Why are "MAGA Republicans" in a separate category from "Republicans"? They're all MAGA Reublicans; even some of the Democrats are MAGA Republicans.

    They are definitely two distinct groups. Don't let the media fool you, there is party division to exploit

    I'm uninterested in manipulating the uniquely regressive knobs that activate "Republicans" separately from "MAGAts".

    Unless it's to turn on their class consciousness against all billionaires.

    They're absolutely still two different groups. Doesn't matter if you're interested in differentiating them lol

    And just to be clear, they're both shitty. But maga republicans are a powerful minority of the party so you're basically saying that all rectangles are squares

    You could've stayed on with the belief that you'd mitigate the MAGAts at the very start but you have to concede that they're only dragging you deeper now, not the other way around.

    It's the same with progressives and Democrats. I used to believe progressives should stay and help pull moderates and liberals left in the Democrat party. But it's inescapably clear now that mainstay Democrats are completely unwilling to be dragged left, so the left needs to separate. If you stay in the party, you stay complicit with what it does. This isn't a home you built or a nationality you were born into. It's a job you went for and a side you chose; choose a different one now that the current one is soiled.
