I wonder if US citizens are too far ensconced in team politics to get the real words said.

Breaking apart the above, 'MAGA' as a start. Not republican. Not right wing. MAGA. There is a difference, MAGA being a wide range of people mostly on the right. And when someone references MAGA as a specific group, they're not saying "the right" necessarily, but "people who identify as MAGA".

Both the democrats and republicans in the US have a myriad of groupings of individuals who are forced under one banner or the other.

For example there are christians which believe that their local democrats won't represent them, so they're forced to join the republican camp.

And beyond this, a democrat running in California will espouse entirely different beliefs than one running in Ohio. Or Texas.

So if there is some undesirable characteristic specific to MAGA but not necessarily the right or all republicans, this could apply here. And therefore, "One of them" doesn't necessarily mean 'left' or 'right', because somethings are about individual actions of specific people, not about pointing at an entire team.

Outside of eliminating campaign funding, having more than two political parties in the US would be key, I think, to fixing some of this.
