          They are more traditional right, not MAGA right. They make fun of the Republican party all the time.

            I’m American, and me neither. It’s honestly still such a mystery to me that I do think about quite often.

            The best that I can come up with is that it’s a mixture of a culture of oppression through a cycle of psychological abuse that they’ve grown to be proud and belligerent to perpetuate, deeply profound ignorance, and a unique emphasis on faith and its taboo of critical thought; all amounting to a society with a stagnation of free will and progress.

            Of course, that is a amalgamation or conglomeration of a wide spectrum of archetypes of people, liberals and non Americans included. It’s a survival instinct and a cope in almost all cases.

            Finding people even conceptually aware of this earthly prison is rare, and finding a person with both an awareness and a plan to bring us above it AND the power to bring it to fruition AND the drive to do so… hasn’t happened yet.

        They were pretty funny when they got started. They would openly roast Joel Osteen and all the Prosperity Gospel crap. Then they decided to wade into politics. And misogyny. So much misogyny.
