    Only in your mind. Most Republicans love this country and envision a return to it being great.

    It's a silly campaign slogan that LW derangement and obsession has turned into an idiotic word that should be ignored in intelligent discussions. (and forum posts :lol:)

    So you're okay with judging the roughly 67 million people who voted for Trump based on the actions of about 3 to 500 people?

    Is that the same standards that you want us to use on you progressives?

    Read my post again if you wonder what I said. I said absolutely nothing about 67M voters. You made that connection, not me.

    By their fruits you shall know them! What does that mean to you?

    Feel free to judge them any way you want. I don't see why I should care.

    So.... you are determined to say that the burning of Minneapolis was a peaceful protect, but that the tiny portion of the 200,000 plus people at the capitol protest entering the capitol illegally, where no fires were set and the only death was to an unarmed woman shot (not by the protestors) but having no consequence for the shooter... Where the evil people doing this walked through the hall of statues, and honored the velvet ropes designed to keep tourist on path... and videos prove that there were inciters in the crowd, specifically working to promote entering the capitol, commmiting the crime of inciting riot- Who have been identified, but not arrested or in any way followed up on by the authorities.... WAS AN INSURRECTION TO OVERTHROW THE GOVERNMENT.

    I don't think you are that short of intelligence. I think you know all that is true. Do you not recognize a set-up scenario this obvious when you see it? Of course you do.. So I ask myself- WHY do you deny that, and want to help the people trying to turn a far more peaceful protest than Minneapolis into some kind of fake crime?

    It's not like you haven't seen them pull this crap before, it started the moment Trump ran, demonstrated openly when it was discovered that Hillary conceived and financed the infamous "Dossier". It's what those people do, for gods sake. Typical, standard practice.

    You are entitled to hate freedom- for yourself. Not for the rest of us.

    You aren't for a moment going to claim that YOU describe it as it really is. I think Hitler pulled a job kind of like that on the Jews, telling all his people that the only reason their lives weren't great was that jews were so evil. People like being told to blame someone else, and are suckers for the worst despots to harvest because of that inability to think for themselves.

    I reckon MAGA is a better slogan than the alternative MABA (Make America Bad Again).

    Some eople see things diffently. Trump was an inept President and accomplished little.Desantis is doing much better in Florida, especially points 3 and 4.

    Even Biden is coming around on point 1.

    Here's some MAGA for ya.

    House Republican files articles of impeachment against DHS Sec. Mayorkas

    Texas Republican Rep. Pat Fallon has filed impeachment articles against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, delivering on a promise he made last week before the 118th Congress was officially sworn in.

    The articles of impeachment against Mayorkas for "high crimes and misdemeanors," known as House Resolution 8, were introduced by Fallon in the House on Monday and have been referred to the House Judiciary Committee.

    Congrats to Pat for being the first contestant in the "2023, Who's the Craziest of the Crazy" competition.

    I can't define what MAGA is. However, I know MAGA people. They generally watch Fox News, Newsmax etc. 24/7, where they are taught that Democrats are the devil who want to destroy America, and Trump is the savior, who can make all the Dem destruction go away. Many of them are proud to wear their politics on their sleeve, wearing MAGA hats, F your Feelings and Let's go Brandon shirts, and fly Trump flags. Most of them are generally good people, who have been led astray by propaganda that serves the divide and conquer mindset of politics.

    If 80% of Republicans might be expected to support a MAGA candidate, nearly all Democrats, most Independents, and 20% of Republicans voting against the MAGA is not auspicious.

    As perotista astutely observed, MAGA is Trumpery, and Trumpery is a loser.

    Many reasons. We used to make stuff in this country. Now we just buy foreign made products.

    But, he didn't ask what "Make America Great Again" means. He asked what MAGA means, and though it "may" have started out to mean make America great again, it evolved into something entirely different; even to those who now claim to march under it's banner it is more associated with support of Donald Judas tRump than anything to do with America. To those people it is a rallying cry to support, defend and uphold tRaitor tRump.

    To those that oppose tRaitor tRump as the polar opposite of Government BY the people it is an insult. An insult to anyone that loves this GREAT country, to the American way of life, to all American patriots hold dear and, has NOTHING to do with America or American Greatness - quite the opposite.
