100% real MAGA Republican. Fundamentalist Christian. Young Earth Creationist. Definitely not a parody of those. Please stop saying that.
Make America Great (like its mythology says it was for people like me and only me at some unspecified point) Again!

Is this true even if we believed he’d bring the war to a close by facilitating Russia’s conquest of Ukraine?

I, a #MAGA Republican, agree wholeheartedly. The resistance needs to winnow down to the right leaders instead of accepting that any & all resistance is, at this point, beneficial regardless of its motivation because the only thing that matters is stopping the administration from seizing more power.

Well, no, “Christofascism” isn’t hot. We #MAGA Republicans haven’t shifted the frame of public discourse far enough to begin using that term openly. Please refer to it by our preferred terms, “bringing democracy back from Joe Biden’s anti-Americanism & incompetence,” or “winning bigly.”

Wrong. The Bible isn’t “fake news” (or, well, the correct translation isn’t). It’s the inerrant Word of God, which we know because the Bible, which teaches us that God is omnisicent & omnibenevolen (so He can’t be wrong), & that it’s His Word. QED, heretic!

Yep. He’s still conservative & employing broad-stroke, unevidenced criticisms of liberalism. He’s also saying there’s one single issue that subsumes all others & thus cuts across all interests—whether President Trump gets to become an autocrat—& calling for mass resistance. Is he wrong about that?

Shoot, our whataboutism didn’t work. I really thought it would this time. Sandy, should we #MAGA Republicans switch to ad hominem arguments, name calling, or vulgarities next?

First, no, according to Psalm 139:13-14, life begins when God sews a fetus together in its mother’s womb. Second, if you’re saying that we #MAGA Republicans are Christian fascists, we’re not. We just want a Christian nationalist oligarchy/autocracy that suppresses all but our views. Is that fascist?

Thank you for the well-wishes.
I would caution you against calling another human being “worthless.” You seem to view the world through a lens of empathy. While I don’t have any of my own, I imagine someone who does would hold to the belief that all of us have worth.
You have a good night, too.

Yes! Thank you! This is exactly the kind of whataboutism backup I needed. Now we can derail the original discussion & frustrate our opponents with the combination of a non sequitur & substanceless mendacity! The libs aren’t going to know what hit them!

I’m not sure if you’ve read the Bible, but the lessons it has to teach regarding women, their personhood, & their bodily autonomy aren’t incompatible with my & my fellow #MAGA Republicans’ current misogyny.
comment in response to
post
Oh! Got it. I mean, we wouldn’t put it in those terms when not in private, but, that’s fair.
Also, no. I’m a real #MAGA Republican. Why would I change my beliefs & actions before I’m personally affected by something?

Oh, no, their crimes are odious & the harm they inflicted on children is immeasurable. Thankfully, I belong to a different sect of Christianity—the right one, not a false one like theirs—so their actions are not attributable to me & easily discounted as the acts of people who aren’t True Christians.

Yep! I’m a #MAGA Republican. I’m fully aware that President Trump was found liable for raping E. Jean Carroll & then defaming her. I voted for him anyway because I, a MAGA Republican, like the way President Trump makes me feel that the world will be rigged in favor of me & my ingroup.

I don’t get that allegation of “lack[ing] humanity.” We #MAGA Republicans are welcoming & kind to everyone who looks, acts, & thinks like us, & who does not in any way challenge cisheteronormative patriarchy. If everyone just fit those descriptions, we’d be happy to treat them like human beings.
comment in response to
post
That’s not true. I, like all good #MAGA Republicans, believe the Bible is literally true & follow what my church tells me are Jesus’s teachings: That only those who look, think, & act like us are worthy of God’s unconditional love.

Based on what definition of kidnapping? The unlawful restraint of a person through force or show of force, coupled with moving them against their will to another location or concealing them? I don’t see how that applies just because ICE had no lawful authority to seize him & send him to El Salvador.

First, we aren’t stupid, weak cowards. We #MAGA Republicans are manly & strong. We just want an ultranationalist, authoritarian leader to centralize power, suppress opposition, & force everyone to conform to our views so we can feel safe. Second, when was Garcia granted witholding of removal? 2019?
comment in response to
post
Wrong. ICE isn’t “kidnapping” anyone, it’s shipping them to an extrajudicial prison w/o due process. Nor is DOGE “dismantling.” That’s an orderly process. Plus, Trump IS helping Americans. He’s teaching us how to live with nothing. And Bondi? She can’t “ignore” the Constitution! She’s unaware of it.
comment in response to
post
Oh, I agree.
Although he is a registered Republican. And President Trump did appoint him. Also, he’s not on record espousing white or Christian nationalist views, urging the end of the rule of law, calling for viewpoint discrimination, or celebrating defiance of court orders.
But still, I agree!

I’ve got this, @jabba12.bsky.social! While Article III, section 1, vests judicial power in the judicial branch, nowhere does it say that the Supreme Court is the ultimate arbiter of what is, & is not, constitutional. So where are you going to pull that from, huh? Marbury v. Madison, 5 US 137 (1803)?
comment in response to
post
Oh, no, I intend to do this the right way. First we restore the job market’s favorability to me & my ilk, then I rake in the cash that’s left from the oligarchs’ privatization of, well, everything, & then, since all the undocumented immigrants are gone, I help create a new persistent underclass.

Canadian wool? Never. I only use American wool because American wool is beautiful and theirs is weak. It’s unbelievable.
And, no, I didn’t get any of the insider info, but I’m okay that the right people did because soon, once we’ve gotten back to 1850s employment standards, that’s going to be me.

No, I’m a 100% real, dyed-in-the-wool #MAGA Republican. I don’t know why you’d think otherwise.
comment in response to

Well, for some of us, sure. For many of us, that kind of projection is a tactic designed to simultaneously infuriate, avoid responsibility, & derail our opponent’s argument by enticing them into denials. It’s super efficient.
And the fact that you liberals do it to us all the time is callow & evil.

A quick note from a 100% real #MAGA Republican: One of our tactics is to drive you to constant outrage so you reach the emotional equivalent of semantic satiation. What we don’t want you to do is conclude once & for all that we’re awful & mendacious so you can save precious energy & your well-being.

It sounds like you (1) have empathy and (2) view trans people (& likely all people) as co-equal human beings, & that those two things shape your worldview & decision-making.
Remove them. Substitute for them fear of difference & a belief that social advancement must be zero-sum, & one gets…this.

If you’re accusing me, a #MAGA Republican, of wanting a christofascist state, you’re way off-base. All we want is for President Trump to institute an ultranationalist state with him as a sole center of power, & to suppresses individuality & all opposition to our views, which happen to be Christian.

Credit where credit’s due for his consistency, though: RFK’s understanding of Autism Spectrum Disorder is equally as honest, well-informed, & scientifically sound as his views on vaccination & mental health treatments.
comment in response to

Sure. As are the global rise of right-wing populism, the corruption of democracies into authoritarian states, the functioning of nascent totalitarian regimes, & the role of bigotries in the voting patterns of non-college-educated white men. But what does that have to do with me, a #MAGA Republican?
comment in response to
post
Great question! See, if we were to accept that one could associate “terrorist” with our own, preferred faith, it would diminish our ability as #MAGA Republicans to vilify all Muslims, the overwhelming majority of whom are good, peaceful, law-abiding people, by rhetorically linking terror to Islam.
comment in response to
post
Sure we #MAGA Republicans do! But that was different. When “terrorist” was applied to our ingroup (simply because of some domestic terror), we wore it as a badge of honor to drain it of force & meaning. Now we’re applying it to those we outgroup, despite of its meaning, to justify exerting force.
comment in response to
post
Yeah, why ARE you so mad that President Trump & his administration are punishing people & institutions for their viewpoints, disrupting the post-WWII world order, supporting despots, & transforming the rule of law from equal protection to selective enforcement per his fiat? We see no problems there.
comment in response to
post
Ha! Precisely. Political parties never change their views, ever. It’s like how we #MAGA Republicans still support laissez-faire economics, globalization, the containment of Russian aggression, a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, stare decisis, & Black people! Our views are immutable!
comment in response to
post
Whoa, you misunderstand me! I’m a dyed-in-the-wool #MAGA Republican, like you. I mean, that’s why I, like you, don’t worry about the protection of the laws becoming a matter of the Trump administration’s whims. We’re not just Americans, we’re the RIGHT Americans, so we’re safe. Right?
comment in response to
post
Exactly! The Democrat Party is anti-kid. I mean, we do have to put aside consistent Democrat Party support for WIC, S-CHIP, free school meals, & increased education funding. And that vaccines are safe & effective. Oh, & that gender affirming care for minors doesn’t include surgery. Otherwise, yes!
comment in response to

No, that’d be a sin.
Although you do pose an fascinating thought experiment here. Given that God is omnipresent, isn’t there a chance that we are twixt His buttocks? And if so, ARE we doing something carnal, even inadvertently?
Thank you for raising this question! I’ll pose it to my pastor.

One, I would never have intercourse with God. While God is an omnipotent being who transcends comprehension, He’s also male, so contemplating that makes me feel things that I’ve been taught are bad. Two, we don’t lie to ourselves. We just accept the Bible as literal Truth regardless of the evidence.
comment in response to
post
I get you’re upset about this. But I don’t see why. It’s not like the Fifth Amendment expressly states that due process is owed to all persons in the USA, not just citizens, or that the Supreme Court has repeatedly held—including as recently as in JGG v. Trump—that it applies in removal proceedings.

How do I manipulate God’s Word? All I do, like all evangelicals, is read the Bible in a very particular way so that it affirms the cisheteronormative patriarchy, & then insist that everyone live by those same values lest I treat them as less than me. What could be more Christian?
