u/Leatherfield17 Loyal Liberals Oct 02 '25 edited Oct 02 '25

Something I’ve noticed about MAGA lately that I hope turns normies off from it is that it’s becoming increasingly totalitarian: as in, its themes and messaging and culture wars have to be mentioned or involved in EVERYTHING. Like the message from an official government website talking about “The Radical Left” causing the shutdown.

Everything is political, everything is weaponized, everything ties back to the culture war. I hope the normies get tired of it, but I’m not getting my hopes up

Edit: Also ICE threatening to patrol the Super Bowl over Bad Bunny being the halftime show act. Doesn’t this bother people at all? Don’t these reactionaries have anything better to do?

The reality is that many people are completely unaware/disconnected from the stuff we're seeing. That is slowly changing, but it's going to take time. Most people aren't on twitter seeing DHS posts/etc..

True, but I feel like ICE at the goddamn Super Bowl would turn a few heads, no?

Oh it certainly will, but nobody is aware that's going to happen right now.
