I’m not referring to the Bible thumpers. Most of these folks cannot imagine how mass deportations and tariffs will hurt them.

The heart of MAGA is ignorance, I believe. The majority of my MAGA family do not read - anything. Their views are informed from Fox and the pulpit. Take transgender kids. The majority of Americans fully support banning these babies from sports. They believe a third of child athletes in the country identify as trans. The fact is out of 500,000 or so NCAA athletes only 10 identify as transgendered. That’s right 10.

They don’t see the big thorn at the middle of this shiny object and that is a parent’s right to consent to medical care for their minor child. More erosion of our basic rights wrapped up in a shiny ball.

What was that about the leopard face eating party?
