alt Hacker News> You say "openly MAGA" as if it were a crime or something to be ashamed of
Can you explain why it's not something to be ashamed of?

There is nothing to be ashamed of to support your country.
I'm not American, but I don't see anything shameful about the fact that some people want to put their country of origin before the interests of other countries. I know I'd rather my politicians take care of my country first.
That isn't inherently against compassionate care for the rest of humanity. It just means that a government's primary responsibility is to its own citizens and, given that resources are finite, I would prefer my elected officials to secure more of them for our region when possible.
Whether Trump's approach is flawed is certainly up for debate (he's definitely insane and a tyrant), but efforts to "Make America Great Again" are not inherently bad.
(I'm actually from one of the countries targeted by ICE, btw. I'll just be respectful enough not to go to your country uninvited.)
I'm not american but I see technically nothing wrong with MAGA for me. it doesn't mean you must be transphobe or homophobe etc. but what people do under MAGA is another thing. sometimes it feels like for them it means "run america into the ground" or "get rid of all the best about america".
