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.

You mentioned this before, a few weeks ago. I told you then, and I'll tell you again: MAGA has become a pejorative to probably half the population of this country. We all know what the acronym means, but it is regarded (perhaps by a majority) as not standing for that concept.

What's interesting is that I think it was Bush Sr who made "liberal" a pejorative for over a decade. But he was the opposition. Trump and his supporters have managed to make a self-applied label (i.e. "MAGA") a pejorative with their statements and actions.

So while you think we're advertising Trump, we are really deriding him. And most people know it. As Dope opined a few days ago, Trump is probably going to lose in November, and it's because of all the stuff he does that makes "MAGA" a pejorative. Let's home when don't have a repeat of the MAGA Jan 6. I don't think we've finished trying all the people arrested after the first one.
