I wish more of these stories (what happened to this MAGA person who used to be in the range of normal) landed on a simpler fact.
When you go full MAGA you have to say a lot of stuff that's completely false. There can be huge consequences to that.
People look at you differently. Reporters ask questions. Friends turn away.
MAGA teaches you it's The Fake News. But it's you. What you did.

I have rewritten a toot 5 times trying to explain how my lack of income prevents me from enjoying Xmass fully.
But instead of giving you a sob story about my life, I want to tell you this...
If you have someone in your life who is struggling financially, just take them aside and let them know that you love them, and that you understand. Let them know that their value is in who they are, not how much they can buy.
Ask them what you can do to help them have a merry Xmass.
It'll mean a lot.
