    For the MAGAs keeping score at home:

    • America First, no foreign entanglements. Yeah, tell it to Venezuela, Greenland, Iran, Gaza, Canada, Mexico, etc.

    • Lower Prices on Day One - Still rising on Day 365

    • Release the Epstein Files - except the really good stuff of course. Unless it exposes the nasty “victims,” who were just slutty 13 year olds.

    • Protect the 2nd Amendment, unless, y’know, you want to actually carry your gun the way the Constitution and SCOTUS allows. Can’t be doing that. Soon they’ll just take them away, but it will be okay if MAGA does it, right?

    So with all your precious MAGA promises being broken, why are you still in? The open corruption? The open treason? The virtuosic incompetence? The paramilitary Death Squads murdering innocent American citizens in spontaneous firing squads? The humiliating daily court losses for their all important retaliatory prosecutions? The embarrassing public statements multiple times a day? The frenzied hours long manic posting of racist memes? The shitting his pants during press conferences?

    I’ll bet it’s the Pedophilia. The one thing that MAGA can be absolutely counted on is to cover for Pedophilia. Hiding it is LITERALLY their most important job, and they are ALL on board with that objective

    That why ALL MAGAs are Pedophiles.

      Here in Canada we have three major parties and a few minor ones. A decade or more ago ago our three major parties could be described as progressive, centerist, and conservative. These days they can be referree to as progressive, conservative/center-right, and far-right.

      How many people do you suppose switched from the Conservitives to the Liberals, from the originally conservative to the now conservative/center-right, in more recent years as the parties changed their alignment and began representing different people? Next to fucking no one. Most originally Conservative voters, if they genuinely believed in what they were saying, should be voting Liberal right now as that party now aligns with their supposed views more closely. Liberals, likewise, only care about voting for the party that puts itself between the two options on either side, calling anyone to the right or left “extreme” or “idealists” no matter what their positions actually are and so it’s difficult to get them to actually make real change.

      The moral of this story is that MAGA voters are voting based on following their tribe around and they are completely locked into branding and stereotypes. They believe anything they’re told because they want to align themselves with an image, not vote for a representative. The more this shit goes on the more I think the world needs to ban the idea of political parties so that voters have to actually listen to the campaign promises of candidates.

        Some cities have non-partisan elections for offices like mayor. It seems like that would be a good thing, but it’s really because some cities are so partisan, it can be hard to come up with a candidate from the opposing party. By making it non-partisan, they can offer more than one candidate, even if they are both from the same party.
