MAGA has a viewpoint and is not interested in debate or discussion. When they reply to anything non-MAGA, they generally respond to a left-wing, lunatic straw man, not to the actual person or question. This type of person will not fit well at any highly selective college because great colleges are places of skepticism and open-ended inquiry. MAGA hates the very essence of that, and the university will shun them for their hate. MAGA fits best where everyone is singing from the MAGA hymn book and not questioning anything. Liberty is a good fit.
Traditional conservatives have a bias, but they are still thinking adults and willing to thoughtfully engage other viewpoints. They value the university’s open inquiry and a highly selective university will love them back for it. Go to UVA or WM.
DP. I got a good giggle out of the bolded, considering you just described liberals in absolutely perfect projection. If one doesn't agree 1000% with liberals, they are shunned, mocked, and shouted down. At this point, we've all witnessed this terrible behavior. But nice try.
I don’t think you understand liberals or you’re thinking about leftist, lunatic straw man liberals.
If liberals “demand” anything, it’s skepticism and open inquiry. So, if you’re against that, you’re going to get some questions. But I would much rather support such values than those espoused by MAGA. The two are very different.
On the other hand, if you’re referring to straw man liberals, you’re doing exactly as the bolded statement suggests and replying mostly to a small population of individuals or a creation of your own imagination that you can knock down, laugh at, and suggest represents all liberals. That may be your fame, but it’s not reality, which is typical MAGA.

Do you even see the irony in your own words? You - and the other extremists insisting all conservatives are "MAGA" - are using "MAGA" as your own LWNJ straw man. Every nutty post on this thread is accusing conservatives of being "MAGA." Should we accuse all Democrats of being lunatic LWNJs? Because frankly, that's what DCUM feels like. I haven't seen any "skepticism and open inquiry" on the part of DCUM's finest - only shouting down and calling anyone who dares to disagree with them, "racists, incels," and a whole host of -isms. No thanks.

Go walk around campus or grounds in a maga hat and let us know how that went for you.
MAGAs aren’t conservative. They are a fascist cult of personality whose adherents tried to violently overthrow the elected government of the United States.

OK. I'll amend to every single "conservative" who voted for Trump is MAGA.
Honestly, I don’t even think this is true. I know some who had no faith in Kamala and some who think the “trans thing” has gone “too far,” but otherwise disagree with everything MAGA.
And now their friends and family are being deported because they didn’t think it would happen to them.

If you think Trump is an acceptable POTUS then you are MAGA.

BS. Most conservatives are MAGA.
They SAY they’re “conservative “ because they don’t understand the words they use. This is Pol Sci 101.
They are not conservative. They are reactionary.
