Is it the media fascination with outliers like Joe McCarthy and tfg that kept them in the headlines for too long that empowers Tommy, Clarence, Donnie, and Jimmy? We don’t hear about the revolving door of Donnie’s administration when most everyone had ACTING in their title, we never hear about all the work Kamala Harris and others in the administration are doing, we barely hear about President Biden’s many thoughtful speeches. Hats off to Richardson, Vance, Rather, Kirschner, Maddow, O’Donnell and others for being the voices in the wilderness. Big liberal media is too afraid of being “political” (or maybe afraid of the nut jobs with guns.)

This is the best description of the Maga movement I've seen. I think it gives some insights into the people involved that most of the time we fail to see, or to acknowledge. I don't know the answer, but looking at it like this helps me to understand what those folks are looking for, And maybe somehow out of that, if enough of us can see them as human beings with human needs, there might grow something that will start to break down the barriers that both they and us have built.
