Have you noticed how all of our elected Democrats from Biden on down, when we see them on the TV news
attacking our foes, they don't say "republican" as much anymore instead they say "MAGA" wing/folks/party etc.
When talking to our R friends/neighbors/coworkers/relatives we should attack the Тяцмp MAGA crowd only,
they are the anti-Democracy crowd, a clear and present danger to our Country. I'd refrain from saying MAGAts,
just use the term MAGA.
President Biden was the first one who I noticed using "MAGA", we should follow his lead. Get Rs who are not
pleased with the Тяцмp MAGA crowd to dislike/not trust them. A Divide & Conquer strategy we can all use.

(12,660 posts)It does allow the few conservatives with a sense of shame left a way out from the age old problem of when two people sit down with five Nazis at a dinner, there are seven Nazis at the table no matter how those two identify themselves.
Saying that the radicals are trying to take over a party they've already captured is letting those that remained off the hook. Unfortunately, I understand the tactic; we are trying to wean Laz's beloved sister and her chamber of commerce drone on a husband out of an increasingly radical right wing Republican party without calling them Nazi or KKK enablers.
They're old style Sunday School Christians that don't really understand how hateful their neighbors have become, even though the majority of recent "jokes" are making them really uneasy.
