1. Deshumanización y Crueldad como Punto Central.
Las publicaciones describen una tendencia dentro del movimiento MAGA a deshumanizar a los inmigrantes y a otros grupos. Se argumenta que esta deshumanización justifica y promueve un trato cruel, que es visto no como un efecto secundario, sino como el objetivo principal de su política.
- Magas are conditioned not to see immigrants as humans. Democrats, lgbtq, blacks, and feminists as well. Guess who that leaves?
- Let the historical record show that the maga in my community see immigrants as less than human. Let the historical record show that the maga in my community were made aware of concentration camps, and they didn't care. May they rot in hell.
- The fundamental, unspoken psychology of maga is based in inferiority. They know immigrants are better than them. Hence the cruelty.
- Hatred against immigrants 'trumps' supporting your own people. It's more important to show your racism than compassion in maga. The cruelty is the point.
2. El Inmigrante como Chivo Expiatorio Universal.
Un tema recurrente es la percepción de que MAGA utiliza a los inmigrantes como chivo expiatorio para todos los problemas económicos y sociales, desde el desempleo hasta la delincuencia. Esta táctica desvía la atención de las verdaderas causas y de los responsables de las dificultades que enfrentan sus seguidores.
- Maga was trained to blame immigrants for all their failures. Unemployment is because they take your jobs, homelessness is because they buy all the houses, crime is because they’re rapists and murderers.
- Its that special maga mix of stupid and arrogant. Blaming immigrants for being ripped off by billionaires. Pretending their constitution will save them.
- The magas on the bottom feel it, too, but their leaders tell them that immigrants are causing this, and they believe it.
- Maga: followers with a victim mindset who shun accountability, blaming immigrants and minorities for their own self-inflicted mediocrity and life failures.
3. La Ideología del Odio como Fundamento.
Se postula que el odio hacia los inmigrantes y otros colectivos no es un elemento más de la ideología MAGA, sino su pilar fundamental. Sin este componente de animosidad y división, el movimiento carecería de una plataforma coherente o de propuestas constructivas.
- This is all the magas actually have, fear mongering. Without hating immigrants what do magas actually stand for…. Other than hating other people? that’s about it.
- Maga doesn't care about facts. They want to hate. Blaming democrats is easy. Hating immigrants is a massive thing for maga.
- The fact is these are the ties that bind maga: hatred of immigrants, minorities and lgtbq, hatred of the free press and love of vulgar, bullying tyrant types. This is their platform.
- I don’t see how maga hating immigrants makes their lives any better. Or how hating the woke and libs benefits them. Hate consumes a lot of energy and must constantly be fed.
4. Consecuencias Inesperadas para sus Propios Votantes.
Las citas destacan una ironía trágica: las políticas antiinmigrantes que los seguidores de MAGA apoyaron terminan perjudicándolos directamente, ya sea a través de la deportación de familiares, el colapso de sus negocios por falta de mano de obra o el deterioro de su propia calidad de vida.
- Many immigrants have regrets voting for trump. Especially the ones that are getting pick up off the street for being brown or stopped and harassed.
- They knew they were going to deport all the immigrants, and despite their workforce being 70% undocumented, they voted for him anyway. She openly admits they voted for their own demise. Enthusiastically. Now they're bankrupt.
- This isn’t true. Maga did in fact vote to make things worse. They just thought trump would only make things worse for their enemies (democrats and immigrants), not for themselves.
- Those trump voters who are like “i supported trump and then he got rid of the immigrants just like he said—including my own spouse,” and you’re like “yes, as he said.”.
5. Hipocresía y Disonancia Cognitiva.
Se señala una fuerte contradicción en el comportamiento de los seguidores de MAGA. Esto incluye a inmigrantes que apoyan políticas que van en contra de nuevos inmigrantes, o a quienes denuncian la inmigración ilegal mientras se benefician de la mano de obra indocumentada.
- It is really sad how many magas are immigrant themselves - especially immigrants who came here to escape authoritarianism.
- Maga racist hypocrisy. They scream “mass deport illegal (undocumented) immigrants!” at rallies, but meanwhile they also employ them at their companies.
- They thought they would be spared because they voted for him. They only wanted the dems and immigrants to be harmed. Cognitive dissonance at its finest.
- I'll believe maga actually hates illegal immigration (as opposed to simply being gratified by the chance to treat brown people like garbage) when they're sanguine about not having access to the inexpensive goods and services these immigrants provide.
