There's also the Trump=hating cult. Both cults are as blind as bats.
What separates MAGA from anti-MAGA comes down to a simple question; do you hold all president’s to the same standard? If you do, you’re anti-MAGA. If you’re MAGA, you clearly don’t.
Just look at Trump’s war with Iran. A war he started unilaterally, and flat out tells reporters he can’t call it a war because his lawyers tell him not to. In other words, his administration is well aware that this is blatantly unconstitutional, but they get around that by just calling it something else.
With regards to the objectives? It was about regime change, but nothing’s changed and that’s fine. It was about stopping their nuclear program, which we obliterated 8 months prior, which was an imminent threat a month ago, that we’ve now destroyed for good, even though they rebuilt it in 8 months before, but not this time, cause this time we obliterated them.
And the straight of Hormuz? We need international cooperation, but we don’t need anyone, cause we have all the oil we need so it’s their problem and doesn’t impact us, as we tap into our emergency oil reserves, and it’s fine cause it’ll open in its own, even though it’s closed now by a country with no arms cause we obliterated them.
Talks? We took out the regime so they’re all dead, but we’re having talks right now with the right people, and they sent me a gift so they’re definitely the right people and it’s going well, but they better make a deal soon otherwise we’ll blow up all their civilian infrastructure (a war crime btw), oh and did I mention they’re all dead?
No president in the history of the country would get away with this kind of blatant incoherence and absurdity. And that’s just one issue, it’s to say nothing about his breathtaking corruption, his self defeating economic policies, his insane childishness, his obsession with having his name on everything, his disregard for the constitution, etc. etc. etc… If Joe Biden had done 1/10th of the crap Trump has they would have lost their minds.
To this day they talk about Biden as having been asleep, as Trump is literally asleep at every cabinet meeting.
Hillary Clinton said basket of deplorables and the right still talks about that 10 years later. If Trump said that it wouldn’t even register, he insults his political adversaries for sport and that would be one of his weakest ones.
Not even two weeks ago a decorated veteran and former FBI Director passed away and Trump responded by stating publicly “I’m glad he’s dead”. There is not a single person in Congress whose political career would have survived a second beyond such a disgusting and vile comment. But it’s Trump, so we’ve already forgotten it and moved on.
Sam Harris I think put it best when he said if Trump were half as bad he would seem worse, because then it would be recognizable. The derangement isn’t seeing how bad Trump is, it’s thinking that there is anything normal or acceptable about having a man like this in the Oval Office.
