Do you need to have someone accompanying you as a witness when you go out anywhere? I don't believe these Maga people were fooled, or are so stupid to be deceived, I think they're as big on lying as trump & the gop is. That's what they are/do, every bit as much as those they support.

I feel like Dems in deep red states, in ultra MAGA counties, have a unique perspective on this. Most of us have been fighting an uphill battle our entire lives. That's not an exaggeration literally 40+ years. We have skin in the game.
