Thank you for this. I have some friends who are MAGA and I don’t bring up politics with them.

To answer your question - I’ll never see a Mel Gibson film again, but I felt that way years before MAGA took over our country.

I have dropped friends who are MAGA folks but only because they were relentless about it and did their best to “own” me.

It’s up to each individual person, I guess.

Thanks for the comment, RBS. I totally agree that how we deal with this is up to each individual person. What works for me might not work for someone else. I have my opinions but I’m not into telling other folks how to live their lives.

If I have any MAGA 'friends' I don't know it. I do know that my very close friends, and I have very few of those, are not MAGA 'cause I need someone to vent with once in a while. I really don't know how they can follow this man, or this MAGA=Q Cult. It is the opposite of everything I believe in all these many years on this earth. I can't respect anyone who doesn't respect nature, or animals, and of course, people. I can't respect bullies, and I believe that is who most of them are, as well as lawless that puts us all in danger when they are around. When I'm at my favorite pub I listen to what the boys are talking about when they come in from their golf games. I have to admit I'm listening to hear if they are talking politics. Actually, they never seem to and that pleases me. I did see one who wore the forbidden Red Cap and I found I couldn't even look in his direction. It's repulsive to me, actually. They seem to be digging deeper holes for themselves, perhaps on their way to Hell, I believe.

I know what you mean about those repulsive red caps, Kate. I try to make sure I’m not looking at a Phillies, Reds, Cardinals, or Angels fan before I get too disgusted, though. Once I get confirmation that it’s a real MAGA hat, then I let my disgust run wild.
