Seriously. Next time, ask one of them that repeats "maga!" without any sense of irony what that even means. I've done this for at least one of my in-laws in Taco's first term.

I tried to ask what "great" is supposed to mean. What is Taco going to do for his policy? I also asked when it was last "great" and when did it stop being "great"? I didn't try to "debate" him, I was just asking more clarifying questions about his statements.

Seriously, they find this truly baffling, by the way. They expect either: people will get mad and react to them (thus, "liberal: owned"), or to give a thumbs-up and yes-and them with all the latest hate radio/Faux talking points, or what most people do, which is to try to change the topic or wander to another room, etc. Asking more questions about their claims is just not something that happens in most cases, I think.

About the only specifics on any kind of policy seemed to involve punching down on others. Getting women in line, showing people with degrees that Taco is actually smarter than all of them, othering any non-xtians, most especially Muslims and atheists, "closing the border" (wtf?), an obsession with trans and gays and what they are seemingly "getting away with", Blacks being put in their place because too many quotas, and so on.

When I asked how their life would be any better....it was even less coherent. I couldn't really get anything out of them. It was all about these stupid petty phantom grievances about what other people - mostly in big cities they don't even live near - were up to, and about reining them in.
