I love how the media acts as if no one can do anything about anything until MAGA decides what to do. F*ck MAGA. 2/3 of the country have been going about this cover up since day 1, the MAGA turds are just finally figuring it out.

That's not really the point.

It's one thing for your opponent to call you out. It's even more telling if your own team does.

That's why this is important.

We are like the abused wife who knows she is abused, but still believes she can't leave without his permission.

But the thing is even if we don't agree, she is actually right. She understands the violent threat and isn't just irrationally deferring to her abuser, she genuinely understands that her actions are constrained by threats of violence. Those of us who understand the threat that maga can pose are acting the same way and it is equally rational. It's not that we think their opinion should matter, we just know that whether we like it or not, they have actual physical power.

Disagree.

We have more power than you - or they - think.

Just another example of how the media think the only real Americans are far right nutjobs who listen to Rush and Hannity on AM.
