The Real MAGA mystery

I know a lot of MAGA oriented people in my life. Relatives, business associates, long time friends. They all have one thing in common and I'll bet all the Trumpers on SW share it:

None of them had the slightest interest in anything political prior to the time Obama was president and Fox News spending all day long talking about him like coming of Satan.

All of a sudden these people around me are talking off kilter politics to me everytime I see them. Rarely heard them talk about it before. All of a sudden they're watching Fox as much as they can, if they watched the news before it was for sports and weather.

Then Trump comes along and it blooms into all consuming passion.

From almost zero interest in the political world to making politics their whole world.

Do they even realize it?

I swear they don't. My friend of 30 years or more is doing the same thing. Never talked once about Republicans versus Democrats, except when we both hated George W. Bush together. Trump gets into office, and he goes off the deep end. And then he has the nerve to tell me I've changed.

@LordShadowfire my aunt is 80 years old and has a life long friend. These two were so close the friend's husband gave my cousin away at her wedding.
The friend went all nuclear political with Trump to the point that she started getting nasty with my aunt. She says it hangs over their heads now and the friendship isn't the same.
Stupid and sad at the same time
