        Because this convention was in the aftermath of Jan 6, and they were scrambling to both normalize insurrection attempts as well as “own the libs.” From that perspective it was a perfect theme. We should ensure the moniker sticks.

          Which is why I always say that MAGA will ultimately be destroyed by their own virtuosic incompetence. It’s almost inevitable, they are just too stupid and ignorant to succeed. An eventual fatal fuck up is inevitable.

          This is a perfect example. When they should have been running as fast as possible in the opposite direction, they actually thought it was a good idea to double down, and embrace domestic terrorism in the wake of their treasonous insurrection.

          In the future, when the PROGRESSIVE Dems take back America, this photo will be a major piece of evidence in establishing MAGA as a treasonous, racist, terrorist hate group. They can’t blame this on Libz, this is their own doing. They freely admitted it, and promoted to America and the World. No walking that one back.

          That will allow MAGA to be dismantled, abolished, and prohibited.

            The Nazi regime didn’t implode, despite its incompetence and endless faction-fighting. It took all that, plus vast amounts of military force, to force them out.

              Who said anything about Nazis? The Nazis weren’t incompetent, just the opposite, mostly. They knew what the fuck they were doing, that’s why they were so hard to destroy. So hard, in fact, that apparently we didn’t even succeed like we thought we did.

              MAGAs are far different. They literally embrace ignorance as a virtue. They will reject intelligent concepts, simply because they are intelligent, or worse, simply because their “opponents” endorse those concepts. MAGAThink is: They are for it, so we are automatically against it, no matter how good an idea it is.

              However, every day that passes makes it more and more inevitable that dislodging and crushing MAGA is almost certainly going to take some serious violence. Hopefully we won’t have to bomb entire cities to rubble, like it took for Germany to straighten out.

            I hope you’re right. Repugs could easily succumb to their own stupidity, sure. But it’s a tall task ahead for progressives.

            They not only have to beat the corporate dems who presently run the party and also rig the primaries to remain in control, but then they have to go on to beat republicans rigging national elections. All while the corporate media is demagoguing them like it’s the red scare 2.0. With enough people behind them, it can happen, but how to break through to such a downtrodden and heavily propagandized people?
