    I know a surprisingly large amount of MAGA/Trump adjacent fans because of my type of work.

    • They’re all single dudes. Maybe divorced. Maybe never went on a date.
    • There’s Joe Rogan involved.
    • After a few beers, they all will unprompted share their views on Jews, blacks, trans, lesbians, or some other racist shit then back off and pretend it’s just a joke.
    • Tell them anything involving empathy “Sorry your dog died” is met with silence or coldness.
    • They all don’t give a shit about anybody else besides themselves. And often see themselves as the victim. “Oh Trans person was brutally beaten? Yeah it’s a violent world like one time some guy threatened me gotta stay strapped.”
    • They may not like Trump’s antics. But to them, the Democrats aren’t helping THEM. Remember that lack of empathy?

      Unless they make 6 figures that point is true though. Not that Trump is going to help them either. But at least he pretends to care about them, whereas the Democrats outright said that their life reality of rising prices and stagnating wages is fake because the stock market is making new record bubble numbers.
