I know liberals are supposed to "protect weirdness," so calling something weird is supposed to be verboten, but it's about time somebody from our side just got on camera and acknowledged that this MAGA shit is weird and these people, the real hardcores, are fucking weird. Who wants to have a beer with a weirdo red hat? Seriously!
