Do you really think that's a fair assessment of what "MAGA" have been doing for the past 8 years? Maybe the last 4 years, but they were hardly saying such things when their boy was in office.

Actually, I don't care. What I really want to know is what your point is? "They do it, so it's okay if we do it?" They are, for the most part, a bunch of reactionaries. Trump's base is largely uneducated, lower-middle-class white Christians who don't understand why liberals are radically deconstructing Western civilization around their ears and are terrified of the Brave New World liberals are ushering in. They are reacting out of fear, panic, and resentment towards a cultural elite that considers them ignorant rabble that needs to be told to shut the fuck up, rather than educated -- and often it appears that the cultural elite doesn't want to explain itself because whenever it tries, it's so obviously intellectually bankrupt that even the uneducated rabble can see right through it.

Shouldn't you be better than that? Isn't that your whole premise? That you're smarter than them?
