29. I don't waste a lot of blame

on the lower functioning Magas. I do not carry pride and prejudice against them. They are the pawns of the super-rich and the power brokers, the victims of decades of brainwashing and fear-mongering. I pity them for their stupidity. If they want to join us, great. Not holding my breath about how many might actually come all the way into our camp. That would mean they've had a real wake-up call and are willing to consider a whole different world-view. Some might be angry & Woke (ha ha) enough to do that. Many will hide their shame, slink away and vote R again.

I reserve my deepest anger and loathing for the smarter and more fortunate who are exploiting them. You seem to be making the assumption that liberal/progressive blame is entirely directed to the lower level Maga subjects. How about including the large numbers of so called "fiscally conservative" Repuglicons who are running the show? They are in power in every community--hiding behind every bush in suburbia, counting their money in their McMansions, chanting "I Got Mine." I can hear them chant from my house. I definitely judge their critical thinking and their political acumen.

These are the quiet enablers, the selfish and greedy--the closet Trump humpers we are NOT willing to call out enough, it seems. They are equally complicit in the crime spree that we are witnessing now. These enablers know exactly what they are doing. I do NOT pity them. They will never join us IMO. That has been proven over and over ever since Reagan. I have some relatives of both lower and upper Maga groups--I know where the line is. The upper Magas I will never forgive.
