    Therein lies the point of MAGA efforts. If you keep your base punching the left then they won’t remember they’re working class, not really being crushed by the left, and may start to punch up.

    They’re already too scared to do in person town halls. Even so, this steered rage is intentional.

    You’re not displaced by corporate, but by immigrants, DEI, and non-traditional women.

      Maga efforts assisted by Democratic leaders that also focus on everything else but class issues as well.

      Don’t forget the church in your metaphor. That way, the punches that keep those MAGATs spitting leftwise are reich crosses.
