shavenferret said: Interesting, so many of us are worried about Trump winning. While the MAGA crowd isn't motivated as much by fear, they still want what the candidate that best supports their views. Should this fear be a pain point to motivate independents and dems to go out and vote to a greater degree? This can't just be a bubble. I'm not saying that this forum is representative of the US or anything but rather that the concerns that Trump brings are more common than you'd think. |
MAGA is very motivated by fear: fear of supposedly lawless immigrants flooding into the country and ruining the property value and economy (hide the pets!), fear of women having more bodily autonomy and a decreasing (white) population that undermines their status as the majority of the population, fear of supposed moral decline with the empowerment of said women along with other minority groups like LGBTQ, fear of rising social awareness and knowledge of history (you know, "woke"), and just fear of a changing climate of the times in general. That last one is ironic, because they don't fear climate change at all.
EDIT: I should have finished getting caught up on the rest of the thread before replying. I see that I'm just repeating what others have already said.
