Can you name some specific things that MAGA republicans support that is crazy?

Marjorie Taylor Greene comes to mind but that’s not really party platform. It seems to me that Trump was actually a decent president if you get past him being a jackass.

Good Q. So, excluding Trump for the discussion still leaves a lot of odd & dangerous ideas & platforms among the MAGA. #1 has to be the widespread idea and plan to move away from democracy as it has become too clumsy, autocracy is a better way. Multilevel official denial of COVID as a problem or many of its rational fixes- that cost the US ~200,000 excess lives lost. Widespread denial of global warming with actual blockage of measures to deal with it. GCC is real. Efforts to cut federal deficits by cutting funds to the iRS which will decrease legit income. MAGA has their own version of speaker & book bans, just different stuff than the Libs. I'm sure other folks can think of something too.

He goes with the wind and he's not rational. He's an opportunist first taking one side then the other. He wants to be popular, everything's all about him. Consequently he doesn't take wise council. He has an enemies-list just like Nixon did. Anyone who disagrees with him is on it He talks about killing people who disagree with him. I voted for him twice as an alternative. But listen to him. And believe he means what he says. Don't pass off his words.
