I believe all of us here at DU, unlike MAGAts, have embarked on a road less taken. . .

When arguing with a MAGAt, I typically notice how shallow, superficial and simplistic their thinking is.

We're in an epidemic of superficiality though. Merely noticing superficiality is, itself, prone to increasing superficiality's strength.
