It was a lot easier to assume my friends, relatives, and neighbors were decent people until TSF showed up ...

And the most sanctimonious are some of the worst offenders.

[Dave Bowman]

1. I only have to deal with one maga, a neighbor.

Sorry that you are not this lucky.

[Irish_Dem]

2. We now see the true character and morality of everyone now.

Like a walking covid test.

[Arne]

3. Right next door is a home school family that's MAGA.

The two little boys are monsters that may kill each other.
Parents don't see it, but they are nice enough.

My older brother has a home schooled family.
A wonderful but brain washed religious bunch.

Is there a connection between the home schooling
and the MAGA indoctrination?

[Espoir]

4. The MAGA-est wing of my family ...

... is evangelical Christian, home schoolers, anti-vax, anti-medicine. Also into crypto, and not working for most of his life (BIL).

Can't check any more boxes than that. Nice people? Yes. But what's in those heads??

[Arne]

5. I blame Hannity. My brother's hero.

[Espoir]

6. Forgot to add ...

... the news diet of choice is Newsmax.

[progressoid]

10. Yep.

He and AM radio have done a lot of damage.

[mopinko]

7. they're a tiny part of the population and

they arent all rw. lotsa lefties out there w neurodivergent kids.
so, statistically not significant.

[Arne]

8. We went to the public high school after catholic grammar school.

All the kids were neurodivergent.

[Mariana]

9. It's not a direct connection, I don't think.

Christian fundies overwhelmingly support Trump - and a large proportion of homeschoolers are Christian fundies.

[Arne]

13. That is absolutely true.

The more radical ones are taught to fight fight fight.

Some went to the town picnic to poison the residence
during an election.
The plan was to swoop in and vote to take over while everyone got sick'
Instead they were discovered with Salmonella spray bottles and arrested.

Odd that story just occurred to me.

[JCMach1]

11. I have known the truth for a long time...my inlaws

At the time had a neighbor in Tulsa that would blast Limbaugh over the stereo on 10 every weekend. You literally couldn't go into the backyard.

12. One thing about Fuckface is that he really showed how many truly awful people walk among us.

Especially now in 2024, people not just voted for Fuckface knowing everything he stands for and the absolute fucking hell he's going to unleash on the United States, they did so with malicious intent. It was pure spite, malice and hatred that got Fuckface reelected. And this country will descend into a nightmare dark age that will probably be unrepairable. I will never look at Fuckface voters in the same way ever again knowing they deliberately voted for the shit storm that's coming. Fuck.
