An unappreciation appreciation thread for cult maga [View all]

OK, OK, I know, I hear your groans but bear with me loves, I have thoughts:

Before this part of the electorate who embrace fascism under the MAGA umbrella of hate, white supremacy and nationalism, xenophobia, islamophobia, homophobia and women hating bollocks, where given permission to be these nasty fuckers they are, many of these horrors lived among the community unexposed.

Without the insurrection on the Capitol, many would have worked alongside fascists who would fight violently to steal democracy without knowing who they were.

Without their maga rallies and their hate for other, many may still have voted for Trump, and switched their vote to Biden, because his core supporters were demonstrably batshit cray cray.

Without the death cult, and the herd community nonsense that actively tried to kill seniors, there may have been enough seniors to swing that vote to Trump.

Without maga we would not be having serious discussions about what American Fascism looks like in the 21st Century and how we can stop it.

Without the wingnuts we would not have seen record turnouts to turn all branches of government blue, enabling President Biden to have some of the tools he needs to govern effectively.

You can not have an appreciation thread for maga (lower case intentional). But an unappreciation thread seems like a plan. These fuckers tried to fuck democracy and, in the process, fucked themselves. I do not appreciate them. But unappreciating them seems like a plan. Huzzah
