That’s because “maga” is a baby-word that is a stand-in for the conservatives as they have always been. None of this shit is really new - the KKK has been staunchly anti-Catholic since forever.
They just aren’t wearing hoods now. They seized power and a lot of them now have the permission structure to not only say this kind of thing behind closed doors (as they always have, by the way, I assure you).
Right, but a lot of Catholics voted MAGA last time around, solely on the basis of abortion policy. Not realizing that Catholics have always been on The List. Maybe after pregnant women, immigrants, and trans folks. But eventually, MAGA is coming for them too.
A lot of blacks and Hispanics and LGBTQ voted for “maga” too, not realizing (or forgetting, or engaging in a lot of self-delusion) they are also on The List.
A lot of people voted for their own oppression, not believing that it would ever come around to them. It takes a lot of willful ignorance of history to get to where we are.
