MAGA is not its own ideology; it’s a rejection of other ideologies. As its foundation is rejection and not any sort of philosophical conclusion, any attack upon MAGA ideas or important persons is extremely dangerous to the ideology’s core. Ergot; dogmatic loyalty to both MAGA and its leaders are required for the ideology to work.
No I can choose to say screw maga to their faces and be a democrat, I’m a strict Christian bi (don’t act on it) conservative and I’m allowed to be whereas if someone who’s a democrat does anything remotely conservative they are shamed for it y’all are CODED fr. Not gonna say I’m NOT because social media was designed for it but I’m at least awake to it.
People on both sides deify the frontrunners of their ideals whether you realize it or not. It’s a lot more difficult to nail down a central force around the Democratic Party recently because it’s fumbled two elections (the first it should have won handily). Consider people like Obama, Bernie, or Mamdani. It’s the nature of polarized politics for each side to have a sort of zealous support of their guy. If the dems put up anyone worth anything in 28 we’ll see it there too.
I think a lot of the rioters right now can in a way fall in the mindset of a cult. I mean, look at what happened in the church and that hotel, where if I remember correctly pretty much got destroyed for no reason because there were no agents there. I hate all sides right now because seeing how genuinely psychotic people are is terrifying. I mean, people took hostages and genuinely believe they’re in the right for that…
Bottom line is that the super-polarization of politics is and always has been a negative thing, and the two party system amplifies that tenfold. MAGA cult of personality or leftist groupthink (which, to be clear, the right suffers from plenty) are both negatives. It’s more true than untrue that the moderate approaches to these kind of issues end up the best.
“MAGA” is the subject noun. the predicate of “when facts are brought into the equation they get mad” is still adjectival to “MAGA,” as you failed to enter a new subject noun. you sound stupid and you refuse to admit you’re wrong, all over a goddamn grammatical error. you’re in a cult.
No you decided to make it grammatical because you had no other sincere line of defensive😭you are being ignorant. You knew what I was trying to say no matter how bad the grammar was so you made the argument about grammar evading my entire point. Very typical of you liberal college students.
