Are those idiots real or it’s just satire?

No, this is real.

Roughly 1/4 to 1/3 of this country is in a goofy as fuck, anti-reality, violent and dangerous death cult, called MAGA.

You know how like in Japan or SK, large wealthy cults have an outsized impact on politics, scandals when it turns out a PM or whoever got a bunch of money from one?

We elected our cult leader president.

Thats... thats roughly the framing you need, for this to maybe actually make sense in your brain, as anything other than the worlds grandest reality TV show.


Yougov recently did a poll.

https://yougov.com/en-us/articles/54707-how-many-americans-think-they-could-beat-donald-trump-in-a-fight

On average, 66% of Americans think they could win a fight, an actual fist fight, with Donald Trump.

10% thought they'd lose, 24% unsure.

Now break it down by party.

Democrats:

75% would win, 5% would lose, 20% unsure.

Republicans:

39% would win, 33% would lose, 28% unsure.

...

So thats's 25% of Dems don't think they're certain to win, vs 61% of Reps don't think they're certain to win...

... a fight against an obese and literally demented 79 year old with bone spurs, who wears diapers, and is often seen nodding off during meetings.

You really can only explain something like this by framing the hardcore MAGA folks as delusional, mentally impaired cult members.

They have Trump Derangement Syndrome, but its the opposite of what they think it is... its North Korea levels of Dear Leader god-king worship.

Maybe blue voters are more likely to know how to throw a punch when the other person can see you.

I don't think I've ever loved anything as much as those delusional MAGA dorks love getting screwed over by Trump.

Must be so nice to go through life as stupid as them

I get yelled at by my wife and my therapist all the time for saying "I wish I was dumb, because then I'd be happy."

Pssst, hey buddy, you can rent stupidity. It's called "beer", pass it on.

I used to have a little chuckle when I drove my EV past people lining up at gas stations, now I full on Homer Simpson laugh.

Even my EV F150 would be only about $60 from 0-100% at peak PG&E summer rates (4pm-8pm). And I just avoid those charging times, so it's more like $40.
