What makes one a MAGA? If we're gonna discuss this, you'll need to clearly define it.
If you vote for someone whose slogan is Make America Great Again (MAGA) you are a MAGA. Why are you so sensitive about the term? Are you embarrassed to be a Trump supporter?
But you had to work at it and want to get better. That’s to much work for someone that can get something handed to them and not have to exert themselves in an effort to get better. Plus you can’t eat all the crappy food they enjoy.
The simple version.
You support all of Trump’s ideas and appointments which for many of us who are BRATs, is not something we choose to be part of.
We don’t believe religion should be in politics. You do.
But, the simple answer is you support Trump’s policies.
And available everywhere including your local gas station. Many small Iowa towns no longer have a grocery store. The probably have a Caseys and maybe a Dollar General.
I post articles from the website, as I do with countless other sources, left, center and right.

I thought RFK is going to magically fix all this? No?
On a serious note, it is sad to watch 1/3 of America lose trust in a variety of fields (medicine, education, etc). Especially considering that many of these talking points originated with Russian propaganda on social media. The medical profession is not as bad as you think it is.
I shop regularly because I cook regularly.
I do not eat nor buy chips nor ice cream, nor cookies. And the irony is most of those things are $5 a pop.
I don’t drink soda.
I also eat pastured meat and heritage eggs, and seafood. Not fried.
I drink coffee, tea, water and wine, an occasional Mic Ultra or a Bloody Mary.
My a1c is 3.5%. I lost 35 pounds, and quit taking BP meds.
Rarely eat white bread, sugar, rice or pasta.
My comfort food is Asian food.
I’ve lived in three foreign countries, and learned to cook the foods.
If you eat 12 ounce steaks, even if it’s grass fed/finished, you’re still eating too much meat. My meat intake is about 2 1/2 oz at most at one sitting.
But, I’ve been doing this since the ‘70’s. Maybe it’s why I don’t have major health issues.

Agree with your premise but it might be a wise thing to consider a kick start of sorts.
I’m glad that there’s at least a start of a national conversation about this. It’s overdue.
The record is clear here. Countless posts with links to a variety of news sources.
Also, the mechanism for these meds to work is that they suppress appetite, so it actually helps people accomplish these things.
I never would have guessed that well over half of America was MAGA. I just thought they weren’t f’d up in the head.
Learn something new every day.
Think you need a math lesson. Less people voted in this election than in 2020.
The margin was 1.2%. That is neither well over half, nor is it a mandate.
The last President that actually got this was Reagan.
I'm honestly confused why those, including you, that voted for Trump are insulted by being called MAGA. Do you not agree with Trump's slogan? I use the term MAGA instead of Republican because many Republicans do not support Trump. I also never put a t at the end like many posters do. Seriously why are some of you so offended by it?
I get called a liberal all the time on here and I don't feel insulted by the term even though it's often meant to be derogatory. I am a liberal and proud of it.
In addition many obese people have other issues that make exercise difficult due to their weight such as back, knee, or foot pain. They gain weight because exercise is painful and additional weight increases their pain. If the injections help them lose some of the weight their ability to move and burn calories increases.
All that's necessary is to say no,.. There is no requirement for Medicare or Medicaid to foot the bill for every possible treatment that Big Pharma manages to dream up,.. We should cover what we can afford within the realm of what is considered medically necessary.
Correction, less votes were counted in the 2024 election, guessing around the same amount of people voted.
Weird how one year had such a large spike in votes compared to every other election year.
If they wanted to get rid of Trump so badly, why didn’t they return to the voting booth to keep him out of office.
So wouldn’t you call them republicans if they don’t support Trump as the MAGA’s are full blown Trump supporters. Maybe that’s why you are not understanding why people don’t appreciate being called MAGA
Would it make you feel better if I said MAGA Republicans?
ETA: What about MAGA Independents or MAGA Democrats?
Trump got just under 77 million votes in this election.
There's roughly 340 million people in the US.
Those particular individuals may have sneered at the Trump wing of the party but the vast majority of Boomer republicans and their rural brethren found ways to embrace MAGA views.
Sure, it’s like dumb fvck democrats and dumb fvck independents.
Do you prefer to be a dumb fvck democrat or a liberal.
Are you saying MAGA is made up of dumb fvcks because I sure didn't say that. Once again you seem to feel slighted even though I made no claim being MAGA was dumb. I don't understand the appeal, but I never call anyone dumb.
Bullshit. Conservative bias is conservative bias. When you post nonsense from nonsensical sites it matters.
Liberal bias is admitted. Problem or is truth is not on your side. You wouldn't know because you believe the lies, you're fed. It's on your culture.
Don't blame me for telling me you. Blame the lies and misinformation you've been fed for decades by conservative media. Or don't listen.
Live in your environment of untruth. But don't begin to claim to listen or read a variety of news/information sources. Your posts reflect your ultra conservative views, and I find it difficult to believe anyone can absorb and process total information and be vindictive, heartless and cruel towards others.
However, I've wondered this about Republicans all by life.
I take it you would prefer being called a liberal.
In that case, have a great evening and night dumb fvck democrat.
Liberal and/or Democrat is fine with me. Your adjectives are childish and speak to your inferiority complex, not my posts.
And republican is fine for me as well. I’m guessing most other republican prefer that over maga as well.
That hasn't been my experience, other than my parents, but they only live in Iowa 3 months out of the year. My uncle used to be sensible but ever since he retired, he's been glued to NewsMax in the kitchen and become hardcore MAGA. It's been interesting to witness the total loss of any critical analysis or cognitive ability on his part.
