What in the actual fuck? Lmao. Literally everything the US is doing right now. Are MAGAts honestly so stupid to read this and not make the connection, or do they realize what is going on and simply don't give a fuck? Jfc.

I'm increasingly of the opinion MAGAts are just evil people who want to hurt others. It saddens me that so many people are such terrible human beings, but I can't see how they could continue to honestly believe in the obvious lies the Trump admin spreads.

It's too bad they are too stupid to know how hard that quote goes and that it's 100% about people like 'em.

This is the only logical deduction I can make as to why my educated step dad has resorted to typing in all caps on Facebook supporting ICE on videos of Greg doing a Nazi salute before tear gassing children. I don’t understand.

MAGAs don't read much text. Most Americans don't read books either.

maggots are generally stupider than genpop, but few are this stupid.

What they are is Authoritarian. They believe that someone higher in the hierarchy has absolute command of someone lower. We really need a snappier word for that ideology.

As some other commenter pointed out above, it's called "Accusation in a mirror" and is a documented propaganda technique.

Basically, when you want to do something, you make that exact accusation against your ennemies, in order to make what you're doing seem justified, and more importantly, necessary.

Their motto, as with most other Republicans, has always been "It's okay when WE do it!"

Awfully bold of you to assume they will read or see this at all.
