I don't imagine many MAGAts huddle around the TV set to watch Lawrence O'Donnell on weeknights.

And I guess that because I am what I consider to be a "reasonably well-adjusted adult male," I am in total agreement with everything you laid out, and I have absolutely none of that in me.

I sucked at sports in school. As a result, I didn't become the world's biggest sports fan. But I'll occasionally turn on a football or baseball game and consider it to be "entertaining." I really don't think we have to be "ALL IN" on EVERYTHING in life. If I put on Neil Young & Crazy Horse's "Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere," I am all in, 100%, transfixed. Baseball and football? "Fun every once in a while.""

But the phobias and fetishes and obsessions of the MAGAt dudes? Might as well speak a foreign language to me that I don't understand, you know?
