They have always been bad faith actors followed by brainwashed cultists.
It’s not changed, they’ve just taken the mask off a bit more now. Some of us could always see through it
MAGA hasn’t changed. Whom they believe will be the targets of government intervention has changed.
“My hate speech is free speech” but “Your hate speech is intolerable”
“My tiktok propaganda is patriotic” but “Your tiktok propaganda is treason”
“My military actions promote world peace” but “Your pointless wars are unsustainable”
Trump talked about perving on the girls in the Miss USA pageant years ago.

Here are some pictures of Trump doing absolutely normal things with his teenage daughter.

MAGA knew what Trump was in 2015 and loved him anyway.
Yeah, MAGA hasn’t changed, and it was never admirable. In addition to what you said, Trump’s Acces Hollywood tape was his October Surprise in 2016. That’s the one where he talks about grabbing women “by the pussy.”
He’s confessing a habit of sexual assault. And the tape doesn’t sound like he’s joking. We’ve seen since then testimony that he did that exact thing to E Jean Carrol, which basically confirms that he wasn’t joking.
The same goes for the other points. There’s no before and after here except for the mask gradually slipping 'til they just went fuck it and tore it off all the way.
Imagine thinking MAGA was anything but fascist racist bigoted garbage.
In a large way it is. We know people don’t know what the politicians are. They voted for reform. Part of that reform was no Wars, to end this globalization bullshit, to make the rich screwing us pay. Because the Democrats refused to pursue those the Republicans were able to lie about them pursuing them. This all just shows a real muscular reform candidate could win overwhelmingly and Usher in 100 Years of prosperity like FDR did.
They were always like this, you’re just getting older and smarter and you can see through the packaging and the branding and the propaganda better now.
Inaccurate on account of maga never having been gigachads
That’s a nice way of putting it.
this is the weirdest fucking rewriting of history ever.
i know lemmy is full of libs, but fuck, if its filling up with chuds imma have to leave soon…
I know what a bunch of ml people mean by libs, but what’s chuds? I thought that was just MAGA-Qanut fuckwits.
a chud is anyone i dislike
only slightly /s
ML is that way —>
thinking a pedophile, rapist billionaire and their followers, shouldnt be portrayed in this way marks me as ml? my friend, im sorry, i think you should rethink how you see politicians and ideology.
Thats a really silly take for “No, MAGA was never cool, admirable, or intellectually honest and a meme suggesting that is pretty ridiculous”.
I think most of us agree with that, I think they’re just reacting to the lib pejorative. I could be wrong though.
The top set of images needs to be removed, then copy the bottom images to the top. Then the meme is accurate.
For those of you that dont seem to get it: This is a meme you are supposed to share with magats who will see it and get pissed off (insecure). its not supposed to be “truthful”.
so they’ll go back to the good old days, when they were chanting “Jews will not replace us” and celebrating the death of Black people?
yeah no thanks!
Okay, but this meme is such an attack on my psyche that there is no way I’m sharing it.
Should play on their cognitive dissonance, but that assumes they have enough conscious thought to hold two pieces of conflicting thoughts at the same time.
That actually makes sense. otoh, I’m sure they’ve already been spoon fed the cure by Fox News et al.
MAGAts are the most open minded people alive. Like an empty cup, they’ll fill with any liquid poured or pissed in.
The picture is way too overdone, it should show a slightly flabier guy every frame. Seriously you should fix this shit cuz it would be good otherwise.
But I love Mr. Man plugging his head plug into his own face socket!
It’s cuz they fawn over politicians. Their parasocial relationship with Trump is more important than any policy goals.
They’re both at the same time, like all historic fascists. Strong, but weak.
It’s always been about “in-groups to protect and out-groups to bind”, and “You do what I tell you. No one tells me what to do.” They have never argued in good faith.
