    Childish and petty? Or “winning”?

    I feel like a corner piece of the puzzle of MAGA is feeling like some how sending a brown Maryland father to El Salvador makes them feel better about their shitty lives. It’s a superiority thing.

    And some how Trump and Fox News have convinced them that they share in the victories of guys like Mush and Trump enriching themselves.

    My mom said something completely asinine (and factually false) once.

    “I’m way too successful to be a Democrat.”

      If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.
