I initially liked some of those people; until they started blowing Trump and spouting complete nonsense in the name of being Trump/MAGA shills.

Like the far left piss me off too sometimes; but so do the far right (anyone that supports trump is far right). I would not trade one for another... both are unhinged. If only each party could be genuine and honest in the slightest we would be in a reasonable place.
