The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I despise how if Trump loses, then it was a rigged election. But if Trump wins, then it was a free
and fair election. Many Republicans in downstream elections ( on the very same ballot ) won their races in 2020. So I guess those elections weren't rigged, just the Presidential election. Pretty hard for a rational person to accept that BS.

Trump lost popular vote to Hillary.
Trump lost popular ( and electoral ) vote to Biden.
So there is plenty of evidence out there that the majority of the voting population
is against Trump. But MAGA refuses to believe it. They remind me of little kids acting
like if they really, really believe it, then it must be true.

I have MAGA in my life,too. We don't talk about politics anymore. We have in the past,
and I would speak/voice my opinions, which they did not like. There has been a cooling of
friendship between MAGA that I know, and myself. I am perfectly fine with that, don't really
care about their snowflake tendencies, especially after hearing for years how everybody but MAGA were snowflakes. With MAGA family members, I just do not talk about it, and vice versa. We all know where we stand on it, I sure as hell ain't changing my view on Trump, and i'm sure they feel the same way.
