MAGA

 Donald Trump has shown the world that he is a narcissist, a liar, a convicted sex abuser, an indicted criminal, an ego that transcends the Constitution, a twice-impeached President and an amoral man. He did not do in his last term what he promised to do. He expressed admiration for Putin. He masterfully manipulates his followers with his witch hunt ploy.

With all of this he still has many staunch followers who want to see him in a second term as President. Who this man is and what he does comes from his character. So, I ask myself how this can be.
The answer for me. The MAGA Republican movement has not made America great again. Just the opposite. But it is a movement based on fear: fear of change, fear of loss of privilege, fear of the other, fear of the immigrant. It is fear of so many of the things that have actually made America great.
The danger of Trump and MAGA is real.
