In some respects, these modern MAGA muttonheads are a direct result of some liberal orthodoxies. We made “do your own thing” a prime directive for 2.5 generations. So their grandparents did. And their parents did. And now they do. And here we are.
I've thought that the (now old) line "make the personal political" eventually leads to MAGA. MAGA is a bunch of people who took their personal problems and prefudices and made them overwhelmingly political.
@shoq There's so many examples on how the coin has been flipped in awful ways:
Question the establishment is now question and mock expertise.
Free speech is now freedom of hate speech and misinformation.
Freedom of protest is now violent demonstrations and insurrection.
Etc, etc, etc.
