It makes them aggressive and hostile. Which might be considered a negative.

Just found out someone I thought was somewhat intelligent recently became maga because they think schools are pushing kids to be trans. I no longer think they're intelligent. I'll never understand this dumb fucking shit. Half the world's problems are caused by people being unable to think to themselves "well I don't understand that. It's kinda weird to me. Oh well"
Instead a bunch of assholes need to create misery in the world to somehow attempt to "resolve" their inability to do that. Rather than have something exist that they don't understand, they need to eradicate it. Nevermind the fact that it's both cruel and impossible to eradicate these ideas and people they don't understand.
We should be able to trace these stories to their origins. My welsh mom was on the phone last year saying she saw in the news that schools in Scotland where I am are encouraging kids to be trans. Theyre asking them every single day "are you a girl or a boy today" when they take the register. I told her thats obviously nonsense, thats not happening. I even asked my son to be sure.
The next day, a "news article" popped up on my phone saying the exact shit about schools in Wales. Its so fucking tiring.
Murdoch media, mistery solved!
They're living in their own information bubbles, and they're deluding themselves to believe in these kind of bullshits. Used to be a conservative just when they decided they're gonna rid all opposing ideology from the world (usually under the disguise of anti-communism), before that I was a kind of a proto-alt-right kid, and they literally believe that moderate liberals are secretly bloodthirsty satanist communists, who will kill all christians.
I broke up with my mom over her failure to respect queer rights. I was chased out of my town, had to run away at 17, because people were threatening me, my family, my friends - was under police protection and 24 hour surveillance for weeks. All because I came out in high school.
And now she's like "I am a member of the log cabin republicans"
And I'm like "That's cool, you're not my mom anymore tho."
Good riddance.
My mother in law is constantly posting about how the Biden administration put litter boxes in every school bathroom and they haven't been removed.
Of course, her own grandchildren telling her they've never seen one in any of the 6 schools they've been to is just woke bullshit the teachers are instructing them to lie to their parents about.
The mental gymnastics required to believe these things is astounding, and would almost be impressive if it weren't harming people.
Wow that is absurd. Here's a question for her... Why hasn't God King Trump removed them?
That litterbox story was a test. Humanity failed it by having more than like 100 wackos believe it for even a second. I find it hard to believe any moron could believe it. But I've met them myself so I know it's a thing.
Oh I've brought that up before and it's just been dismissed with a "he's trying but the schools aren't cooperating"
Never mind the fact that the thugs they hire for law enforcement would have no qualms with kicking down a school door and putting guns in faces to do whatever they want (as long as there isn't a scary white man with a gun inside that might shoot at them) and would love the opportunity to "own the libs" by removing these thousands and thousands of litter boxes.
Like I said, the mental gymnastics are astonishing. She believes a single being created the universe, so this probably isn't that big a stretch for her.
The funny thing here to me is that despite being an atheist/agnostic I actually find the existence of God much more believable than the litter box story. At least there's a conceivable cause and effect there. I really struggle to relate to people who think motivations aren't key to behavior. Sure if there was something to gain from putting litter boxes in bathrooms, I could see some people believing it. But there's literally no explanation for it. It's just a vague "they're crazy" handwave happening there.

MAGA worldview is a exploit of multiple side-effects of some evolutionary-useful features, but it behaves more like a virus. Or basically, it's a sect.
It really is like a mind virus

Hello fellow progressive Texan… THERE ARE DOZENS OF US!
Texas can actually become a blue state, if it wasn't for all the gerrymandering.
