5. MAGA's live in the Rear Fear Lobe Brain Period! Or, maybe not all...

They know no other way. I've had a few heated arguments with my former .mil magas on my Fake Book page and other group pages. They talk loud smack when defending their Big Daddy (BD: Theory of no Fatherhood) but when I call them out to meet me at the gym on base to give them a pink set of 16 oz boxing gloves they clam up, or make diversions. One former diver, who would not meet me at the gym, told me to "come over" and see what he has. I'm willing to bet, all he had was a 9 mil pea shooter with the quiet dildo thingy that you screw on the end to make the phallic symbol a little longer. Imagine that, a child-man supposed to be a hoo yah, won't defend his manhood at the gym but want's me to come over to meet his AR-15 friend.

A fascinating thing has happened over the past few years... Several of my former magas have unfriended me, but some of the most vocal for one reason or another, keep me as a friend only to see what I'm posting contrary to their belief because they just can't help it I think?

For the most part, the older magas all suffer from FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) and fear that their Archie Bunker class is fading into the dust bin of history.

This is Old-Dog-New-Tricks Fear. It's easier for them to run with a soundbite that they heard in their hate media than it is to grasp a concept like various testing methods needed to control COVID-19.

I did see one recent maga conversion. Former maga retired co-worker has Type II diabetes, overweight, and wife has multiple conditions. He's suddenly and seriously concerned by Big Daddy want's people top return back to work so soon! Maybe he finally realizes that BD, is not really looking out for him after all. That takes frontal lobe logical thinking. So I think there's hope!
