    I don’t know if it’s true, but I wish it were.

    However, some of the more annoying Bernie Bros were there to sow division, not because they liked the ideas necessarily. I personally know multiple supporters that have MAGA flags now.

    It’s kinda similar to how Dems “backed” Trump in the 2016 primaries because they thought he’d be easier to beat in the general.

      I cannot beleive you know several who supported Bernie could be flying a maga flag now. It sounds like you just happen to know a group of lying maga jerks. You claim you “know them personally”. How did you end up as close personal friends with a bunch of maga jerks? I dont know a single one except an uncle the family openly jokes about. They say if you want to know who you are, look at yiur friends. You’re the average of your friends.

        I’m not close friends, but I work in the automotive industry/trades, which unfortunately has some real idiots (not all by any means), but also smart real assholes.

        Also I’m in an important primary state, where independents can vote for either side to influence nominations. It happens all the fucking time here.
