This is a good analysis about MAGA from a lady making a TikTok video in her car.

I think she has it right. And it made me want to cry.

1. Deafie here: could tell me what she said, please? Thanks! nt

2. Ok.

She says her husband, who doesn’t follow the news too closely, watches the J6 hearing and asks “Why do these insurrectionist have loyalty to Trump. What did he ever do for them?”

She says: “It is about White Supremacy. Many white people have little capital and nothing much in life, but they have their whiteness. Trump makes them feel superior to “others” and that is all they need.”

She said more, but that sums it up.

3. I suggested the same point right after it occured but a lot of DUers pointed out that a huge chunk

of them were not poor. They had boats, big cars, many were lawyers and other types of professionals. I think she is right about a good chunk of them but about half of them are just privileged, prejudiced scum.

4. Yeah, for some it is about privilege and tax cuts.

But this wasn’t about the 1%. They have different issues. Though, they also hate the same people!

6. +1. There are Trump trash who are rich and went to Ivy League schools

I'd say most cultists who traveled to D.C. for Jan. 6 were not poor

5. Spot on.

7. These analyses are examples of Critical Race Theory.

10. Yep, easy to see if you

lived in the wake of the Jim Crow South. Plain as the nose on your face because you've witnessed and heard about it all your life.

8. Wonderful analysis.

9. Excellent analysis.

He definitely punched their white supremacist ticket. He freed them to act out all their grievances, while raking in the money they so eagerly send him.
There's a statement that has been attributed to P. T. Barnum, although it probably predates him, "There's a sucker born every minute".
Trump plays these people and they are thankful for it, because it gives them a little bit of power, or at least the illusion of it.
