    You don’t need to be nuanced about it. MAGA extremists have actually killed people on American (and Canadian) soil, planned bombings, and attempted to overthrow the government.

      And particularly chilling: they have the police on their side. When the maggots all show up at your neighborhood or place of work to vandalize and harass and assault, the cops will arrive late and they will be turned to face against you

        Well - and don’t take this as criticism - I’m very much allied with the police in most situations. I’ve seen instances were our local police have gone after MAGA extremists, so I’ve seen a different side of it. They shot and killed a man here (in Utah) who had threatened to target Biden when he visited us. What I’ve found is, if I’m not doing anything criminal I usually am not bothered by the police. Our local police walk kids home safely from school and help out families in need here.

      True. There’s nothing nuanced about MAGA extremism to be sure. It makes me truly question the mentality of those who willingly join in it.
