I don't believe that it will shame them so much as make them fully aware of how socially unacceptable those beliefs are. They are hypocrites, they'll just hide their MAGA beliefs, and that's about the best we can hope for. At least they aren't able to influence society to any great degree.

It would be comparable to the KKK. They might meet in full dress in Gene's basement (on accounta he's got a high ceiling for a basement, and the hats fit, and everybody knows wearing the hat is the fun part), but they aren't getting elected to the school board and demanding that kids read the Bible in school.

Making them crawl back under their slimy rock is good enough for now, as long as we stay vigilant, and taze them whenever they try to slither back out.

Oh, and BTW, I won't work with a MAGA, but I'll accept work from MAGAs all day long, and they will get my very best work, I promise that. I will accept money from anyone, without question, but I won't give money to just anyone.

I will also talk stank behind that client's back. Fuck them, the filthy MAGAs.
