Cheri Jacobus - MAGA dies off

https://twitter.com/CheriJacobus/status/1346705702576918529

MAGA dies off because it's not about anything. They have no actual policies or legislative initiatives they care about or can even articulate. MAGA is just the worship of an evil man -- a silly cult. Trump is a loser. There will be indictments. Arrests. His kids.
It's over.


Exactly...it's not about governing or leading. It's about adulation of a narcissistic grifter.

Per NYT live blog
