This is probably very shallow and naive but…
I just completely fail to comprehend how any non- white person could be a MAGA supporter, or just conservative in general.
It just seems like a complete failure to understand the fundamentals of the political divide.
As in… Trump would send you back to Africa if it turned out he couldn’t enslave you.
Colonized minds only see power in the behavior of their oppressor. So to become powerful like them, mimic their behavior and you will gain acceptance.
I don’t understand how anyone is, how callous to your fellow humans do you have to be?
That aside, even white woman are in on the hate… Even of other woman ffs

That said, most people don’t think at all. They just go along with it
Susan Sontag was asked what she had learned from the Holocaust, and she said that 10% of any population is cruel, no matter what, and that 10% is merciful, no matter what, and that the remaining 80% could be moved in either direction” —Kurt Vonnegut
I don’t understand how any person regardless of color could be a maga supporter. They’re openly hostile to everything that benefits ordinary people, and also very open about taking any money saved from cutting programs and giving it to the 0.1%. How can someone support that? How can someone go “hell yes! Poison the planet and steal my social security so that Musk can have even more money! Fuck yeah, brother!”? It makes zero sense.
As in… Trump would send you back to Africa if it turned out he couldn’t enslave you.
You can’t send someone “back” to somewhere they’ve never been. African Americans have been here almost as long as Caucasians.
