| > You say "openly MAGA" as if it were a crime or something to be ashamed of Can you explain why it's not something to be ashamed of? |

| I'm not american but I see technically nothing wrong with MAGA for me. it doesn't mean you must be transphobe or homophobe etc. but what people do under MAGA is another thing. sometimes it feels like for them it means "run america into the ground" or "get rid of all the best about america". GRABA if you like |

| ▲ | cthalupa 6 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Being maga is diametrically opposed to supporting your country, as we've seen in particular this time around, but was also clearly visible in 2016-2020. Rampant abuse of the legal system to target individuals, despite claiming (without evidence) that that was that the Democrats did against them Total disregard for the constitution Threats towards the judiciary A million other things that I can list - but I'm sure you've heard them all and just don't care, so there's probably not much use in me continuing. | |
| ▲ | raw_anon_1111 5 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | The entire point of MAGA is that they see “their country” as one where uppity negroes like Obama should have known his place, it’s DEI whenever a minority has a position of influence and power yet they keep lowering the standards for both ICE and the DOJ and RFK JR with no medical knowledge is the head of HHS. America won’t be “great” until minorities, non Christians and non straight people know their role. | |

| ▲ | _wire_ 6 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | To believe in "Make America Great Again" you have to believe that America is not great, and this implies you are ashamed of your country. Shame is built in to MAGA. | |

| ▲ | Dibes 5 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Those points are fine, but not the root of what makes MAGA shameful. You can go about having that opinion and take actions towards it without being racist, anti-LGBT, generally hateful, and backing an administration that has been proven time and time again to be deceitful in every facet and tuned to the interest of the wealthiest. | |
| ▲ | frogperson 5 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | You have a very narrow and rose colored view of what maga is. To us living in the US, maga stands for pedophilia, misogyny, racism, fascism, homophobia, transphobia, corroption and much more. It absolutely has nothing to do with putting america first, it has everything to do with putting trump first. Im afraid you have made the mistake of listening to a politicians words instead of watching his actions. Every word from his mouth is a lie. | | |
| ▲ | boca_honey 5 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | I know he's a liar. He is probably mentally ill and definitely not very bright. But I was not talking about Donald Trump. I was talking about the principle of wanting to make one's country "great." > To us living in the US maga stands for... This is not true. The GOP won the popular vote, centrists see some advantages in MAGA, and even some Democrats are against MAGA without going to the extreme of painting them all as pedophiles and corrupt. You are in the minority with that opinion. | |

| ▲ | estimator7292 5 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | "Make America Great Again" is propaganda and you're analyzing it as if it were a truthful mission statement. Or more aptly, you're commenting on the title instead of reading TFA. MAGA does not mean what you think it means for the people who actually live here. |
