Time for the ultimate in MAGA self reflection: border wall personality test.

That’s kind of a trick question, though, because there is already a personality test built into the concept of the wall from the very beginning.

There are three types of reactions:

  1. BUILD THE WALL! BUILD THE WALL! BUILD THE WALL!
  2. Yeah, I can kinda see your point. But have you thought about…?
  3. REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

If you’re a sane person, avoid #3 at all costs.

#2 is a dying breed, probably personified by Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report. At best, a Classical Liberal. At worst, a Moderate.

Most of us MAGAers were convinced pretty early of the rhetorical and practical utility of the wall, so #1 is pretty much a battle cry for us. See also: Ann Coulter.

 

Trump’s was such a polarizing election, it felt like picking teams for something bigger. Starting from about the debut of pizzagate in late September 2016, things got a whole lot more Real and the split between upside-down world and rightside-up world felt, for the first time, like a physical thing.

There are still a few people caught in the middle, but not very many.

If you’re still deciding, vote for The Tease wall design, because it is clearly the trolliest. And if our big beautiful metaphor can’t have at least a little troll in it..

why bother?
