I monitor MAGA for a living.
All day, every day they’re talking about rounding up “leftists” (any liberal), prosecuting DOJ and FBI officials, shutting down “legacy” media and purging the government to install loyalists but don’t you dare call them fascists.

Sorry MSNBC, but don’t be surprised by the mass exodus (38% decline) of your viewers since the election. I used to watch your network when you provided a progressive counterpoint to Fox. But when you minimized negative news coverage of Trump and amplified it for Harris, you lost me.
