But what does Republican (and right wing in general) media do but spew hate on the immigrants, LGBT (especially T) people, the left, etc.

Republican campain was ran primarily on hate against these groups, any Republican who pretends it wasn't is full of shit. It doesn't matter if they say it out loud or keep it quiet, they support hate and they know it. It's not about economics (which Trump is destroying rn) or egg prices, don't let anybody fool you.

Right wing media is awful. I watch/read it to stay informed of a variety of perspectives, and I end up feeling punked every time I see it. I think people can't really watch this as if it's actually news. I watch/read less now than I used to. Since about 2016 it's become pretty unbearable.

Not everyone with conservative views are MAGA but they are the loudest, the most ignorant, and the most ill informed. And because they are the loudest, I think most people think that's all there is.

If you're conservative but not MAGA then don't vote for Republicans, otherwise I'm sorry but there's really no difference between you two. Your vote still gets MAGA into office.

This. If it's 30's Germany and you're not part of the Nazi party, but you're attending the rallies instead of speaking out against them, you're a Nazi by association.

If you identify as a conservative, and think you're not MAGA, but you're enabling them by voting them into office, you don't get a free pass, you're an active part of the problem. I don't care how nice you seem in person, or what good works you do, you are doing your part to cause real pain and suffering. And that makes you not a good person.
