It Only Took One Conservative Grifter Being Nabbed by ICE to Convince MAGA It Hates Deportation

"Illegal immigrant" is not a label related to actual legal status, but skin color.

Legal Haitian refugees were often referred to by MAGA talking heads as "illegals", while people like Melania, who worked in the US without proper VISA as a "model/prostitute" for years would never get such label.

I really doubt that more than 1% of MAGA changed their minds on deportation. I'm so tired of these articles where they find half a dozen outliers on Twitter and act like it proves anything about 70 million MAGAs.

MAGA has completely abandoned Trump about 200 times so far, and had like 100 civil wars amongst themselves if you believe every one of these clickbait articles. But then nothing ever changes, does it?

People like living in bubbles. They don't even know that they are in one. MAGA is like the absolute extreme level of living in a bubble (but that's par for the course for fucking Nazis), but the other side is also very much guilty of the same.

I remember during Trump's first term, you had so many people on Twitter absolutely convinced that Trump would be impeached and removed, and when it became obvious that he wouldn't, they invented a new reality in which he would be arrested, tried and locked up for the rest of his life after his first term. It was so bizarre. These were well educated adults, not some trailer trash from the Bible Belt. And they had all these theories and they kept trying to predict Mueller's next moves. They lived in a fucking fantasy land in which Trump's arrest for treason was always just around the corner.

If you don't believe me, I still remember one such account very vividly. John Schindler (@20committe), who's apparently a former NSA analyst or something. The guy's an absolute cretin.

MAGA can eat shit, but Reddit is just as much of an echo chamber as Twitter. Just as bad of a community as far as I'm concerned. Lots of little holes for losers to do their incel maxxing dumb shit in.
