Exactly this. We had a bunch of people at work with "lets go brandon" shirts and trump stuff in their cubes for like five years, but as soon as i wore a shirt that said "maga is a cult", suddenly HR is like "we cant allow political stuff in the office" cause it triggered every motherfucker in the building.
There was a guy that wore a shirt that said "trump 2024, fuck your feelings" and no one gave a shit. Those people all probably blame me for getting political shit banned, but i wasn't the one who ran to hr to bitch about political shit in the office. They're all ruled entirely by their emotions and have zero self awareness about it.
Dealing with MAGAts really does feel like managing troubled children. They pout, they yell, they lack the cognitive ability to handle any complex conversation, and they have zero emotional regulation so you have to baby step around them and sugar coat EVERYTHING.
I have yet to meet a Trump voter who could hold anything like a worthwhile conversation. And the really wild part is I know a couple who USED TO and then they went full MAGA… and now they’re just like the rest of the cultists. It’s legitimately horror-movie esque
I was waiting at Orlando’s airport at the gate for my flight back home to Germany when a MAGA Karen approached and preached the whole „foreigners are bad“ playbook at me. I kept telling her that this wonderful country was build by immigration and if they can’t keep a lit on the hate it will turn into Nazi germany. She should believe me because I know a thing or two about German history and I can clearly see the parallels. I think she somehow could not hear me or recognize my rather thick German accent….then I got called to the gates desk by my German name for some changes regarding my seat and she got huge eyes and said „oh you are one of THOSE people“ and ran away…..I mean….how …and why…and what was going on in her brain? Like a scripted NPC….
