    That’s simply not true, Trump’s approval ratings are plunging, in the mid to low 30s, and steadily dropping. MAGAs are cowardly sheep, and they will go wherever the wind blows them. They were strong when they thought things were going their way, but now it is clear that MAGA is falling apart badly, and is almost certainly going to collapse at some point, and many are finding reasons to slip out the side door. They are realizing that the longer they stick around, the harder it will be to deny their treason when this is over, and since it has become undeniable that MAGA is virtuosically incompetent, they will certainly be on the wrong side at the end.

    After the Midterm bloodbath, MAGA will be Germany after the successful D-Day Invasion. They’ll still be fighting, but theyll know that their eventual loss is inevitable. Then the MAGA exodus will begin in earnest, and they’ll be looking for any reason. Threatening to make them social pariahs for the rest of their lives, will be enough motivation for many to leave MAGA.

    Jokes on them, though. I own a business, and for the rest of my life, one of the things I’ll ask about is a person’s history with MAGA, and I will verify it before hiring. If you were MAGA, or if you are a registered Republican, you will NEVER work for me. And if I hire you, and later find out you lied, you will be immediately fired. I will not work with people who are proven to be treasonous, corrupt, racist, misogynist, ignorant, incompetent, and pedophiles, or have been willing to excuse those things, and support those who are guilty of those things. I don’t want that kind of person poisoning my business or the good people who work for me.

      I don’t know dude, I support your ability to not employ magats and I’d hope to do the same, maybe just less overtly. I feel like I can typically tell the type within seconds. In any case I don’t think we disagree on anything here but the prescriptivist aspect. I get what bill nye is doing and I don’t disapprove. And same with you and your business. Trumpism is a deep cultural problem and I’m not sure there really is a solution, personally. It’s the result of unregulated capitalism. People worship that shit even though it hurts them personally. I’m not sure shaming them could ever reverse those who are so brainwashed.

        I don’t believe that it will shame them so much as make them fully aware of how socially unacceptable those beliefs are. They are hypocrites, they’ll just hide their MAGA beliefs, and that’s about the best we can hope for. At least they aren’t able to influence society to any great degree.

        It would be comparable to the KKK. They might meet in full dress in Gene’s basement (on accounta he’s got a high ceiling for a basement, and the hats fit, and everybody knows wearing the hat is the fun part), but they aren’t getting elected to the school board and demanding that kids read the Bible in school.

        Making them crawl back under their slimy rock is good enough for now, as long as we stay vigilant, and taze them whenever they try to slither back out.

        Oh, and BTW, I won’t work with a MAGA, but I’ll accept work from MAGAs all day long, and they will get my very best work, I promise that. I will accept money from anyone, without question, but I won’t give money to just anyone.

        I will also talk stank behind that client’s back. Fuck them, the filthy MAGAs.
