Are they even conservative? Otherwise, nothing about Trump supporters makes any sense. I suppose I could make a list of everything Trump either thinks he controls or trying to control. But if you need a list, you're too ignorant to comment.

Quote:
Limited Government: A fundamental principle of American conservatism is limited government intervention in economic and social matters.

Individual Liberty:
Conservatives emphasize individual liberty and the idea that individuals are best qualified to make decisions for themselves, rather than bureaucrats or the government.

States' Rights: They often advocate for balancing power between the federal government and state governments, with power kept at the state level for many issues.

This is an easy one. When ‘they’ control House/Senate/Presidency, they are in favor of Federal interventions. Not so much when it’s the Democrats in charge. That was easy!

MAGA are not conservative they are populist. Populists support a strong government when they are in power, this is why the military is occupying cities and taking over local law enforcement functions.

It is also why there are plans for mass arrests of people burning flags (pending flag burning executive order, originally scheduled for Thursday, now postponed.) [Despite SCOTUS ruling in 1989 that defiling/burning the flag is a 1st Amendment protected activity.]

MAGA does not believe in limited government or individual liberty, they believe in militant-based Christian Nationalism.

Idk, correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe they just want America Great Again and not wimpy with men in women’s sports amongst other issues.

You're wrong, that is not all they want: fact is, that is just a dog whistle to gain attention.

The true aims of MAGA are ... well, who the hell can say, those bozos just like to wield wrecking balls.

Sometimes I think all they want to do is destroy the work of others and aggrandize their cowardly leader.

MAGA needs to find a big cliff somewhere and direct all the ICE prisoners to pick up hammers and chisels to carve an appropriate monument to Trump: instead of his mug the image should be of his fat, bloated ass: call it "Mt. Tushmore."

Yesterday, Trump had a 3 hour and 17 minute circle jerk. "you're the greatest handjob I ever gave to anyone" said everyone there to Trump.

It was simp-tastic.

This travesty is what happens when a bunch of unqualified outsiders get into power.

So sad.
