You’re missing the evidence that: 1.) Trump himself committed terrorism 2.) Trump has made plans to commit more acts of terror 3.) His supporters are aware of, and support points 1 & 2 The other issue with your analogy is that unlike Christianity generally, Catholicism is an actual organization with real membership. When you say MAGA, what are you even referring to? Who actually belongs? Is it even a coherent organization?
You’re attempting to argue semantics lmao maga is anyone that self identifies as such, you can usually tell by the ludicrous amount of Trump memorabilia on their cars or clothes. Anyone that’s not only complicit but encouraging and accepting of the regressive policies is maga and a traitor to American health education and unity
Ya but there’s a difference between constructive semantics and “define who actually *belongs* in maga” because that shit is so obvious and half the time they’re excited to yell about their political extremism. Because if you’re maga you’re an ultra nationalist fascist, it’s just what maga is now at this point
And what’s your point with focusing on this? Do you want me to magically whip up a “nazi scanner” so that during WWII we could just scan every German to see if they’re a Nazi? It doesn’t change the fact that maga is literally. Acting like terrorists and need to be treated as such, at least the ones we can confirm are maga. After all it isn’t like maga cares about making sure they’re getting the actual criminals and shit so what’s your point?
Nobody can tell what anybody else thinks or believes, it’s all based on their actions and words. If they acted and spoke in defense of maga still with what they’ve done in the present, then they are as guilty as Nazi supporters during the third reich. Complacency to tyranny in a democracy is acceptance of it, and acceptance of it is progression towards it
