It's amazing how Magats follow blindly without questioning

Just a few examples:

Trump declares an election fraudulent before it was even over....Magats believe him without questioning to the point where some of them attack the Capital.

Trump says he wants Greenland....Magats celebrate the idea without considering what it might do to NATO and our European allies.

Trump grabs a foreign leader in order to enact a regime change that will give the US control of that country's resources...Magats celebrate the idea without considering the awful precedence that is being set.

I'm just feeling disgusted and scared for my country.

My siblings are Maga Christians, and they can't even name the four gospels. Seriously, they can't.

of longer names/phrases. Paul & Luke have been chopped (edited) down as well.

If the lefties and people of color don’t like it, they fucking love it.

into inpatient mental health centers to deprogram these individuals. They've lost touch with reality and are a threat to national security. I honestly never believed it was possible for this number of people to lose their rational minds, their ethics/morality, and their compassion. My sympathy goes out to all those who have family members and/or friends who have succumbed to this mass delusion.

It's all pretty predictable to me. Perhaps I was hardened following the mild trauma I went through after Jonestown. I still remember seeing the first network news break interstitial during prime time that Saturday night announcing the news of Leo Ryan's killing.

you clearly understand who, what they are, and what motivates them.

We'd be fools to expect better of em.
