Trump, MAGA, and the current incarnation of the Republican party have it so much easier than the modern-day political left does.
We question, we challenge, we argue, we have protracted and nuanced debates. We’re cynical, fractured, skeptical, logical, intellectually curious, and have a keen grasp of no end of relevant history to provide critical context.
The MAGA world just signs up, lines up, joins up, shuts up, suits up, and ammo’s up behind their Dear Leader.
Demagoguery 101. It hasn’t been done any better in my lifetime.
