The messed up thing is, if I see someone with a MAGA hat, I'd be wary of them being violent. 😬

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
