I know a few MAGA. They never complain about Trump's policies. They believe him when he says he's "getting things done". They spit back his lies. They appear unbothered that the Rose Garden has turned into a glorified bar patio or that the Oval Office looks like the waiting room of a bordello.

But Democrats and those who claim to align with Democrats demand absolute perfection. Well, the perfect doesn't exist, but we have had some pretty damn good candidates starting in 2000, all of whom would have introduced stability and sanity.
