own happiness and rights if they know it’s hurting people who live their lives is ways they don’t like.

    This isn’t an exaggeration.

        I realized this during the 2016 election. People always say they are voting against their own interests, but their only real interest is to spite someone else. Hurting other people is a win, for them.

    It hurts people they think are lesser, such as LGBTQ and people of color. Racism and bigotry are very much alive in the USA. They would eat a shit sandwich if they thought a lib would smell their breath. Hate is all they know.

    They think all of the gov’ment was corrupt and bad, so they’re cheering for the destruction of all gov’ment.

    I normally do not talk politics with people I know, but this one person said they like trump because: “all I know is when he was president, I did good financially”.

    I tried to tell him that the government is slow to enact things so he did good because the previous president. He didnt want to hear that and dismissed it.

    “We made people we don’t like fucking miserable for a bit”

    Ultimately the kind of person that goes all in on a cult like MAGA could lose everything to shitty policy or because their great leader started a war or smth – But they’ll still reason it was worth it because all those <Slur>s were put in their place.

    Crabs in a bucket. They don’t care if things get worse for them as long as they inflict the same suffering on everyone else.

    Many years ago, I was at a friend’s house and his parents were watching Bush on Faux News. Friend said, “We’re loyal Republicans. We’d rather have an idiot in office than a Democrat.”

    Edit: Before the inauguration, I got back in touch with another Friend who went to a few protests but converted to maga because he started listening to the JRE podcast and whatever the algorithm also recommended. We know the type of influence that jre guy has on vulnerable minds. The podcast host literally twisted his mind 180 degrees.

    Edit 2: I’m not sure that I consider them friends anymore as they would rather have their guy in office and not care that people like me get screwed over.

    if you ask a hundred of them…

    you will get a hundred different answers.

    they voted because it made them feel good and addressed their anger. not for any rational reasons. it’s why they are so surprised at what is going on.

    they had NO IDEA what they were voting for or why they were voting.

      Are they surprised about what’s happening? I don’t actually think they realize or care at all as long as it’s their boy doing it

    MAGA doesn’t know.

    They’re fearful, hateful, instinctive idiots who are more afraid of being proven wrong than anything. The definition of ride or die.
