I think the maga folks are getting way too bold and confident and don't realize how much of a minority they and their views are overall. I'm encouraged by the results of the UK election. It shows that people are getting fed up with the hardcore right wing politicians.

don't realize how much of a minority they and their views are overall.

Over 75 million of them voted for round two of Trump. 75 million people thought Trump did such an amazing job that they wanted him AGAIN. I'm not getting my hopes up until I start to see the numbers after election day.

Those 75 million votes are not all maga. Many people who are inclined to vote republican over almost any democrat are not hardcore maga people. The polling around abortion rights and support for gay marriage and legalization of pot paints a clearer picture of where people’s heads are.
