MAGA melts down at Tom Hanks playing Trump fan on SNL50
Conservatives lashed out online at the appearance of Hanks’ recurring Trump-loving character.
Summary
Tom Hanks reprised his 2016 "MAGA" character, Doug, on Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary episode, sparking backlash from Trump supporters.
The sketch, Black Jeopardy!, featured Doug again hesitating to shake hands with a Black host.
Conservative commentators criticized the portrayal as outdated and offensive, calling it an unfair caricature of Trump voters.

Hollywood still doesn’t get it: Portraying Trump supporters as racist caricatures while he’s winning record minority support.
This is an important point, though. Trump's win was in part because of successful propagandizing and winning a ton more minority votes than in 2020.
Trump got less votes, the problem was how many people didn't vote at all.
Both can be true. Minority blocs helped though. For example:
