Because everything just seems so depressing.

And it's all ironic because then you have the admin posting things like MAGA is 100% behind Donald Trump.

Trump has a 100% approval rating with MAGA.

And that's kind of why I was asking you guys that question at the beginning because it's like, okay, then what actually is MAGA now?

because I have like 10 MAGA hats, I would have considered myself MAGA, but I'm not giving Trump a 100% approval rating personally.

Maybe you guys are, I personally am not.

Like who actually identifies with that anymore?

And I'm not saying that in like a rhetorical way of like who could identify, but like actually who is that base?

Because the last time I checked, Trump said that MAGA was just the people who always agreed with it, based on Truth Social posts, so I don't even know what to think anymore.

So yeah, I would say that this whole weekend, watching it unfold on social media was disheartening, but also not completely surprising.

Like, I am not shocked at all that most of these speakers were speaking to empty chairs.

And honestly, I kind of feel like a total buffoon.

I don't know if that's the right word to say.

Maybe it's just that I think it's ironic because literally this time last year, like March and February of last year, I was making all of these videos about how the left was having this massive crisis, an authenticity crisis.

They didn't have a leader.

They had no positivity.

There was no unity, which was why they failed in 2024.

And that kind of unity and genuine joy, not the fake Kamala joy, but the genuine joy is what, in my opinion, like emotionally pushed Trump over the finish line for so many voters in 2024.

And then a year later, here I am feeling demoralized and disheartened watching CPAC unfold online, looking like a red, white, and blue Barbie Dreamfest.

Meanwhile, at the exact same time, this is what the No Kings protests looked like across America.
