There are plenty of intelligent, educated, prosperous, outwardly decent people who know better than to say the quiet part out loud: they don't want black and brown people taking over "their"/white country. They will strenuously deny they are racists; they just want to "keep things the way they are." And they vote MAGA for that reason. Tucker and TFG and the rest of the rabble shout the quiet part for them. Ask not why Carlson is the highest rated presence on broadcast media.

Well perhaps they are right in fearing that what they have done to others will be done to them when they no longer have all the power.

Exactly! Trump et al just gave them license to come on out. Time and again when given a chance they almost always go for the worst. Yesterday's primaries a latest example. With all the celebrating of Cawthorn getting ousted, it was only by a point. Robert Regan in MI 74th lost to a democrat but this guy of the "sit back and enjoy rape" still got 40%!!!

I have a problem when I hear well that " person" is really " good and decent", but...would flush my vote down along with millions of others and along with other standard MAGA " beliefs. NOT the definition of " good and decent". Apparently culture trumps education.
