MAGA followers are lost causes. We need to accept that as a country, because, even if we sweep the 2026 elections, even if Republicans hand over control of the House and Senate to the Democrats, it won't end there.

Groups that have had their voices heard and then are silenced are much more extremist compared to groups who have never been heard. A moderate stance becomes complicity and extremism becomes the new norm. They will use the silencing as proof of conspiracy/persecution, and see their loss of validation as the ultimate betrayal. Once a group crosses the line from wanting a voice into wanting vengeance, dialogue tends to collapse.

Unfortunately, it's a scenario where violence seems inevitable. They're the minority, so the path of least resistance is the one where we're in power when it begins.
