MAGA isn't drawn to Trump because he's smart or competent. They're drawn to him because he tells uneducated, insecure, angry people that their stupidity and ignorance is actually strength. He gives them a script where nothing is ever their fault. Blame anyone except the person in the mirror.

Trump hijacked working-class rage. Decades of union-busting, wage theft & corporate greed = real suffering. But instead of punching up at billionaires, MAGA punches down at immigrants, women, minorities. Classic fascist playbook: give them a scapegoat so they never confront who actually holds power.

It feels like Americans have been living in an echo chamber of American exceptionalism for so long. It’s perpetuated by your government, media, education system, each other…I don’t think anything can really change until you can really see how others see you.
