@LuFins-Dad said in What is a "MAGA Republican?":
If you oppose the orthodoxy on 3 or more of the following:
College Loan Forgiveness
Abortion on Demand
So-called Equity initiatives in the classroom
Dragqueen Story Hours
Puberty Blockers as Gender-Affirming Care
Borders
MMT
BLM
Defund the PoliceThen you might be a MAGAT.
That's actually a pretty good list as far as domestic agenda goes.

Meh, forgot Global Warming, Renewable Energy, Fracking, Free Speech, Disinformation Campaigns, Election Reform, and a few others.

"All y'all are missing the point.
Your biggest concern should be the extremism, as represented by Trump and the MAGA Republicans, that threatens the democratic norm and the very foundations of our republic."Put aside the odious personality.
Put aside the bombast and hyperbole.
Put aside the Jan 6 fiasco.
What extremism are you talking about? Specifics, please.
What threats to the foundation of our republic (See Jan 6th comment above)? Specifics again, please.
I'll refer you to the article by VDH that I posted earlier. What, exactly, has Trump done that compares to those things?

I presume that is fundamental to what Ax was referring to. Those who stick by Trump despite all his blunders and buy into the “if we lost the election, then there must be fraud” concept.
Free and fair and trusted elections are the backbone of our government and society. By perpetuating a false narrative that results in tens of millions of Americans not trusting the election process, is highly destructive to our nation.

I agree.
Now, do this.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

In other words, a MAGA Republican is a trump loyalist (etc) and the term helps separates the crowd from other (non-Trump) republicans…moderate, conservative. Think McCain, Bush, McConnell, et al.

Anybody who believes in the cu*t of personality that is Donald Trump.

Totally. I've said before I would apply the same disdain I have for Trump's post-election antics and January 6th incitement as I would if it had been Obama or Clinton doing it.

To put it simply ...
Then Shithead, fix it! Don't want either side of the political aisle to bitch? Fix it!
It's not hard. Require I.D. to vote. Make people vote in person. Let all parties have observers. Make polls have ballots under lock and key within three hours of the polls closing. All ballots must be counted under observation and if observers are not there, then no vote may be counted. The only mail-in ballots will be military and State Department.

The only thing that has changed recently is there are people on both sides gullible enough to believe the election was rigged. The system has worked and continues to work just fine. It has for many years.

Frankly, you're an idiot on this issue.
The election was rigged. It was rigged on multiple levels from the overt to the covert. It was rigged with ballot harvesting, ballot tampering, the FBI sitting on or denying evidence, Zuckerbucks and a host of other things.
Mail-in voting is especially prone to ballot harvesting and outright fraud.
Fix the problems. They're simple and easily done. When people start to doubt their vote means anything, bad things happen. You probably have never lived in a state where submachine gun wielding thugs controlled political elections. I have. It has happened and it can happen again.
Put your Beltway Blinders aside and stand up for democracy.

Gonna disagree with you there, and I won't bring up Bush/Gore.
I will bring up Bush/Kerry in 2004, when there were tons of claims, many of them on TOCR how Ohio was stolen...
DIEBOLD!!!

Isn't that simple? It's somebody who strongly supports Trump.
I think it’s someone who supports the vision for America, with specific policies that they agree with, that Trump brings to the table (border security, jobs and industry for Americans, protection for the unborn, removing foreign entanglements, rebuild infrastructure, lobby reform, sane energy and environmental policy, etc), and sees he’s the only one practically capable of moving it forward.
Anyone who thinks this is a cult of personality is completely missing the point.
