Or they laughed and went back to lying and spreading disinformation because they profit from doing so....

People keep expecting ethics and morality when these people run on monetary goals.

They know they are lying, they know they are hypocritical, they know they use false equivalences, they know their words dont matter, they know they are spreading disinformation, and arguing against provable facts they themselves already know and agree with,

but they will continue to smile while emptying the pockets of dumbasses who believe them.

I angered a British fascist (who I thought was no longer a fascist), and he went magat! I think he was just trying to provoke me, though. I hope so, because the very idea of a British magat is insane. He's probably reading this, too :/

Someone came into the shop I work at wearing a maga hat a couple of months ago, and I live in England. I don't understand it either

it's considered a little obvious to wear a white hood or nazi armband these days

I'd guess a combination of Internet "research", watching GB News (as appropriately named as Fox News), and daily mail/sun consumption, coupled with a desire to belong to something, whilst wanting the decline in living standards and ridiculous house prices to end.

Genuinely depressing 🙃

I’m British/American. It came as a shock to me that there are indeed British magats. They have red Mega hats. Don’t know if they are astroturfed or not but they had a march in central London protesting a jailbird who they like a lot couple of weeks ago. I’m in a Facebook group for Brits in the USA and there are a number of Trump worshippers among them.

I've met Qultists here in England🤦‍♂️. I used to want to visit America when I was younger because there's so much wilderness left, but I'd hate to live there. Especially now.

Oh don’t worry there won’t be much wilderness left. I don’t know if the national park service who do fire maintenance etc are back working yet. Courts are in flux. But between wildfires, and talks about development on federal land, it might be gone soon.

I've been thinking about this. Maybe it's an angle worth pushing. "Tourists are money!". Brits have been using that one as an excuse for keeping royalty around for so long that the Sex Pistols took the piss out of monarchy apologists for it, but it still works now and is at least as applicable to America's national parks. They can't drain the country of money if it doesn't have any left.

Which is why they only "get" it when it's material goods and not people involved.
