Not sure what that refers to but it's not Brandon or Cornpop which are two ones that I have heard him called. Whatever I'm just hoping that he'll be called "former president" just as soon as possible.

Ohh yeah nice one but the difference is Trumps was an accidental gesture. Bidens is deliberate.

Look at the backdrop, it is not changed or enhanced, he chose the guards and the blood red lighting.

Doesn't work. MAGA is a political position not a racial group.

Meanwhile, the debt rolls on, inflation rolls on, war rolls on, taxes hikes roll on and the list goes on.

I seriously doubt Trump/MAGA has anywhere close to those numbers now. Trump will likely not get the Republican nomination and have to form a MAGA party to run in 2024. Those votes will show the true numbers.

If this should happen-Wouldn't it mean the end of the Republican party ?

Don't see the difference but in any case the same people are saying that MAGA people are all white supremacists so I guess it really is about racial groups ain't it?

Politics does tend to use wide paintbrushes with only two colors. Time for beer.

Oh wait, I'm Californian, time for some wine.

Have read a lot of status from Biden and he mention MAGA and MAGA together with the word Republican.

This was only a few of many.

Edit
I know now what MAGA stand for.

The truth is that the GOP has a demographics problem, namely you can't vote from Heaven.

Maybe chill out with the flamethrowers and the chain saws then come back to the middle. This "double down when you're losing" idea is only making the other side smile.

Instead of punishing strangers you've never met, maybe try living your own life for a change?

If you think its bad now, wait until there is only one political party and you'll really be p****d off.

MAGA is and always been simply a political slogan, make America great again is no different than, we like Ike, Yes we can, no new taxes, or build back better they are catch phrases slogans just like every other one found is in U.S. political history to be believed or laughed at nothing more But today our president redefined it as an ideology of extremists. Both the presidents the one who said the election was stolen and the one who accuses American voters of extremism and threats to democracy are way out of line.

Do they let real people visit you in this fantasy land that you inhabit? Flamethrowers and chain saws, really.

Nope, never have done that either. Self abuse sounds more like something that a European would take too.
