“I felt like, being in conservative politics, there would be more, like, masculine men in the conservative movement,” Housley says, “and I find that a lot of them aren’t as masculine as I would have hoped.”

Instead, many of the single MAGA men she’s seen are … “Not fit, workaholics and not taking finding a wife seriously,” Housley says.

If she had it her way, she would be married and expecting her first kid. She says a lot of her colleagues at the American Principles Project, a conservative advocacy group whose website says “in order to save America — we have to save the family,” are settling down and having children. But it’s rough out there.

Newly arrived MAGA singles face a percentage problem: 92.5 percent of the city voted for Kamala Harris in last year’s presidential election.

A perfect moment of discovering the discrepancy between MAGA ideology on "paper" and in reality.

The article is a fun read.

Even MAGAs have student loans, and they are a major reason that people are avoiding marriage. Nobody wants to get married and double their student loan debt.

Worse, what if you didn't have student loan debt, and you were considering marrying someone with tens of thousands of student loan debt. Would you still marry them, and make that debt yours? Or maybe just live together, and not officially take on that debt?

It's also not even in the same galaxy as 'Leopards Ate My Face'.

There are countless places to post generic 'let's mock MAGA being on the receiving end of anything negative', themed communities don't need to get polluted with it too.

I was initially going to write something about that. It's not your bog standard cliché LAMF, that's for sure. It's more complex. And that's a plus in my book.

Whichever way you cut it though, it's definitely in the same galaxy (or neighborhood, to take it down a few notches).
