I needed to hear this today, thank you! I have a brother who is a MAGA and while it’s “easier” to write him off, it’s actually not helpful. I know this, but it’s hard when I’m spending all my time trying to help those directly harmed and fearful, I forgot- he too is being harmed. Thanks again!
It is very similar to leaving many cults. This is a political cult vs a religious one. But same in so many ways. It’s hard to recognize when you are in an abusive relationship. That is also a dynamic at play with MAGA. Keep up this work.
Awesome stuff. I have helped myself by maintaining a friendship with a MAGA guy. He believes a lot of the same things I do, but in talking with him I can see how his media has misled him (and he feels he is educating me!) And we can talk about it. For example, he was also dumbstruck by the rapid rise of Elon, and sent me a link to Pink Floyd's 'Animals'! We both appreciate the relevance of 1984 and Soylent Green today.
