      Maybe it’s just my people but it’s die hard republicans who’ve now transferred their affiliation to MAGA because that’s what’s Republican. These are people who parroted all the bylines from Limbaugh when he was alive, and now they do the same with the new pundits.

      Sure, you run into people who were Republican, and now can’t stand the party, but they were moderate already, at least in my experience.

      Republicans are very good at staying tight and repeating the sanctioned dialogue like a chorus line of parrots. None of the transfer to MAGA surprises me.
