MAGA is the meth of politics.

You try it on a whim in 2015 because you don’t like how your life is going and BOOM, seven years later you’re a ranting cuckoo crazy person, screaming that the president isn’t real and Arizona is gonna be its own country.

1. I can't get over how completely disloyal and anti-American they are as citizens

[onecaliberal]

2. Live off your own tax revenue while you're at it.

When the next disaster hits your state don’t come crying to that federal government. The fact that she doesn’t support the federal government should be disqualifying. How can you truthfully take the oath when you don’t support the constitution? This is the party of piss wig they support nothing for the people.

3. They take an oath. What in their little brains do they think they are swearing to defend?

[onecaliberal]

4. Idk. Anti democracy people should NEVER be allowed to hold office.

5. Winning that lawsuit against MTG would go a long way

Unfortunately the judge tossed out the one against Cawthorn

[onecaliberal]

8. The judge presiding over her case already said that was bologna

So there is that.

11. What if they win an election? NT

[onecaliberal]

12. They shouldn't qualify to be on the ballot, so there would be no electing them.

I know what you’re getting at, and you bet your sweet bippy I believe anyone who participated in trying to overturn a free and fair election should be tossed from Congress or any government position anywhere.

6. MAGA is a strong dose of meth followed by a Bud Light chaser.

10. A room temperature Bud Lite with...

...a cigarette butt in it.

7. I noticed the AZ Gov candidate is on some moronic show called "Real America"...

...I'm guessing this is someone's idea of a non-infringing version of the Real America's Voice "network" (which is basically just a YouTube channel). Does anyone know where this is coming from? Local AZ show?

9. Maga is a cult, and cults trap you in ways similar to ways that addiction does.

I am drafting an opinion piece on the subjects, nothing fancy since it's all by analogy.

However, when you compare the manifestations and mechanisms, they are remarkably similar.

They have no problem with lies and contradictions as long as the group/addiction are served.

They both shut out anything that does not reinforce the group/addiction, and project members' failings onto others.

They both work on the "old brain"/limbic system.

And one escapes often by "hitting rock bottom", when the lies and contradictions are overwhelming, or through outside acts of kindness (which can be rejected repeatedly until they aren't)

That's all I'll say because I am NOT a psychologist.

The subject line says all you need to deal with it.

The hope is that enough people come to their senses to tip close races.

Elections seem to be won "at the edge"

Professionals are invited to critique, but what we can do is message the self-destructive nature of the cult and the wacky projection in the sense of "Every accusation is a confession."

13. Bill Maher pointed out that there's no difference between Trump and the NXIVM Cult leader:
