The real question is why they are ever portrayed in any other way.
People raised in cultures that have since gone full Redcap that resent the way people talk about Redcaps because it's too hard for them to distinguish that "those snobby city elites" are actually just talking about the Redcaps and not being generally classist.
agreed, but your comma is in the wrong place
Traditionally an ellipsis or em dash would be used to signify a pause like that, but casual writing has evolved to the point where it's not uncommon for a comma to be used instead.
The reason the media, sometimes portrays MAGAs as deranged anti-American idiots is because they are
The reason, the media sometimes portrays M.A.G.A.'s, as deranged anti-American idiots is: because; they are.
I wouldn't say much of the media does portray them that way distressingly enough

I'll be sure to heed your lesson. But, just to be clear... is it that I should do somebody else's research, or that I should get somebody else to to mine...?
And, one more clarification... Is it that I should hold an opinion but not go on to Google until I find the result supporting it, or that I should not hold an opinion and then not go on to Google to form it, or not hold an opinion and then go on to Google to confirm it... No, wait, that isn't going to work... Perhaps, hold an opinion and then go on to Google to deny it... Sounds wrong.... I know, go on to Google to hold an opinion and then deny it myself... No. Have myself as an opinion and then deny Google... Get Google to give me an opinion and then hold it?
