(Watch the video below.)The talk show does not mention in the video how many people they had to interview to find these uninformed souls ― but their answers alone could erode collective trust in the American voter.Advertisement

One would think that for the fervent MAGA base, hot-button topics like critical race theory and DEI would be a slam dunk ― but not in this segment that the show reposted on Thursday.No, sir, Marxism is not “putting a point on somebody.” And to the guy who tied DEI to hamburger production, you’re making us hungry.RelatedDonald Trump2024 electionsJimmy KimmelMAGA Stalwart Sought For Top Trump Administration Job Has A Shocking AgendaSome Supporters At Detroit MAGA Rally Were Frauds, Report SaysTrump Souvenir Vendors Brawl Before Michigan MAGA Rally Go to HomepageLEAVE A COMMENTSuggest a correction|Submit a tipAdvertisement

I keep hearing that we shouldn't mock the ignorance of MAGA  people, that it makes them even more stubborn about their choice. But whenever I hear them interviewed, their lack of understanding about how government works and their failure to grasp facts is infuriating. 

Whenever the nytimes interviews trump supporters I want them to push back the way these interviewers did, but the nytimes never points out that they are wrong or clueless. 

Whenever I see articles or videos where they do get push back , they don't care, they still stand firm about their love of trump. So what is it really that attracts them. REALLY. . . hate and fear. 

You can say that they had to interview 100 to get 10 people that were clueless. But if you go to MAGA forums or talk to MAGA Friends and family, they all sound like this. 

You can say that progressives are the same, but I personally look up facts I'm not sure about. I was reading a book by  General McMaster who has served under trump. The book had negative things to say, but also made excuses -  example : trump was harried and harassed by untrue claims that Russian interference helped his campaign. I had a moment - ummm. Was I remembering incorrectly?  I stopped reading to take time and research. The general had parsed his words referring to a paper that was never even used as evidence by Mueller. 

The point is I was open enough to doubt my memory and check. I've seen progressives among friends and family do the same.  I've seen progressives on forums willing to concede when confronted by facts. I have never seen MAGA people do this. Even MAGA who should know better, who are well known editorialists - as if they must continue to pander to ignorant people in order to keep one foot in the door just in case Trump wins. 

Why do I have to pander to people who are ignorant and wrong? Why must the expectation to act as an adult be put only on me? Why must I constantly be reminded of why they feel that way and told to be nice, have compassion. Why is the same never asked of them? 

And why allow them to remain ignorant just to have them  perceive that as proof they are correct? 

Ugh. Tirade over.
