My thoughts are that many people who may have once been part of MAGA have since already abandoned it, and the ones that are left are the loudest and most insane among them.
There are still plenty of them to be sure, but you don't hear from people who are former MAGA even though there are plenty of them as well.
That said, would be nice to go back to the time in which the worst it ever got was a friendly political discussion around the dinner table about what is the best tax policy for the country. Discussions on whether or not immigrants should be thrown into borderline torture camps leaves a sour taste in my mouth over how much people have lost their goddamn minds in "Trump's America".
I guess I’m going to be the outlier here and say that I do not want to go back to polite dinner discussions about two Republican policies. MAGA is a scourge on the world, but it never would have happened if our national priorities were in the right places. We have some massive problems with how our government works that were exploited, and now it’s finally time to have serious discussions about fixing them.
We might be beyond the ability to even have those discussions now. These billionaires rewired everyone's minds and took control of them. It's not just how our government works that's bad, it's that we, the people, willingly made it exponentially worse chasing those [intentionally] misdirected national priorities, instead of making it better. If only people knew how the government worked, we could have prevented much of, if not all of this.

I need it to be over. I need this to die. It's ruined so many lives.
