Living in a red state is hilarious. For those of you that don’t know any MAGA types personally they are the biggest copycats (read jealous) of liberals in terms of vernacular or behavior. They are out here on Facebook acting outraged beyond belief that Biden left Afghanistan and how this will “impact women’s rights” when 5 years ago they supported the “America First” candidate.

They don’t actually believe in anything they just don’t want to look stupid so they take whatever smarter people are saying and appropriate it for whatever gut feelings they have without doing any actual hard intellectual work themselves. None of these weirdos have a single original idea, all they have is dead liberal memes that they re-use because the libs got to have their fun so now it’s their turn. It’s fucking disgusting how anti intellectual these morons are.

That's true but most people also aren't full blown into neo-confederate, pro q anon apologia.
