And it's everywhere - Fox, AM radio, Sinclair, Christian megachurches, CPAC, the Federalist Society... when you're fed lies and bullshit 24 hours a day, it really screws with your head.

before he caught on I was a Democrat.

Strung him along when he suddenly stopped and asked if I was a Dem, because I had explained all the vote count audits that were done, I said oh no, I've always been an independent....then I finished the pizza and beer and left.

He used the word bullshit A LOT.

So I would say heavy alcohol usage plus heavy usage of the word bullshit,
and you might have a magat buying you pizza and beer.

I should have been one of these morons since I'm not college educated and I dropped out in school. But I think simply put. IQ plays a huge factor into it.

My great grandfather, grandfather, father and I am/were alcoholics. I quit drinking decades ago, but I am still an alcoholic, and believe that I am a single drink from falling back into the bottle. It scares me sober.

The failure of MAGAS is that they want someone else to take responsibility for their personal failures. They need a big daddy figure to keep evil away from them and grant them special privileges, because they are the chosen ones and they deserve it. They know that other races or religions are the cause of their lack of success; they want to be granted the right to hate them. It is a weakness of character.

Republicans promise them the world, but will only deliver oppression and poverty, and scapegoats for both.

We get the government that we deserve. We will know what that will look like in 24 hours.

alcoholic Magats.

So much so that I never go to any bars within 50 miles of my home, because the vibes are so dark, and the clientele are sincerely ignorant, and conscientiously stupid.
