The Government Has Been Shut Down for Months - Today is the day we stop pretending that it's not.

7. The idea of no government seems to coincide with a lot of Magat thinking as well.

A couple of months ago I had a meeting with someone
I really like, only to find out he's gone full Magat,
having bought the whole Fox news schtick, saying
Biden had cognitive impairment, etc.

When challenged on any of this, he immediately
reverted to huge fear of and dislike for government.

I told him he should move to Idaho, and he said it
was too cold.

When he said it again, I told him to move to Kerrville
because they didn't like or want government either.

The upshot is that I get the feeling that Magats voted
for the white man because he's white, and anything
he says or does -- including shutting down government--
will be tolerated because he's white ....
