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?

Everyone who ever said they are not political essentially has lied, even if they are not outwardly displaying their beliefs (or have not yet even consciously identified their own beliefs), nor actively participating in elections, but for the specific group of people you know personally, from zero to rabid all starting from the moment of the election of the first Black POTUS is just a weeeeee bit suspicious

Now Tucker talks about nonsense like "white genocide" ...

What could be the triggering issue to make these people suddenly hyperpartisans, hmmm, what could it be ...

@SW-User Alot of people forget that the status quo is also a political position.
