    It’s not changed, they’ve just taken the mask off a bit more now. Some of us could always see through it

      MAGA hasn’t changed. Whom they believe will be the targets of government intervention has changed.

      “My hate speech is free speech” but “Your hate speech is intolerable”
      “My tiktok propaganda is patriotic” but “Your tiktok propaganda is treason”
      “My military actions promote world peace” but “Your pointless wars are unsustainable”

      In a large way it is. We know people don’t know what the politicians are. They voted for reform. Part of that reform was no Wars, to end this globalization bullshit, to make the rich screwing us pay. Because the Democrats refused to pursue those the Republicans were able to lie about them pursuing them. This all just shows a real muscular reform candidate could win overwhelmingly and Usher in 100 Years of prosperity like FDR did.

      How is it a rewrite?

      Ie; Even though their previous position of ‘free speech absolutist’ before was daft, at least you could trick yourself into thinking it was principled. The meme just highlights the hypocrisy in a format that’ll be palatable to them - more likely to get through to someone if you say they’ve lost their values vs never having them.

    They were always like this, you’re just getting older and smarter and you can see through the packaging and the branding and the propaganda better now.

    The top set of images needs to be removed, then copy the bottom images to the top. Then the meme is accurate.

    The picture is way too overdone, it should show a slightly flabier guy every frame. Seriously you should fix this shit cuz it would be good otherwise.

    That’s exactly it.

    They win you over. Then they pull the rug from under you.

    Oh, and the “they” is identified as fascist. They may not identify themselves as such, but that’s what they undoubtebly are.

    The “you” is an all-inclusive you. It may not be you specifically, but it is “a large enough segment of the population for their shit to be tolerated by literally everyone in it. And some around it”.
