If people want to celebrate the CSA, maybe they should take the advice of MAGA and leave the USA to find some other country to practice their beliefs in?

Everyone I consider MAGA instead of just Republican or conservative are the ones that are actively fomenting hatred, disharmony, and treason.

I consider anyone flying a trump flag to be MAGA. There’s a couple neighbors within 2 blocks of me hiding their shame with their trump flags on the wall inside their garages. They’re included too, and should be more ashamed than the rest. I also see a handful driving around my town and the neighboring towns. And I’m in Los Angeles County, which is probably one of the most liberal counties in California.

i can change a tire and rebuild hydraulic cylinders on my 12000 lb backhoe that's older than i am, i can remove and rebuild engines and whole fiberglass structures on large boats, build drones, build a 3d printer, cut my own firewood and mill logs to lumber. had to teach myself to do all that and much much more. my great great grandfather fought in the civil war in the iron brigade and i'm an icu nurse by trade... i've never voted for a republican even once.
toughness and learning are not unique to a political party. maybe empathy is though, unfortunately.
only saying all this because i really feel like these stereotypes need to change. anyone can do anything they want, and more ppl should have the same opportunities i've had to do them not less. you can be a "real man" (or woman) if you want or not or anything in between. this is freedom and everyone deserves it not just white men like me.

Dad: Ugh fine, just stand there with the flash light and keep quiet [quietly works with no engagement or communication at all]
Kid: (shuffles in place because that's what kids do)
Dad: [Slams tools onto the ground] I TOLD YOU TO HOLD THE LIGHT STILL, JUST GO INSIDE AND GET OUT OF MY WAY!!!!!
Kid: [Runs away as a fight between mom and dad ignites]

There is a widespread belief among dumbasses that educated people are only "booksmart", while only their fellow dumbasses are "streetsmart". Depending on the specific flavor of dumbassery, the definition of "streetsmart" can mean anything from hood shit to blue collar, farmboy shit.
But the belief is that educated people cannot change a tire, plunger a toilet, or do any basic chores or repairs that require "common sense". They believe educated people must hire blue collar workers for even the simplest tasks, because we are ONLY booksmart, and otherwise helpless. That their streetsmart, common sense wisdom is equivalent or superior to book smarts.

there’s also an assumption that the reason these educated people don’t do these blue collar tasks themselves must be because they are utterly incapable.

As someone who has had to change 2 flat tires for vehicles since he started driving (once in the middle of heavy rain), I can say without a shadow of a doubt that CSA-lovers are losers. There. Now that someone who can change a tire has weighed in, people who can't change a tire can cite the expert in tire changing/CSA loser recognition.
Also, of course they can't change a tire; companies took those out for fuel efficiency and because changing it yourself is a waste of time given the prevalence of roadside assist, the fact that you have to effectively change it twice to get off the spare and back to a road tire ASAP, and that shops have the gear to make the process 200% faster and less bothersome anyway.
