Before I started thinking about politics when I was young and politically unaware, I felt the same way TBH. “Just pick a direction and go in it!” was something I said pretty often. When I escaped my teens I started thinking much differently.Nearly half of Republicans polled want a quasi-elected dictator or monarch, according to a recent poll. They feel a president should be able to operate with little interference from the courts or Congress, or in other words, the very checks and balances that keep us from being a dictatorship. 47% of Republicans who agreed with the minimal checks and balances statement are also supporting Trump for president. They would feel very differently, of course, were it Obama or Biden.
This is who MAGA is.
