Slice it up by race and sex then, too. White people have more wealth than minorities and men have more wealth than women. Not minorities and women are more likely to be Repo. And Repos are more likely to think they did it all on their own, bless their hearts. |
Every day, the Trump machine puts out scores of texts and appeals to the rank and file to become KING MAGA and SUPER MAGE supporters with ***5 to 1*** or ***8 to 1*** matches and other BS. And at $25 or $50 at a time, the rank and file are still supporting him. Do you not know this? |
General attitudes in red states like Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisania, Alabama etc seem to bigly undermine this suggestion. |

I actually think this is an interesting question- what makes someone MAGA? I don't think the country as a whole has decided on a definition, but since it is a campaign slogan, I think it has to be:
MAGA = someone who currently supports Trump Everyone else would just be Republican, conservative, or whatever other label you want to use. The difference is between policy stance (even morally reprehensible one) and tolerance of absolute corruption. There are people who strongly support the policy objectives of the far right, but who abhor the corruption and threat to democracy itself that Trump and his administration posed. And those people are not MAGA. |
Yup, there was a study in Science magazine that said the whole trope that Republicans are happier was basically non-existent because conservatives rated higher on a self-delusion scale. They are literally making it up, like everything else that comes out of their mouths. https://www.science.org/content/article/new-study-questions-trope-conservatives-are-happier-liberals |
Oh... you mean Trump supporters, who are also republicans, are funding Trump. Ok. When you said "average republican" I thought you mean people donating to the RNC. |
And Comet Pizza doesn’t even have a basement. |
That's the MAGA-est part of the whole thing. Gun-totin' MAGA; "Ahm here to rescue the children in the basement!!! Now show me wear the basement is!" "Uh... sir, we don't have a basement." |
Sorry, the Dems are no longer a big umbrella party. They may be a better party, but they only want sycophants. The veil has been lifted. |
Well, you are going to have to do the hard work of citing data and showing proof of this claim. |
LOL, this article cites as a source a study that claims that you can gauge people's happiness based on how much they smile in their social media photos. It criticizes a claimed "self-enhancing" style of reporting without explaining why this should be discounted as a factor for underlying happiness. For example, if a person is happy with her own weight, despite his/her circle of friends who feel otherwise about the person's weight, how does this "delusion" change the fact that the person is actually happy in this regard? How is this any less valid of a form of happiness than someone who feels getting likes on their social media posts is a healthy form of social interaction? So in the end, the entire premise of this article is that if you discount what makes Republicans happier than Democrats, then Republicans are not happier. Well, no sh*t. |
The RNC is also supporting Trump. |
Are they? They are literally paying him not to run. I'm not sure if that is support. https://abcnews.go.com/US/rnc-warning-trump-run-president-stop-paying-legal/story?id=87486985 |
Gross that you're making light of this for political points. Families were in the restaurant when this occured. The shooter, who by all accounts was an actually decent person who was terribly misled by conspiracy theories, thought he was going to save kids. This is the result of unchecked internet trolls, not Trump. And, check your notes-- Obama was president when this occurred. So gross. |
A random dude drive hundreds of miles to “investigate” a baseless conspiracy involving nonexistent kids who weren’t in a nonexistent basement of a pizza restaurant. He entered the restaurant armed with an AR15 and a pistol prepared to “sacrifice a few lives.” The discharged the rifle while inside the restaurant where families were eating with children. He’s now serving four years in prison because he’s a f*****g moron and a danger to society. But maybe he should have tried to “rescue” something else imaginary like the Tooth Fairy. Please seek mental health counseling. |
