Debate Now A Hard Look at the MAGA Movement

[Fort Fun Indiana]

So everyone would have been locked down and forced to take the jab?

Well that's your fascinating plan. I would say you're either not very imaginative or you're pretty lazy.

I doubt that would have been the plan, if we had a competent president.

That was the main difference in red and blue states response.

Blue states were locked down longer.

Red states killed more.

Yes they were more cautious.

While some not all red state governors started doing what they had to do to keep from losing their voting base to someone nuttier.

Always fun to drop into a thread that has run waaaaaaaaaaaaaay off into the weeds. Getting back to the topic, MAGA is not a "movement". MAGA is not a monolithic entity. It is a concept that real Americans believe in. Truth is simple. Democrats are complicated.

MAGA is just the newest rebrand of the teabaggers and the birthers and the John birch society.

Like the rebrand of creationism to intelligent design.

MAGA stands for Make America Great Again. Great countries don't throw their borders wide open, ship violent gangs into the inner cities, look the other way while Americans die of Fentanyl poisoning. Great countries don't value illegals more highly than their own citizens. Great countries don't let little shit pot countries like Mexico walk all over them. Great countries don't support the number one terrorist country in the world Iran. That and many other reasons is why America is no longer great and needs to be made great again.

Trump is going to make an amazing 47th president. I can hardly wait to get rid of the Liars that are in there right now.

I bet that you can't wait for fascism.

I think it's already arrived. You seem like one

Took 7 pages but you’re right. Scratch a MAGA and find an anarchist.

Make America Great Again is not a concept, and it's not a plan. It is just a slogan and not even an original one. Reagan came up with it in 1979.

Because slogans generalize an idea, typically with the idea of evoking persuasive emotions from the listener, they encourage the listeners to define the meaning of the slogan. Specifically what does Make American Great Again really mean to you.

It's obvious. Restore border control. Deport violent illegal criminals. Make our DOJ be an actual "justice system" and not a Democratic Hit Squad. Get the Democrats out of our intelligence agencies and Homeland Security. Put Iran back in the box AGAIN.

1. I'll settle for a lot less government spending and getting rid of some government agencies along with the bureaucrats working in them.

2. Bringing our manufacturing base back because the countries producing those items aren't honoring the terms of the trade agreements. (Slave & child labor)

3. No new wars

4. Closing the border.

5. Oh!!! And a lot of the corrupt bureaucrats need to spend some time in prison with forfeiture of assets gained by their corruption

So lets see how great America would be after 3 months of border closures and no cheap foreign goods. The American economy would collapse and you MAGA Trumpeters would be begging to open our borders and make America great again.

I think what you really mean is put a Stalin in the Whitehouse who would not be hampered by Congress or the Courts or American Democracy.

Got news for you. It's already collapsed otherwise trillions of dollars wouldn't have to be spent to prop up the dead body as the inflation worms eat away at it.

Welcome to the Great Depression that will make the one of last century look like a recession.

You clearly don't know history and you have it completely backwards. Trump is the victim of Democrat Stalinism. There has never been such a corruption of the court system to destroy a political opponent since the Stalin Regime.

A collapsing economy? Hardly, GDP up 3%, wage growth of 4.5% while inflation is 2.5% and the stock market up 46% since Biden took office. You have a strange idea as to what constitutes a depression.

Fine! Have congress submit a yearly budget, like they're supposed to, and they have to stick to it for the year.
