We'll call him "Kevin".
Through my online travels, I have made many connections and followed many people. In this cadre are liberals, conservatives, anarchists, libertarians, socialists, the occasional communist, and hard-right wingers. All of them interesting with something of substance to say. Sometimes I agree with their stances, and sometimes I disagree. That's where Kevin comes in.
I have been following Kevin for some time now. I'm unsure of the date, but I happened upon his account while following some other conservative types and was intrigued by what he was sharing. Kevin's full personality and thought process is on full display, and I find that refreshing.
Kevin is middle-aged and has never meaningfully left his home region, a suburban area in a "fly over" type of state. Family, steady job, internet access. He has shared a number of links to various online masters degree programs, so I might surmise that he has at least some college experience under his belt. Kevin has it all - including quite a bit of time to contribute a constant stream of content to his social media accounts.
Kevin is a re-blogger, a sharer, a re-tweeter, a re-poster. Never any original content, Kevin prefers to share what has come across his feeds. And that's completely fine. In fact, it's part of what makes him such a MAGA typical. He lives his life completely in a confirmation bias echo chamber. And it's an entertaining one at that.
So buckle-up for a delve into this MAGA mind. I promise you it won't disappoint.
