There's a certain kind of ideological alignment there, as odd as it may be.
- anonzzzies 2y agoYeah, I guess in my circles the term MAGA is abused to point at people who are not quite nazi's but want 'other stuff' but don't have the mental capacity to formulate what that is or how it would work (except racism and violence, but even that is not quite ... well ... coherent). For instance in my home country NL, my friends now group 'tokkies' (people who are rude, have a garbage heap in their garden and like to beat and shoot things) and 'wappies' (conspiracy nuts) as MAGA as it's the same kind of 1 braincell carrying kind of people. I personally don't quite know how to handle them as it's basically more sad than anything; before the internet I didn't know that many of these people existed in my country. Let alone that they can get voted into government and make policy (well... policy... anyway). In the 80s we had 1 guy; JanMaat and he was a joke of a person; no-one took him in any way seriously, so there was no way extreme right would get anywhere with this slackjawed idiot at the helm. Now these people get voted in... How?
