Do you know anyone who wasn't MAGA at the time use imervectin? I'm not aware of that as a non-MAGA social trend.
Otherwise, I personally go with a few of things, not only to asses a person's politics but also whether there's any potential common ground behind that haze:
(a) cultural indicators: what music/movies/food etc they enjoy.
(b) are they curious and open to new experiences? Do they write things off simply because they have not done it, or been to that place before (within reason, of course: I am not open to trying escargot, but the reason is not that I'd never had it before).
(c) do they value people who don't look like them as fellow human beings with inherent worth. This one's especially a biggie, IMO.
(d) also remember what the single biggest correlate for MAGA was back in 2026: whether the person had authoritarian tendencies. You know, things like what they value in their children the most: that they obey their parents or that they like establish their own identity.
