Thanks to the commenter who reminded me that it's not bad to be reminded that the term is only a pejorative because conservative racists made it so.

I absolutely agree. And, the shit part of it all? It's been going on for pretty much all of recorded history (class warfare, that is).

Edit: To clarify my position a little, I see choosing MAGA as willfully submitting to the parasitic "elites".

tbh I kind of see both of the US parties as submitting to parasitic elites. I think MAGA is much worse for other reasons though.

Well, I agree. However, I do not think opposing MAGA in any way implies supporting Democrats.
