Serves Cassidy right, imo. Trump demands total obedience from everyone else and shows no loyalty at all in return. He's always been this way, and yet Cassidy caved and supported a drug-addled, conspiracy quack, monster for HHS Secretary that he damn well knew wasn't in any way qualified for that position. And people are going to die because of it. And what did this get him? Trump endorsing somebody else for his job. Great going, Bill!
 
This whole "paid agitators" lie is yet another symptom of Trump's all-encompassing narcissism, in which a world doesn't exist where American citizens could possibly be against his policies. In this case, "true citizens" are grateful for him sending federal agents and military into the cities to harass and murder citizens. Only the Soros-funded paid actors are the ones protesting.

And it's also nothing but the usual MAGA projection, as there have already been examples of paid right-wingers getting caught trying to stir up trouble in Minnesota and elsewhere. If Republicans are accusing Democrats and liberals of doing something, you can be damn sure they're already doing it themselves or planning to.
 
it's usually a safe assumption that men's sports coaches at the NCAA and pro levels are MAGA - the ones who aren't are usually pretty outspoken about it.
Most hoops, football, and baseball coaches are white males. It’s not a leap to assume a white male is MAGA, unless you’re at a major research university or liberal arts college at a Faculty meeting. Or, at a Friends Meeting.

It’s not just the fact that they’re white males.

Coaches are by nature authoritarian. What they say goes—and if you don’t like it, fuck you, you’re off the team. It’s the nature of the discipline. It’s militaristic without the lethal weapons.

So it makes sense that most coaches are disposed to MAGA-esque machismo.

Most NBA and college basketball coaches skew heavily democratic. There are exceptions, like Coach K, Bob Knight, Bruce Pearl, Huggy Bear, and I'd imagine also Nate Oates, the Hurleys, Doherty, -- basically any unhealthy, uptight coach -- but the vast, vast majority are going to be liberal.

I'd guess the opposite for baseball and football.
 
After we won the 2019 title, Tony Bennett declined a WH visit. He said the reason was so players could pursue professional opportunities but it was fairly clear the real reason was Trump.

Coach K is a pub, but his stance on several key issues proves (to me at least) that he is not MAGA.
