Campaigning against MAGA is like a "Catch-22"

You're damned if you do and damned if you don't.

It seems like the more facts that are exposed on their Leader, the more they feel the need to defend him.

Recent polls show Trump in the mid-30's in approval.

But the Trumpalooza in DC on the Fourth gave MAGA a reason to believe again. The white nationalist group, Patriot Front, came into DC with new uniforms, new flags, but the same old hatred. They were there to show their support for Donald Trump.

We were reminded once again of the irrational, but passionate, support of the MAGA movement. It seems he cannot abuse them enough to make them stop loving him.

It has come down to two options: Either be accused of Trump Derangement Syndrome or be accused of being in a cult. I would much prefer the former.

If i have the unfortunate encounter with them, and they start spewing their nonsense, I plan to let them spew for a few sentences, then plan to look at them and say something along the lines of "You really aren't that stupid, are you?" then just walk away.
