> You say "openly MAGA" as if it were a crime or something to be ashamed of.

maga is absolutely something to be ashamed of

Well he was against gay marriage and against the Boy Scouts of America allowing gay kids.

If I have 10 friends and ask them all where they want to eat for dinner and 6 said let’s go to this nice Italian spot and the other 4 said “let’s kill Ralph and eat him”, that still means I have a shitty friend group.

It's more like 3 say "let's get Italian", 3 say "let's get Mexican", 3 say "I'm not hungry", and 1 says "let's kill Ralph, and eat him seasoned with Italian spices". Then the first 3 say "great idea!".

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

You mean things done under MAGA led by a president who said on national TV that Haitians are eating pets and led the “birther” conspiracy ?

Yep exactly what I mean

It is absolutely something to be ashamed of, and a moral crime.

MAGA isn't a political platform, it's a cult of personality.

Witness the abrupt reversal in public opinion on foreign wars in the last month.

Anyone not ashamed to be MAGA is a psychopath. It absolutely is a shameful, hateful stance to embrace.

He was vocally against gay marriage

He was a vocal proponent of the birther conspiracy theory about Obama
