I was curious what shows MAGA love and found out they love the show Duck Dynasty





Ducks don’t like Duck Dynasty—or they wouldn’t if they watched TV. If ducks formed a political action committee, their lobbyist would waddle over to the nearest congressman, pound his wings on the desk and quack about how wrong it is for A&E to feature a family whose wealth was built on the death and suffering of so many flighted friends. “It’s disthpicable!” he’d say.

But judging from the show’s ratings, he wouldn’t get very far.

Duck Dynasty—focusing on a colorful Louisiana family that eats together, hunts together and makes duck calls together—has been a runaway reality hit in its first two seasons, breaking all sorts of time slot records and even, some weeks, becoming the most watched show anywhere on TV, cable or network.

Who would’ve thought that a bunch of ZZ Top-bearded, self-described rednecks could helm a hit TV series?

Combine White Christian Nationalism and antienvironment and you have a winner in conservative America.

My cousins on my Mother's side are all conservative, grew up rural. I have no idea how they get their news.

They are all college degree holding millionaires. A few years before duck Dynasty, they had a photo shoot in Gentleman's Quarterly at their tennis club. All short hair, clean shaven wearing preppy type clothes.
