36. The MAGATs seem preoccupied with haircuts right now.

I have a theory about that. I think these are the same uptight people - and the children and grandchildren of those - who had hysterics in the 1960s and 70s about long hair. They equate long hair with being a hippy, being liberal, being radical.

Fear of long hair is so deeply ingrained in them, they are truly distressed not to be able to get their weekly haircuts now. They're literally rioting to hold up signs begging for haircuts.

I had no idea. It's a window into MAGATs' view of life. We talked a lot about repression and uptight people in the 1970s, but I had no idea.
