"Ultra MAGA" started out as a Democrat slur. Hah. Sign me the fuck up.

Ultra MAGA is ONLINE

They paid a think tank money to come up with it. It took months and probably multiple focus groups said it was a good burn.

Then 10 seconds after Biden read it off a script MAGA went "that sounds cool, this meme now belongs to us"

Yeah I looked it up:

Biden’s attempt to appropriate the “MAGA” brand as a political attack was hardly accidental. It arose from a six-month research project to find the best way to target Republicans, helmed by Biden adviser Anita Dunn and by the Center for American Progress Action Fund, a liberal group.

The polling and focus group research by Hart Research and the Global Strategy Group found that “MAGA” was already viewed negatively by voters — more negatively than other phrases like “Trump Republicans.”

In fairness, it worked for Nationalist.

I mean, even in video games since the 90's, the primary villains were "Russian Ultra-Nationalists" in both Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon, and Call of Duty Modern Warfare.

Thing is, they misunderstood MAGA from their own Leftist biases, not realizing that "Ultra Make America Great Again" doesn't sound bad to anyone on the political right.

They were hoping that, even though Nationalist has a "bad taste" on the Left, calling people "Ultra-Nationalist" was used to confer only the negatives of Nationalism: meaning people who were genocidal isolationists. They wanted to take that same concept, and apply it to MAGA... but it's backfired terribly because people didn't see MAGA as extreme, and found it compelling after years of Leftist hysteria and moral panic.

Yes, I did just notice that the Russian Ultra-Nationalists in COD were Soviets... which is the most bizarre thing I've ever seen.

I like how people say "hey bruh, electric car starts saving you on gas from 200,000 miles on!". Ignoring the fact that they had to pay in advance for 200,000 miles of gas. Like anyone can just poney up 200,000 miles worth of gas in one go.

There's a million and one things EV-tards ignore. In this case it's also the fact that the battery won't last 200k miles (and the rest of the car won't either but that's not an EV-specific issue), and a new one, if it's even still available in 8-10 years when you need it, will cost several times more than the remaining value of the rest of the car, and buying it will push the day where you'll finally start getting a return on investment to about 300k+ miles. Oh and go ahead and buy a cheaper refurbished battery instead of a new one, I dare you.

Who could possibly mind driving around on a fire hazard so difficult to extinguish that it makes the Pinto look like a sunburn? I'm now hoping that Ford brings back the Pinto nameplate for an EV and then it lives up to that name again.

And the tires cost twice as much and need to be changed more often especially on Teslas because they get driven like supercars. Lugging around a literal ton of batteries is not really a practical solution.

That “a house divided cannot stand” shit was so retarded.

He left off the part that it won’t stand only because he’s about to invade your half.

The moral imperialists love to say that they simply had no choice. You didn't immediately pony up the exact kneeling in servitude they demanded, so now they have to respond in kind to your aggression.

That war proved they could get away with it and be painted perfect angelic heroes for doing so.

More and more people know every day. Pretty much every non-cuckservative I'm aware of is at least halfway there on the issue.

I think it's important because I think it'll really open the floodgates if that narrative falls. It puts so much that's wrong with the US on blast that if everyone's aware we might actually be on the way to constricting the federal government.

In fairness, the South already invaded Kansas years prior, and was already going to secede because the Republicans were going to rescind the Fugitive Slave Law, which was a major violation of the free state's state's rights.

The house was never going to stand. Either Lincoln was going to invade to preserve the Union, or the South was going to shoot it's way out and expand the institution of Slavery west.

The fact that even after the Confederacy fell, confederates still managed to invade foreign countries and overthrow governments shows that no one was committed to peace or the law.

He's giving the Republicans too much credit. They are just as guilty as the Democrats of rigging the election against Trump.

The only disagreement I have here is the idea that republicans aren't also for war. Most of them are pro-establishment. Many would try and call them RINOs, but the reality is that there are more "RINOs" than the supposed "real Republicans". It's time to admit that it's beyond salvaging and RINOs are far more representative of the average Republican than anyone like Rand Paul is, let alone the 90s Democrat that ran on 90s Democrat policies (it's almost like Republicans have compromised for decades).

Oh yeah, the MAGA side is sure big on division and fucking up things. /s.

One side definitely is veering off a cliff at high speed, and it ain't people who voted for Trump.

Sadly, there are some more or less succesful attemps to divide MAGA. There's the lunatic Q Anon instigated by FBI, there's the original identity politics religious, and finally the globalist RINO's.

Exactly, people are dividing the MAGA crowd, the MAGA crowd itself isn't divisive. Saying "Both sides do it!" is dumb as fuck. One side right now is obviously doing it 500 metric tons more than the other.

I get it, mean tweets made you mad. But let's face it, they were both funny and effective at making cucks mad. So even the mean tweets were like a cherry on top.

Enjoy your inflation and coming war in East Europe. At least you don't got to read some mean tweets anymore I guess.

Equating the 2 is daft as fuck.

If you're talking about the GOP, yes. If you're talking about the MAGA movement and Trump, I think the jury is still out on that. It requires conspiratorial thinking that isn't necessarily supported yet. He was clearly very pro-Israel, pro-banking, and pro-pharma, but it may be that you have to be those things to even have a chance of winning. It's also likely there are no political solutions.
