Ultra Maga Co-Worker

[lame54]

Removed all their Trump and maga bumper stickers

[Moostache]

1. Tell them from me...

TOO FUCKING LATE!!!
You bought it, you gonna pay for it.....FOREVER!!!!

Trump will die (hopefully SOON, but not soon enough), their SHAME is eternal.


And I vote to drop "ultra-MAGA" and revert to the normal language of the pre-2015 world - "the racist scumbag" will do nicely.

[johnnyfins]

2. THIS THIS THIS

[snowybirdie]

12. Would rather

See people come over to our side so we can convince them we're not haters like MAGA is.

[pimpbot]

22. in an ideal world yes

But maga man isnt coming to our side. He might not display the stickers bit come next election he will vote for whoever has the R.

[hadEnuf]

61. They are getting worried now.

The tide is turning against them and they are feeling it. They are trying to hide now like the rock dwelling vermin the are.

[OldBaldy1701E]

68. You got it.

The rats are deserting the ship.

The problem is... that they are still rats.

We have to remember this whenever one of them acts as if they have become sentient.

People are always understanding and accepting when they are looking at socioeconomic ruin, starvation, and homelessness as the alternative.

It is when they are flush that they start to revert back to their old ways. They can't help it. It is in their DNA.

So, we can either keep doing this cycle, or we can remember what they are and take appropriate steps to make sure they cannot influence our politics ever again.

(We are going to stay with the first one, aren't we? )

[krkaufman]

66. Saw a similar tweet the other day.

… someone saying they’re done supporting Trump, but also that they didn’t regret any of their three votes for him … as any Democrat would be a worse alternative.

Just damaged, brainwashed people.

[CanonRay]

32. They maybe dumping Trump, but they'll never come over to our side.

Save your breath.

[LPBBEAR]

23. I agree

I think of Magats and Republicans and all of us as products that came down a factory assembly line. Magats and Republicans were assembled on either Monday, after factory employees had a long drunken party weekend, or they were assembled on a Friday after a long hard work week. The rest of us were assembled on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. That also neatly explains the percentage of defective die hard Trump supporters.

As a product they'll always malfunction no matter what they might currently say.

[Climate Crusader]

29. Worst possible reaction and just contributes to the problem.

The goal should not be to weaken MAGA by convincing their faithful to abandon their position.

The more difficult, but ultimately the best route is to convince the other side to abandon theirr side and JOIN our side.

But, it's easier to call names and try to shame the weakened party.

It's why they have done it in the past and likely why weaker elements on our side will do the same thing.

[mwmisses4289]

31. We have spent some 40+ years reaching out to them (in all their various iterations),

taking the high road, told to try empathizing with them, we just didn't understand their concerns. And what have we gotten in return? Being mocked and demonized for being kind, decent, law abiding citizens who love this country. Well, no more. I, for one, am done. It's time to get down and dirty. It's time to insist those maga idiots who voted for t and hate America so much they love dictators around the world rather than America either start attempting to reach out to us (but prepare to be looked on with distrust and rebuffed), or move to one of those dictator loving countries they seem to admire so much.
I am polite to them if I have to interact with them at work, but off work- no.
They can go rot in whatever hell they believe in for all I care.

[Climate Crusader]

35. Different side.

Same coin.

[Moostache]

37. Amen!!!

Not sure if the idea is to actually change things (because the last 47 years have been a straight up shitshow) or spoofing me, but I have been spit on and shat upon by GOP priorities far too often and too long to say that its OK to turn the other cheek any longer.

They go low? Then jump up and curb-stomp the motherfucker...

[mercuryblues]

58. Exactly

The John Birch society; Christian coalition; teabaggers; Magas; and more than a few I haven't heard of.

same shit different name.

These people hate democracy more than they love their country. Fuck them. They will still vote for the shiny object that has an R next to their name.

[Wednesdays]

46. It's unclear from the OP

...that the MAGA person changed because of something a Democrat did or said.

I'm betting that was not the case.

Rather, he/she is disillusioned with current Republicans, as is the case with a whole lot of former MAGAts. That's not something we have a whole lot of control over.

[Tim S]

3. As the song says... "This could be the start of something big" 🤞

[Ms. Toad]

4. One of my MAGA high school classmates

Just made an anti-Trump post. Not even a reposted meme - an original post he thought up all on his own. I was so surprised I had to double check to make sure I wasn't just being fed a random post by someone else with the same name.

[GenThePerservering]

5. "I realise now what I did wrong, and am changing"

"Oh yeah? Well FUCK YOU!! You don't pass the purity test!!!!"

Cuz' we're all perfect here.

[ForgedCrank]

9. yup

[dpibel]

14. As if they're going to vote D

You do realize, I trust, that there is a vast gulf between realizing Trump is a mess and actually changing the baseline ideas that go with voting R? Trump is an extreme version of modern Republicanism. I'm pretty sure that the number of sad MAGAs who are going to switch their votes is vanishingly small.

If this person is going to vote for Vance or Rubio or whoever runs in '28, then there's no purity test being applied. They continue to be stupid. They continue to believe the crap that FOX feeds them, just without the Trump part.

When former MAGAs start showing up on DU, let me know. That's when we'll need to debate purity tests.

[pimpbot]

24. best we can hope for

Is that they sit out the next election, or become fractured and vote for some looney toons who has no chance.

[thomski64]

27. No, they won't vote D..

..but many will stay home..

[dpibel]

28. Yes, that would be great

I don't think the application of a "purity test" by any Democrat is going to have much effect on that.

So scolding people on this site for being less than forgiving seems to me off base.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

56. That's the same message sent to Dems

Meet arbitrary purity demands. Or else.

[dpibel]

62. Arbitrary?

Which ones are arbitrary?

Gender equality?

Racial equality?

Respect for people who are different from me?

Do you really believe that there's some group of Democrats who are arbitrarily demanding anything?

There may be some high aspirations. But does that constitute arbitrary?

What's your line between supported and arbitrary?

Or are you using arbitrary in some sense other than "chosen, decided, etc. seemingly at random or on a whim rather than in a reasoned or methodical way"

[Skittles]

63. that is not it at ALL

THEY HAD PLENTY OF FUCKING WARNINGS YET THEY UTTERLY DISGRACED AMERICA

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

6. ..

[Maru Kitteh]

7. One at a time. I welcome them ALL. It's the only way we "Orban" this thing.

[Martin Eden]

39. Especially when our authoritarian government will pull out all stops to disenfranchise and suppress the vote

We need a landslide.

And we need to understand that continuing to express grievance and hatred towards those who are beginning to realize they made a mistake may provide temporary satisfaction, but the ONLY practical effect it could have is to hurt our effort to defeat fascism in America.

[MayReasonRule]

8. Only Rapists Support Rapists. Only Nazis Support Nazis. Once A Rapist Always A Rapist. Once A Nazi Always A Nazi.

Fascism is the state devouring itself.

Power welded to delusion, a self‑protecting fantasy that blesses “redemptive” violence and arms itself with law, police, and prisons—until Reason returns and law becomes an architecture of trust, not domination.

Once a rapist always a rapist.
Once a Nazi always a Nazi.

Fuck Rapists.
Fuck Nazis.

The GOP now operates as an ongoing wholly fascist criminal enterprise intent upon wholesale destruction of our representative democracy and anyone or anything that dares oppose their unbridled delusionally malevolent depravity unleashed as their ongoing crimes against humanity.

Jabberwocky's pissed as fuck and ready to roll.

[City Lights]

10. The cult slowly awakens!!! nt

[AnotherMother4Peace]

11. The 3 loud mouth dumpsters I know have been quiet & the one removed his tRump bumper stickers.

[Easterncedar]

13. It's hard to admit you've been a fool, to be fair

Yes, I am enraged and purely loathe the magats, but the forces that picked up and amplified their worst natures are very powerful and effective - and are the real evil. The magats are mainly weak, greedy, ignorant, hateful and pathetic tools.

I try to tell myself that these assholes did not have the benefit of my privileged, open-minded upbringing, and that hating them is kind of like blaming people for being in poverty.

I will never like or forgive them, but I am glad when I hear that some of them are turning away from the dark, even if just to the extent of ceasing to broadcast their ugly stupidity.

[FakeNoose]

15. There's always the chance that the bumper stickers were removed by his wife and kids

But we'll call it a "win" anyway.

[Lifeafter70]

30. He is a she and if we didn't talk politics was really nice

She is first generation Cuba and I'm sure her father and husband were an influence on her politics.
I have seen her be compassionate and help fellow employees and customers. Her politics were confusing to me.

You wouldn't have known she was a trump supporter unless you saw her bumper stickers or engaged in politics.
Both lame54 and I worked with her.

Patty lame54 wife

[ffr]

16. Not the ones here. They're full steam ahead with tRump still. They are enamored with what he's doing

because they can see the hurt he's putting on the country, which they still see as leftist.



The GOP needs to be destroyed at the ballot box. Not just in this election, FOREVER!

[BidenRocks]

17. Come out, come out where ever you are!

One last chance to bring out all your maga shit and burn it!

If not you can wear it to a huuuge indoor chump rally!

(Cue the cinema from "Inglorious Basterds"!)

They should look up traitors in their history (book)!

[cstanleytech]

18. And years from now they will probably also deny ever supporting Trump in the first place.

[lame54]

21. Just like the man himself

[dem4decades]

19. The true believers are just like Trump, they'll double down on their stupidity.

[LiberalArkie]

20. How I handle visitors, delivery drivers who might be Trump supporters. Really

[Abolishinist]

54. It looks like you've electrified the signs, so if they attempt to

remove them they get how much, 120?

And then I see there's a noose on the top left.

You don't mess around!

[LiberalArkie]

55. The wire goes to a camera up above the signs... even better

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

25. Did they remove it on their own initiative?

Or did some manager tell them to get political stuff out of sight?

[lame54]

26. On their own

[MayReasonRule]

33. You Can't Undo Being A Nazi Anymore Than One Can Undo Being A Rapist

Fascism is the state devouring itself.

Power welded to delusion, a self‑protecting fantasy that blesses “redemptive” violence and arms itself with law, police, and prisons—until Reason returns and law becomes an architecture of trust, not domination.

Once a rapist always a rapist.
Once a Nazi always a Nazi.

Fuck Rapists.
Fuck Nazis.

The whole of the GOP operates as an ongoing wholly fascist criminal enterprise intent upon wholesale destruction of our representative democracy and anyone or anything that dare oppose their unbridled delusionally malevolent depravity unleashed as their ongoing crimes against humanity.

Jabberwocky's pissed as fuck and ready to roll.

[Demobrat]

34. Doesn't mean he's changed his attitudes.

Just that he doesn’t feel like bragging about them right now.

[Lifeafter70]

36. She never really bragged when talking with her

If we talked politics it was rare. What she did do was give the reasons she supported trump. Which both lame54 and I could shoot holes in. She was first generation Cuban so had hypocritical views on immigration but didn't support mass deportation. She didn't believe it was actually happening.
A few of our fellow employees all belonged to the same church.
As long as you didn't talk politics or religion she was nice and a hard worker.

Patty lame54's wife

[somsai]

38. There is a fairly large demographic that can vote either way

They can switch party they vote for or they can not vote at all. They decide close elections.

[not fooled]

40. And yet they were so smug after the 2024 election

and their signs were so big beforehand.

There's something very wrong with ANYONE who couldn't see this coming. Whether they supported him out of ignorance, stupidity, predilection for being in a cult, racism, religious zealotry, or anything else...the signs were so obvious and the warnings so clear that they have no excuse.

[Native]

41. An older, rabid-MAGA couple who watches our dog has taken down all their paraphernalia too

A giant Trump flag on the front lawn, Trump signs, bumper stickers, Etc. All gone. This happened a few months ago. My take is that if the brainwashed hoardes are now deculting, there is real hope.

[Miguelito Loveless]

42. The stain of MAGA will NEVER

fade. Neither will the stench.

[Glaisne]

44. The stages of MAGA:

MAGA
Super MAGA
Mega MAGA
Ultra MAGA
Quantum MAGA
Post MAGA

[Zelda_Orchid]

67. But don't say they're a cult

[Wednesdays]

45. Well, it's a start.

Let us know if they start actively supporting Democrats.

[Ars Longa]

48. I imagine it would be a big victory for us - if they just

won't/ don't vote at all!!!!!!!!!!

[Wednesdays]

49. Yup. I'll take it. nt

[Skittles]

47. they can still go fuck themselves

yes INDEED

[proud patriot]

50. Tell him it's time to grab a fire extinguisher

To put out the fire he and all trump voters started and are responsible for. Otherwise you'll remind him daily of the stickers he is now ashamed of .

[Martin68]

51. How does one distinguish an "ultra" Maga from the garden variety?

[lame54]

53. One of the stickers read...

Ultra maga and proud of it

[Martin68]

60. That's just show-off. They are all ultra morons and proud of it.

[ShazzieB]

52. I love it when MAGA maniacs do stuff like this!

As some have pointed out, this doesn't necessarily mean they're going to start voting for Dems or anything like that, but the schadenfreude of witnessing their discomfiture is very satisfying in the moment.

[biocube]

57. It would've been nice if Democrats had PUSHED BACK on Trump dubbing himself the peace candidate...

and Kamala didn't proudly accept the Cheney's endorsements.

You can't rely on the both-sides-ism media or right-wing media to report facts. Trump is a moron but he figured out the political winds had shifted a decade ago while Democrats campaign like it's 2004.

[MW67]

59. Probably took all of it off

To make room for the next disaster Republican bumper sticker ,soon they will all be talking about how they've got to get back to "Conservative" core value's and Fox will have them all in a fervor over their next Savior, just like with Bush and trump, I'm almost 60 and have watched them be snookered by the same old, " He's gonna straighten this Country out " nonsense since I was a child, it's a symptom of not being able to admit you were wrong to begin with, which is all of them I know

[summer_in_TX]

64. So much of the practices necessary for democracy has been lost over the last 30 years.

Key habits and values are essential to democracy. If we are ever to have a democracy again, we need to find a way to regain them: the willingness to give others the benefit of the doubt, to be curious about the person and be willing to look for what has shaped their lives, and to find connections where we can. Another one that used to be relatively widespread and is now on the ropes is tolerance of differences.

My husband shared a quote from a NYT opinion piece by Ezra Klein that he wrote recently:

“Conversation is not a reward to be bestowed on those with whom we agree; it’s a necessary habit in a democracy. The point is not to find agreement so much as to deepen understanding. To talk with others is to believe in the possibility of change — theirs and your own. Whether you like everything that someone has said should be severed from the question of whether that person is worth talking to.”

What are some of the other necessary habits in a democracy?
