Trump Supporters Sadly Just Aren't Assimilating Into American Culture
Are they just too militant and different for our melting pot?
Donald Trump’s biggest MAGA fans are increasingly refusing to assimilate into America’s culture of tolerance and diversity, and are choosing instead to keep to their insularly extremist customs of ethno-nationalist radicalism.
“I don’t want to say ‘these people,’ but I can’t help but notice that Trump supporters are not sharing our values,” explained Mark Trail, 49. “They yell at minorities in grocery stores and on the street, their number of hate crimes are on the rise, they’re stockpiling arms to prepare for another potential civil war, and they just plain have hate in their hearts for America. They don’t want the same kinds of things that real Americans want. They want things like discrimination and disrespect against women, the deportation of Muslims and Hispanic people, Christian fundamentalism, and a totalitarian executive branch of our government. Maybe they’re unfamiliar with how our government works, but the things they want to see in our democracy just go against our values and history. I hate how it sounds as if I don’t think Trump supporters are welcome here, but I wish they would adapt more to our culture. If they’re going to live here, couldn’t they try to be a little more like us? Maybe they could be less extremist about their beliefs, you know? They really need to adopt more of our cultural norms if they’re gonna stay here long-term, and stop talking about culture wars. I’m worried that, if they keep having kids and raising them with such radical ideologies, it’ll only be a generation or two before I don’t even recognize America anymore.”
Other citizens expressed discomfort with MAGA fans’ clothing customs.
“Those bright red MAGA hats just make me worry every time I see one,” said Sarah Heller, 55. “I don’t understand why they would cover themselves that way with that kind of oppressive, abrasive and cultish symbolism. And what’s the deal with all this QAnon stuff? It seems so fundamentalist the way they follow their prophet blindly. I wish they’d stop trying to make us all live according to their Q-ria Law. That’s just not how we do things here in America. Do they have to throw their foreignness in our faces? It’s like, are they going to commit a hate crime or insurrection right in front of me? And from the way they view the world, I can tell they don’t care much for our civic principles and tradition. I don’t think they understand or appreciate our Constitution and laws. I worry they’re not fully loyal to our country. The way they take photos of themselves in the beds of their trucks with those flags on them holding their religious books and guns is very upsetting. I’m worried they might be trying to subvert us from within. I mean, you can’t help but notice that they’re very pushy about their beliefs, and they refuse to abide by our election laws, and of course they’re raising their kids to hate our president and country and democracy. This is an issue that will last for generations. I know America is a great melting pot, but I’m afraid they might just be too different to blend in!”

I've been saying for a long time his cult needs Reeducation Camps to learn how to be Real Americans. They could use food for rewards and starvation for bad behavior.
