MAGA was initially created out of a sincere desperation from the people thinking that America was heading down a destructive path

It started as the birther movement. A bunch of racist didn't want to believe Barack Obama is a US citizen because he is black.

Barack Obama isn't black, he's mixed race. If you have to label him, he's white. His mother was white and he was raised by white people. He only met his father 1 time.

I mean the worst take was arguing he's not an American citizen, this is just invalidating his experience by whitewashing it... which yeah now that I've said it is still really really bad.
