I think one appeal of MAGA is that it’s *simple*. You love Trump, hate on “the libs”, & parrot the talking points. That’s it. So easy. Critical thinking is *hard*; empathy is hard; understanding others’ viewpoints is hard. MAGA is easy. I think that’s a reason “they’re weird” caught on; it’s easy.

@maryelizabethw.bsky.social Thanks for this. As the dad of a disabled trans daughter fleeing Texas for her safety (see pinned post) w/ grown kids, the choice is easy: No more money from me. Keep my copies of the books & DVDs. Whether I can still enjoy them is an open question. tinyurl.com/wa57ymec

Iowans could have elected Theresa Greenfield in 2020, but they decided to go with known-jerk weed Ernst. I feel bad for the 1 million+ Iowans who didn’t want her, but Ernst won by a comfortable margin. You MAGA idiots are reaping what you sowed. Just to “stick it to the libs”. Was it worth it?

@digby56.bsky.social Tbh I kind of prefer Trump not meet alone with Putin. I’d be genuinely afraid that he’d try to give away nuclear secrets or something, like Reagan in Reykjavik. www.salon.com/2025/05/30/d... I’m pretty done with old, senile Presidents.

I’d like to “violentally revoke” Rubio’s position as Secretary of State. The scary thing is, this spineless buffoon is probably the most competent member of the cabinet.

This is possibly the best and most succinct summation of what’s going on that I’ve seen. Thanks, @briankarem.bsky.social
