Letsrun should just host a debate with live fact-checking. The five loudest MAGAs and five loudest normal humans in this thread do a structured debate. You could even do the five loudest MAGAs vs five randomly selected non-MAGAs. Regardless, it’d be an absolute slaughter.
I think what you're missing here (and I'm sure I'm being generous) is:
Tier 1: Strategic Manipulators. Smart and evil. (you are not here)
These are the architects of MAGA. The authors of Project 2025. The opportunistic tech billionaires. Stephen Miller and Steve Bannon. Etc.
Their tools:
Emotional manipulation: exploit fear, resentment, and humiliation from undesirable life factors like economic well-being, emotional well-being, and confusion.
Propaganda mastery: understanding of mass psychology; how to use nationalism, myth, and scapegoating to unify a wounded population.
Institutional capture: legal means to dismantle democracy from within, transforming the US state apparatus into a dictatorship while claiming legitimacy.
Moral inversion: reframing of cruelty as virtue and violence as patriotism, obedience as duty, dehumanization as science.
Tier 2: The Compliant Base. Uniformed, emotional, and lacking in analytical skills. (you are here)
MAGA could not survive without millions of ordinary people who are uninformed, fearful, conformist, and/or opportunistic; many not driven by hatred but by habit, fear, or desire for belonging.
Ignorance: echo chambers as a result of algorithms and confirmation bias.
Obedience to authority: a cultural tradition of militarism and hierarchy.
Desire for stability: willingness to believe in swift, simple answers to real economic and/or other political issues without the ability to test their assumptions.
Moral outsourcing: using the crumbling of decency at the authoritative band to justify avoiding hard emotional work and the required introspection to harness empathy and understanding.
Former Kamala surrogate Mark Cuban praises Trump for lowering the cost of prescription drugs: “TrumpRX is incredible. It’s stupendous. It’s the most incredible program ever.”
The internet says: No results found for Mark Cuban "TrumpRX is incredible" "It's stupendous." "It's the most incredible program ever."
