Today it's MAGA supporters, tomorrow it's moderates and then it continues to move the left and the right. The article mentions identifying him by that very means and frankly? That's not a very good place to be.

We should all remember Martin Niemöller's quote - First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

He’s not being called out for supporting Trump. His donation was merely used to confirm that he’s employed by Allegiant. He’s being targeted right now for his affiliation with a violent extremist group not because he supports MAGA.
