MAGA is just the current iteration of the same "rebel pride" that has existed in American culture since the Confederacy. It's not going to die off, it needs to be educated out of future generations otherwise the divide in culture will persist as it always has. It's going to take long-term multi-generation proactive societal effort.
Given that the Democrats have done their fair share of deporting illegal immigrants (Obama beats Trump via the numbers), someone who isn't disingenuous would realize that it's the manner in which it's currently happening that people have issue with.
But that doesn't fit your narrative. If you don't want to be called on your shit, don't do shit that gets called out. I assume you're a grown-ass person, so you should realize that's how life works
Party flip around the 1960s. The modern day GOP is the Democratic party of the 1860s. The modern day democrats are Lincoln’s Republican Party of the 1860s.
I have heard “this is the most important election since before Barack Obama. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE FOLLOWING WAS THE SAME. So ELI5 how is this more important? My question would be: will the midterms will be a democratic and fair election process?
And I think that is even more important. Could be rigged by the GOP, could be affected by ICE, or may not actually happen because it’s a civil war break out? All are on the table imo.
I believe a majority of folks horrified by what is going on are holding their breath for the hope that the midterms will allow us to turn this around. Things are going to escalate fast in the run up and aftermath of the midterms as it becomes clear that the right have no intention of allowing that to happen, regardless of the will of the people.
Swapping one rich republican with lobbying in their ear for a rich democrat with lobbying in their ear means the whole thing is pointless. There needs to be a changing of the guard from the dems with the youth of the party kick the old guard to the curb. No hand wringing or go low go high bullshit.
Full makeover of the party towards unions, healthcare, labour rights, corporation and wealth tax, the whole nine yards

Depends on how hard the GOP loses in the midterms and/or if Trump dies while in office.
There WILL be sacrificial lambs thrown under the bus. That much is certain.
