Any ex-MAGAs willing to share that mindset?

Simple as that.

I think that's a really fair observation. No matter what Trump does or says (illegal, corrupt, insane, or just plain stupid), MAGA twists itself into pretzels defending him and/or creating an alternative reality. They'll never say a negative word about him. That actually is cult-like behavior.

The problem is, I don’t know of ANY former MAGAs. That’s the scary part. Sure, I know of republicans who didn’t vote for him this time. But I am talking about the full-on MAGA folks. The rally goers, insurrectionists, folks with Trump tattoos, etc. The ones who can’t see any fault in anything he does. Nobody seems to leave this cult.

So, if you are out there, please share. What was your mindset? How/why were you able to dismiss everything he has done? What happened to finally change your mind? Any suggestions on how to help our friends/relatives see the light? Any insight would be much appreciated!

To those of you who are about to call me dramatic for calling it a cult…when you are in a cult, you don’t know you are in a cult.

I’m a Harris voter and you are why we lost. You need to leave your own deep cult.

Are there people with Harris flags and tattoos? Are there conspiracy theories around Harris that have spawned violence?

No?

Then it isn't a cult.

The cult is the far left. The progressives are a cult that’s as systematic and deep as the MAGA.

Yes.

We don't have tattoos on our foreheads and flags on our lawns of any democratic politicians.

But you do put signs out in front of your house with your cult chants printed on them.

Oh yeah, cult chants like "equal rights for all" and "science rules." LMAO.

I'm LOOKING at one of these signs out my own window at my neighbor's house where it has stood for the better part of a decade now
In This House We Believe:
Black Lives Matter - we send money to grifters
No Human Is Illegal - open borders
Love is Love - gay marriage which has been legal for years
Women's Rights are Human Rights - pro-abortion which is already totally unlimited in my state
Science is Real - reduce carbon emissions by any means necessary
Kindness is Everything - right.

The signs are silly. But why do you find them so offensive and find it difficult to understand perhaps the sentiments pertain to a desire for everyone to live in the world described.

Strikes me that it’s nicer to live across from that instead of “deport them” and “lock her up” and whatever other bullying phrase trumpsters are using.

Why does it make you so angry??

Where did you get angry from that? I think it's completely stupid but I'm not angry. Currently cooking Thanksgiving dinner for my husband's lefty family who are looking forward to trying to argue with us. I will be deflecting and offering more potatoes. On Thanksgiving Day I will be working a shift at the hospital.

Wrong. He's fat, his golf swing is overrated, and he needs to shut his mouth and listen more. His policies made him a better option.

Michael Fanone, one of the LEO at the Capitol who forced back the insurrectionists, is an example of someone who voted for Trump, who had a big change of heart and mind on that day.

All the MAGA people I know are immature and have a spiteful streak, plus a smattering of ex-pat Russians who support him for strategic reasons. You can see the mentality in the posts right here on dcum. Many seem like they are written by teenagers.

Thank you for your highbrow post.

+1..I've groaned at many things Trump has done. He's consistently embarrassing. Still voted for him.

It’s good that the sign doesn’t make you angry. It seemed from your definition of what each line meant to you that you were. Have a quiet shift tomorrow.

Seems to me that many of the J6 defendants also had a big change of heart.

So many people on the left shunning and rejecting friends and family members who voted differently than they did. I honestly don’t think I’ve ever seen that from people on the right, MAGA or otherwise.

No, they just call us crazy and stupid. Many such posts on this very forum.

No it makes me an Independent, I despise both R and D's equally.
