Being maga is diametrically opposed to supporting your country, as we've seen in particular this time around, but was also clearly visible in 2016-2020.

Rampant abuse of the legal system to target individuals, despite claiming (without evidence) that that was that the Democrats did against them

Total disregard for the constitution

Threats towards the judiciary

A million other things that I can list - but I'm sure you've heard them all and just don't care, so there's probably not much use in me continuing.

> would he be remembered anywhere as well? You underestimate how popular Walker, Texas Ranger was. It wasn't pulling ratings like Seinfeld, ER, or Friends, but it was a solid primetime staple for almost a decade. I never watched it myself, but the 50+ demo loved it.

Maybe for people in the US. Internationally? I haven't watched a single episode of WTR, I don't know anyone who has, but everyone knows who Chuck Norris was.

Seinfeld wasn't at all well known in Italy when I lived there, but WTR was.

The expendables had a scene that was basically the meme in live action, highly recommend. It’s all over YouTube.

That scene makes the movie one of the few 10/10 movies in my opinion. It's perfect for the target audience.

Seeing my dad, who grew up on these actors' action flicks, laugh himself to tears when Chuck Norris appears is one of my favourite memories.

He was openly maga and a homophobe and a transphobe. I wouldn’t consider these qualities for a role model.

That's some grade AAA ignorance hard at work. Or did you mean supporting Israel?

Indeed. And supporting MAGA is supporting the destruction of your country.

I did something similar when Microsoft gave away Windows Phones for every app published on the app store. I used the Chuck Norris API though. The one I used is sadly no longer available (I think it was called CNDB). But there's a new one: https://api.chucknorris.io

To believe in "Make America Great Again" you have to believe that America is not great, and this implies you are ashamed of your country. Shame is built in to MAGA.
