Serious Question for MAGA

[Mac1958]

Americans’ Deepening Mistrust of Institutions

I want to keep this question as straightforward and benign as I can.

I think we can all agree that MAGA, in general, has a lower level of trust in America's institutions, such as the press, the courts, the government, regulatory bodies and statistical reporting. Let me know if you disagree.

Based on that, we're seeing a general divergence in America's ability to look at a number or a result or a "fact" and agree on what it is. I'm actually not sure if MAGA considers that to be a good thing or a bad thing, so please comment on that.

So, my question(s): What is your long-term opinion of how our society and civilization look like as this continues? What do you suppose happens as the gulf between basic perceptions widens? Is that where you see a literal split in the country, away from 50 states, and is that your goal?

 

[Chuz Life]

If only there were some "facts" that leftists refuse to accept that we could use to pose the same question another way.

The US institutions are all being judged in a partisan fashion. Everything is either Republican/Democrat, conservative/liberal, woke/traditional, or some other means of comparison.
Look at polls, we need to see various polls but only agree with the ones we trust.
Look at newspapers, or news outlets, bias is in every newscast.
The courts are also biased, Trump's lawfare convictions will be overturned by higher courts.

My long term opinion is that this bifurcation will continue forever.

 

[Mac1958]

My long term opinion is that this bifurcation will continue forever.

Does it ultimately divide the country to a point at which it literally becomes two or more separate countries?

And how would you feel about that?

So, A RACE TO THE BOTTOM? The once Great America, DESTROYED?

Serious question...
1) What is a MAGA? Specifically. And how would you know one?
The history of your "benign" post is clear - to you, a MAGA is anyone that doesn't passionately hate Donald Trump.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Our Republic, the one we were born into, the one our fathers to great grandfathers fought to preserve for a century, is over.

We will have a majority one-party state.,

What that will look like is something I don't know.

 

[wamose]

If only there were some "facts" that leftists refuse to accept that we could use to pose the same question another way.

It's a "fact" that people have differences of opinion.

Definitely possible.

 

[gipper]

Definitely possible.

I’m not MAGA but have a question for you. Do you trust America's institutions, such as the press, the courts, the government, regulatory bodies and statistical reporting?

After a freaking CENTURY of Marxist infiltration of our edu, media, and governance, there is a HUGE push back away from that FAILED ideology of the 20th century.
We're labeled as MAGA.
Make America Great Again.

To the Marxist contaminated IDIOTS, we're seen as a THREAT. So much so that this thread exists.
These IDIOTS are constantly seething and furious about THE PAST. A constant outrage over the foundation of our country.

Colonialism, the patriarchy, the nuclear family, slavery, and on and on. These people were TAUGHT that America is BAD as founded, and they lapped that crap up like kittens.
Self-loathing and white-guilt ensues rampantly.
Then there's the NORMALIZATION of completely illogical and insane things like trans madness,gay bs, feminism, and all other sorts of madness that does NOTHING but degrade SOCIETY.

It is ALL done to do EXACTLY that: Destroy society.
Well, the Marxist Leninist zombies are NOT the majority, but they've got the media and academia that inflates their presence.

What these Neo-Marxist revolutionaries seem to ignore is that every retarded Marxist Leninist revolution that occurred in the 20th century REQUIRED MASS-MURDER to come to be.

My point? Us non-Marxist contaminated NORMAL People have HAD ENOUGH!!!!!

These IDIOTS are going to have to KILL US to get their way, but they don't have the BALLS to try that, and we are ARMED to make sure that they CAN'T.

The American People across ALL DEMOGRAPHICS have spoken, and we roundly REJECT the Marxist MINORITY, and will continue to do so until that ideology is universally mocked and delegated to the TRASH HEAP of history!

Hope that helps, Mac.

The issue, when it comes to public dialogue, is that partisans "cherry-pick" the facts - and for my purposes I will assume they are facts - focusing on the ones that support their Narrative.

Case in point: Homicides in the District of Columbia. The Right points out that the D.C. homicide rate would be the worst in the nation if D.C. were a State. That is a FACT. The Left points out that the homicide rate in D.C. is less than it was last year. That is also a FACT.

The problem is not the reporting of facts, or even the selective reporting of facts. The problem is that in our age of unfettered "advocacy" the public simply accepts the fact that partisans are full of shit. They are never held to account. It's OK because they are understood to be partisans.

Again, case in point: Senator (then Congressman) Adam Schiff lied his ass off about Russia collusion...claimed that as a member of Congress he was privy to facts unknown to the public that PROVED Trump's campaign conspired with operatives of the Russian Federation to cook the election. Now we know [many of us have known for years] that these claims were all LIES. Not differences of opinion, not slanted understandings, but LIES. And he pays no price. We are expected to simply move along and ignore what he did, because, you know, he was just a partisan politician doing what partisan politicians do.

I refuse. Lying in public is unacceptable, and people like that, regardless of what side of the Divide he occupies, should be shunned, and removed if possible.

....America's institutions, such as the press, the courts, the government, regulatory bodies and statistical reporting.

"Statistical reporting" is an institution? Good gravy. Why would anyone take you seriously?

MAGA means less taxes less government and control of our lives, more wealth in the private sector, less crime, a secure border, an end to DEI, no more gender absurdity, an end to socialism and a better life for everyone

I see it as more of divide between urban, suburban, and rural areas.

City states have no business ruling over the hinterlands. Two different types of lives.

There will come a time when those areas will have to be given their own autonomy. "Winner take all" in a state will simply not work in the long haul.

The supposed apolitical civil service has become political. The goal of creating the permanent non-aligned civil service was to create a system of cogs and gears that the duly elected executive could use to implement their congressionally mandated policies.

That system is now entrenched to one side of the political spectrum. That breaks the system.

An example of mistrust is those involved with government investments for employees with corporate entities. Some of the corporate entities are incompetent in getting money to their customers when cashing out CD's, 401's, IRA's. The people involved on the government side promoting the incompetent corporate interests are either incompetent or on the take themselves. Mistrust and frustration in 2025 should e minimal in this.

Does it ultimately divide the country to a point at which it literally becomes two or more separate countries?

And how would you feel about that?

Is that what you’d like to see? Two separate countries?

1. First thing to be considered, it must be pointed out that the distrust has been earned by bad behavior by liberal members of those institutions. When your side decided to make those instistutions part of the political partisan battle, they used them in ways that untrustworthy.

2. Long term? We need to purge or destroy the institutions that are now hostile to America. The msm is already being nicely replaced with alternative media. That is a good thing. But we can't stop there. The government and the schools must be hit too. Corporations that continue to play the DEI game must be fined to death. ect.

MAGA is changing America back to a conservative ideology after the total failure of democrat socialism
