The thing about the whole "right vs left" situation in the US, is that it's all a myth. It's actually stupid vs wise. What the US needs to learn is that stupidity is nor just a failing of wisdom, but a moral failing, and poison to democracy.
You'd have to be fucking stupid to believe what Trump campaigned on was going to make America great. Not everyone on the MAGA side is stupid, some of them are literally just exploiting the stupidity of their cult... it earns them wealth. Then there are those who are both stupid and exploiting the stupidity of others (like Trump and Marjory Taylor-Green).
If I may define what I mean by stupidity: it's this group think, this cult-like credulity toward demagogues who are bent on hurting others. These stupid people believe they know some kind of "secret language" that the demagogue is using, Trump in this case. It's just basic mind tricks, "give them 2+2 not 4, and it will make stupid people think they're smart by getting the answer."
Also selective listening, they see all the stuff Trump campaigned on that they didn't like and wrote it off as "he's being sarcastic! You just have to know why he's saying it." Again, a hallmark of stupidity. And this is why, when Trump announces X, so many of those stupid people are shouting, "Hey! This isn't what I voted for!" even though they very much voted for Trump who campaigned on X. Another type of stupidity we're seeing a lot of is that they actually did vote for X, but were too stupid to think about the negative consequences of what they were voting on.
So, to get back to my point, what the US has to do is figure out a way to drive these fucking stupid morons back into being a lunatic fringe movement. This fucking shit isn't just taking apart the US, it's harming the rest of the world. If the US isn't capable of that, perhaps the country has run its course and it's time for the US to split up. Let the MAGA states form their own confederacy. At least when the war against MAGA starts, it'll be a short and campaign through the Confederacy of MAGAland instead of World War 3. The American refugees who fled MAGAland can then get their properties back, and more.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
