Why do magats hate us and our country...?

...the head magat and his cult of magats seem to hate most of us. Where did this hatred come from...?

...they disrespect, violate and subvert our electoral process, our judicial system, our Constitution, our veterans, our national security, the diversity of our population, our sense of unity and well-being...

...magats argue the system should go easy on their convicted head magat because he's old, a former president, his was just a little crime...but they continue to spread the destruction and lies nonetheless...

...shouldn't we be hammering harder and demand more from a convicted ex-president and this cult...?

...they've done and are continuing to do intentionally destructive things to us and our country...

...people in a positions of power and authority should be expected to know better, do the right thing and should not be rewarded for destructive behavior...

...why do magats hate us and our country...?

...:I don't know...

For Magats, they’re shamelessly afflicted with that disposition.

They're obligated by political, financial, familial, business, religious ties to support the cult leader who wants to usurp power and mostly money so the entire cult is marginally better off financially. It's an inside heist. They perceive themselves as having to pay for the "others" who they learn to hate. Their world is a survival-of-the-fittest, Darwinian every-man-for-himself struggle. They believe God has placed them on top to rule for Him. Generating hatred binds them together.

And they lost their fucking minds over it.

Plain and simple.

Politics is a pendulum, and when we elected Obama it pushed that pendulum really far to the left. Coupled with the relaxing social acceptance of the LGBTQ community among other liberal and progressive social constructs and sprinkle in an increasingly diverse American electorate and these mouth breathers are easily convinced they are being robbed.

They feel, or have been convinced they have been robbed of their country, of their "freedoms" (because decent people find their bigotry disgusting) their religion (because they can't shove it down everyone's throats so easily these days) and their power )because they don't get their way all the time like they used to.

Why do they hate us and our country? Because they don't want to live in the future we are creating. They want to live in some fantasy past where every neighborhood is a copy of "Leave it to Beaver", black folks know their place and women didn't have sex for fun.

That's why. Obama knocked their noses WAAAY out of joint.

This is the payback,

Fox. All the other right wing bullshitting media jumped on their model. So Fox and Murdock are destroying the country, and getting paid great to do it. What possibly is more anti American than that network and every single snot nosed host they march out day after days to spew hate. It’s in every one of their faces, drenched in raw hate. But they say Jesus a whole lot and wear crosses to prove their devotion to his teachings. Deport the whole fucking bunch of em. Putin is hiring soldiers.

Fox and their spinoffs have helped to raise a couple generations of brainwashed monsters.

And people "suddenly waking up" and seeing what they are is not going to happen.

They need to be crushed until they are gone. Should have started happening 25+ years ago.

Most of us (from "Boomers" on to Gen A) have a rather sullen child who never wanted to grow up in us. The one who still wants to be the center of attention, who wants to be indulged because we didn't need to share our world with others for the most part.
But we grew up. We live in a world where we are aware we share it with everyone and everything going on around us that has their own meanings, and we try to make the world better for all of us.

MAGAts don't want to, and both Trump and the whole Prosperity Gospel/Christian Nationalist philosophy cater to that desire; that You, Mr. Well-Off or Mr. White Guy, are Kings within Gawd's universe, and You, Ms. Well-Off or. Ms. White Girl, are a Princess, and the rest are peasants who are only tools existing to worship and serve you.

Maybe a bit of hyperbole, but every single MAGA I've ever met are emotionally young teenagers who grew up physically into some form of reasonably successful adult, but they still carry some of that confused resentment in that somehow, their adulthood isn't working out the way they were told it should be TV trope world (do what you want in a good guy gets rewarded/bad guy gets punished), because those other uppity people seem to be getting free passes to do whatever they want without getting punished.
