Every day, Idiocracy is less sci-fi and more documentary.

The fact that the crowd’s response to “You protected pedophiles!” is to chant “USA! USA!” tells you everything about MAGA.

They aren’t denying it. They can’t. The entire GOP has been covering up the Epstein files, slow-walking the release, redacting Trump’s name. When you can’t defend it, you just chant USA louder to drown out the truth.

That protester is braver than everyone in that room combined.

They still defend it but I don't believe any of them actually believe it. My maga father admitted to me that pedophilia is not a deal breaker for home before he stormed out of family therapy.

I imagine most MAGA are like this too.

Sorry to hear your father is an irredeemable scumbag. At least you turned out alright.

Thats because i have the morals he instilled in me, not the morals he lives by.

"Do as I say, not as I do" is the single holy mantra of MAGA.
