I have most of the MAGA cult on ignore. The abusive one's. But I find them useful for understanding that mind set, and seeing where they will go in their thinking as regards the Trump disaster. I have spent my entire life trying to understand how smart people can be Republicans. I am curious about it. One of the reasons I majored in psychology was because I noticed this phenomenon early in my college days and wanted to understand it. I never did, exactly. It is some weird combination of nature and nurture, but hard to separate e.g. early childhood indoctrination, genetics and lack of education seem to be the three primary variables, but are often commingled. Ignorance doesn't bother me, except where it involves cruelty, or offensive behavior.
