Here's a back-and-forth I had with a MAGA the other day.
Him: "This country is so f*cked."
Me: Oh?
Him: "It could have been worse, though."
Me: How so?
Him: "Just think how bad things would be if we had elected her."
Me: "Her," as in Kamala Harris?
Him: "Yep"
Me: ...and what was it about her you didn't like?
Him: "I don't know. I just didn't. Maybe her laugh."
Me: You voted against a presidential candidate because of their laugh?
Him: "Yeah, and there was just something about her..."
Me: What, that she's a woman?
Him: "Yeah, that's part of it too."
Me: Seriously? What year are you living in?
Him: "Same as you. Look, if it were up to me, there would be no government jobs."
Me: How often do you vote?
Him: "I always vote, and always vote Republican."
Me: So, you contend you're anti-government jobs, yet continue to vote in people for government jobs?
Him: "It's not like that."
Me: What's it like then?
Him: "You just don't get it."
Me: Enlighten me.
Him: "Look, the thing I like about Trump is he's a sh*t-stirrer, like me."
Me: So, let me get this straight. You don't believe in government jobs, yet voted for someone to lead the government, because they're a 'sh*t-stirrer,' over another, because you didn't like their laugh? Is that right?
Him: "No matter how bad things may seem, they can't ever get too bad for me."
Me: What does that mean? Didn't you just say that this country was "f*cked"?
Him: "Yeah, but things could always be worse. That's how I look at it."
Me: So, no matter how bad things are in actuality, it doesn't phase you, because things could always be worse?
Him: "Yeah, never has there been a time when I was truly scared for this country."
Me: Even though it's "f*cked"?
Him: "You're putting words in my mouth."
Me: No, that's exactly what you said - verbatim. What about January 6th?
Him: "What about it?"
Me: Were you not at all scared our country would ultimately be gone that day?
Him: "No. They were just peaceful protests. There wasn't any violence."
Me: You have got to be kidding me.
Him: "What, what violence?"
Me: Cops were attacked, some died from what happened that day.
Him: "There weren't any weapons."
Me: :: fact-checks him :: Yes, there were.
Him: "It was just people practicing their First Amendment rights."
Me: What do you think Mike Pence would say about that?
Him: "What about him?"
Me: He was being threatened of being hanged.
Him: "They weren't being serious."
Me: Jebus...
Him: "What?"
Me: How many millions of dollars damage was done to the Capitol that day? How many injuries and deaths resulted from said events? Like it or not, Donald Trump, yes, your Donald Trump, incited a domestic-terrorist attack on our nation's Captiol, in an attempt to overturn a democratically-held U.S. presidential election; undermine our Constitution; and essentially end the American experiment.
Him: "That's not true. It was just a peaceful protest."
Me: You keep using the word 'peaceful.' I do think it means what you think it means.
Him: "We'll have to agree to disagree."
Me: I agree with reality; you disagree with it.
Him: "That's your opinion."
Me: Jebus, with the MAGA cult the way it is, this country is f*cked.
Him: "I'm not MAGA."
Me: Sure, Jan.
