    Incidentally, I think 9/11 is when the switch flipped.

    Also X-Millenial cusper. 9/11 probably eould not have happened if the Brook Brothers’ riot had not been allowed to stop ballot counting and the subsequent SCOTUS ruling handed the presidency to Bush.

    We never got Gore as a president but we’ve had gore to spare since George HW Bush took office.

    I’m even more inclined to say this goes back to the Business Plot and Prescott Bush. Prescott’s son, George Bush, would become head of the CIA before he was Ronald Reagan’s vice president.

    It likely goes even further back than that; the Bush and Walker families have had Nazi ties for generations. Timeline of Treason: The Bush Family Connections To The Nazis

      MAGA has a direct lineage from the slave holding CSA, to segregationists, southern strategy, moral majority, up through the Tea Party, the direct precursor of MAGA
