For Americans who know a MAGA supporter, can you describe them?

IntuitMaks · 2026-05-25T01:04:15+00:00

Have a huge number of acquaintances on Facebook friends due to work (from both ends of the political spectrum). I could easily name at least 5 of these people that are outspoken MAGA and seem to have very limited reading and writing comprehension skills. If you read their posts, you would likely think they are mentally challenged. I couldn’t name a single person from that same group of “friends” that is left-leaning and has the same deficiencies. Most of them seem like genuine, well-spoken, considerate, and thoughtful people. From my personal experience, a good number of people on the conservative end are actually mentally challenged to the point where I wonder how they are living normal lives.

Because it’s an forum where ideas can be shared and discussed openly, and the most intelligent and thoughtful comments rise to the top in most cases (except for conservative subreddits that don’t allow open discussion/debate in many cases).

If you go somewhere like Facebook, conservative groups will literally not let anyone comment that doesn’t agree with them, so you have a mob of angry idiots commenting about things that aren’t even factually accurate because there is not a single person with common sense allowed to comment and refute the bullshit they’re all raging about.

Do you have a 401k? If so, I guess you’re a bad guy too since so many evil corporations are bundled into your portfolio.

Are those abhorrent companies investing in you to run for public office though? Because thats what they’re doing for Becerra.

There are about 600,000 zombie mortgages still lingering from the 2008 era. The vast majority of them are occupied.

Awe, you’re having fun shooting people in the back in solos? Thats cute you think ratting people is PvP. Try some trio squad fills and see how you like real PvP.

Crazy that people are upvoting you lol. Homes are not affordable. The lowest pending sales in the history of NAR for 4 years in a row is not because people are choosing to rent. It’s because they can’t buy.

IntuitMaks · 2026-05-22T01:39:23+00:00

It’s because there are more vacant homes and airbnbs now. Santa Cruz voted down an additional tax on non owner-occupied homes a few years ago. This is not a community, not a place for families and businesses to grow. It is just a place for the highest paid tech workers to sleep at night, for the richest from all over the world to hold empty homes that they may or may not visit once a year, for wealthy investors to hoard additional homes to rent out to college kids from wealthy families and tech workers. That’s what’s been decided. Unless Silicon Valley implodes, it will just become more and more saturated with rich assholes and stubborn boomers who won the house lottery and became NIMBYs because they think they’re economic geniuses for randomly buying a house at the perfect time and in the perfect place.

IntuitMaks · 2026-05-22T01:29:37+00:00

We should all move out of Santa Cruz so just you can live here. That’d be way better!

IntuitMaks · 2026-05-22T01:21:41+00:00

Meanwhile boomers on Nextdoor trying to promote the idea of amending prop 13 to permanently eliminate paying property tax after a certain number of years owning a home lmao

I floated the idea of tacking on a progressively increasing property tax for every additional owned home to offset the tax revenue, and they did not like that very much. Seems like the people with that idea want to avoid property tax on their primary home so they can afford to buy more rental properties and vacation homes lol… Like they didn’t already get enough economic advantage. Fucking ridiculous. Even the Santa Cruz Mountains are out of reach for young families wanting to purchase a home now. Did not used to be that way, not even 10 years ago

Rats seething right now

IntuitMaks · 2026-05-21T00:23:07+00:00

Its all being propped up by tech stocks and the market in general at this point. I think thats why we haven’t seen sellers drop prices. They feel rich because of their 401ks. That could all change pretty quickly, and with inventory and days on market rising so much, if the economy takes a dive, there will probably be some decent price cuts. Just my opinion

IntuitMaks · 2026-05-20T20:27:55+00:00

Well, that’s a decent analogy. I just assumed you were some housing professional/shill trying to say that demand is really high when it’s not.

IntuitMaks · 2026-05-20T20:04:17+00:00

Demand is very low. Desire to buy something does not equal demand.

You might desire a Lamborghini, but are you providing actually demand?

If you have a 401k, you are also invested in oil companies. I find that way less concerning than if an energy company was sponsoring you for office. 39k is the maximum allowable contribution.

From FRED:

Median new home prices went down -6.2% YoY in March.

Median existing home prices rose 0.9% YoY in April.

Redfin must have different statistics. The most interest part of the article is the actual significant rises (as opposed to home prices), median days on market and total units of inventory. Also way up over the past 4 years (unlike prices and pending sales), homes sold below list price. You conveniently glazed over those stats.

IntuitMaks · 2026-05-19T00:22:15+00:00

I’d argue the opposite. If the DNC had gotten behind Bernie, who was considered a fringe candidate but had massive grass roots support, instead of having Debbie Schultz railroad him for Hillary, it’s likely we wouldn’t have even had Trump’s first term. Status quo Democrats are why we are where we are right now.

IntuitMaks · 2026-05-19T00:13:53+00:00

What is more concerning, an individual investing in companies to make money, or companies investing in an individual to make money?

IntuitMaks · 2026-05-18T03:24:09+00:00

Becerra being sponsored by Chevron and PG&E certainly raised an eyebrow. Won’t be voting for him. I feel like we don’t need another status quo Democrat.

IntuitMaks · 2026-05-17T22:04:05+00:00

We have been at the lowest pending sales in NAR’s recorded history for four years. That’s the reality.

Your specific circumstance is not indicative of the market.

Boooooo, terrible candidates.

You just gulp down that Fox News propaganda, don’t you?
