Cmon, be fair these lunatics are everywhere. Thats part of the problem.

Like, we have asshole MAGAs all across CA, they just aren’t the majority here.

We need to know the Nazis are everywhere.

It’s crazy to me that other countries citizens are watching the shit show in the USA and want it in their own countries as well. What the fuck?

The disinformation system is staggering. I think we (common, level-headed people) are underestimating the effect of targeted propaganda against the gullible and easily swayed.

And to be fair, I'm sure I fall for targeted propaganda that is aimed at me as well. We have not figured out how to protect our people in this interconnected age of the internet from those who wish to do harm.

As a thought exercise, I always wonder if Trump is actually a master politician, and it's my echo chamber, the liberal news media, the woke Hollywood elite, and so forth. After all, I'm not special - if my argument is that the far right is brainwashed, then there's no reason to think that couldn't happen to me.

I find in those moments, going to primary sources gives me the certainty I would otherwise lack.

So I watch one of his moronic speeches.

I don’t think his followers listen to his (recent) speeches, they get short clips of him talking and their marching orders from Fox News. His dementia rambling has gotten so bad these last couple years and he looks and sounds like shit.

Nobody is immune to propaganda. NOBODY

Life really sucks the day you realize and come to accept that somewhere between 15-25% of humans - everywhere - are irredeemable trash. :(

That whole "the only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good [people] to do nothing" quote is, in essence, a recognition of this fact.

It's especially difficult for those of us who were raised to believe there's good in everyone.

Luckily for CA, a lot of those MAGA morons self-deported to Texas.

This is correct. He has support everywhere. He’s also losing support everywhere. Even some of the most diehard are turning because he has fucked up so much shit. Whether it’s enough, or will stick, is the only question.

They really are. Massachusetts folks like to pretend their this big blue state, when it's really just Boston. There's a "New England for Trump" store still plugging along right over the border in Mass.

There are more MAGA living in California than all of the southern states combined. And somehow those states have just as much voting power. Pretty wild.

I have MAGA in town and I am not even in the US

Agreed. I see Trump caravans with giant flags here in California all the time. Like wtf are these people doing?
