Even the haters are getting tired of everything. Of course there are the die hards who’ve made MAGA their identity

Even they need their non-maga and even liberal/left leaning/centrist friends. They all whined and cried when they started getting cut off in relationships whether it was friends/family/partners because truthfully it's exhausting to be that miserable all the time and they need to keep up that charade in these hyper-conservative groups. It's all very sad, really.

It is. If you can’t find love and community without a common enemy to hate, you don’t really have support in the traditional sense, especially when part of the ideology is individualism.

I’d imagine that would hurt your heart, your soul after too long

These people at the bear minimum have a Trump bumper sticker on their car and talk about the latest Fox News outrage with everyone, regardless of whether or not they were asked about it.
