Say It Out Loud: MAGA Supporters Are F****** Idiots!
Trump led them to their deaths during COVID and now hurricanes - and they follow him like lemmings scrambling over the cliff.
This image is what the average MAGidiot looks like.
Here is what I am going to say (gesture) to anyone who tells me that “Not all MAGA and Trumpists are racist or stupid.”
No. No. And one more time, in case the first two emphatic negative responses were somehow misunderstood: NO!
I have proof to back up my expert opinion. MAGA supporter’s pants are on fire. Said MAGA supporter is tied to a chair and can’t get up to extinguish the budding conflagration. MAGA supporter has to “piss like a racehorse” (by the way, do racehorses piss more than, say, the “Boxer” types from Animal Farm?), but the smoldering Trumpist refuses to piss himself to put the fire out because “the fire is fake (a Chinese conspiracy, government overreach, could alter the dummy’s gender).
Has this precise scenario ever played out? While I don’t know of one, after seeing how Trumpists were skateboarding and riding bikes yesterday in Florida at the very moment Hurricane Milton was coming ashore, I would be willing to bet a few dollars to say yes, it has happened.
What we know has happened, though, is that Trump led millions of Americans to disregard the advice of public health experts and epidemiologists to mask, maintain social distancing, and then get vaccinated during COVID. When Trump, the medical genius because his uncle was a tenured professor at MIT in the 1950s, told them to inject bleach and take de-wormer medication that is usually administered to horses and cows, Trumpists began snarfing down those thumb-sized pills like kids devouring boxes of Good & Plenty’s during the Saturday matinee.
Trump has wielded his wand of stupid and sprinkled his dummy-powder over the tens of millions of “good, God-fearing patriots” struggling to rebuild their lives after Hurricane Helene. His ignorance and hatred for his cult also resulted in tens of thousands, like my brother-in-law (Cape Coral, Florida), rejecting government pleas to evacuate. Trump and the queen of MAGA, Marjorie Taylor Greene, are working overtime to harvest all they can from these natural (but climate-change effected) disasters by going so far as to say that “Biden” is behind the curtain whipping a batch of climatic kick-ass to punish the dummy Trumpists.
“If you evacuate, the government will seize your homes and weapons! Stay put. It’s all a hoax,” they seethe with self-righteousness, all the while safe and sound thousands of miles from ground zero (and Trump was vaxxing during COVID while screaming “don’t vax”).
Imagine how this moment could have been one of those that united our country in a common cause. And yet, in a country that has been made mentally incapacitated by 28 years of Fox News propaganda — imagine, almost three decades, an alternative truth has been peddled that has turned Democrats into a fifth and enemies of our nation — Donald Trump turns everything — EVERYTHING — into a political attack.
We can’t piss standing up or sitting down — whatever your preference — without it somehow becoming a “us versus them,” proud to be a real American moment. Thanks to Trump and the extremist right-wing media machine, every moment from the second they leave their houses in the morning until safely back home doing scratch-offs and waiting for their corn dogs to heat up in the microwave has become an expression of hate, racism, and political cluelessness.
Having lived for 28 years in a post and then pseudo-authoritarian society such as Russia, I can tell that the politicization of everything is one of the most basic principles for hiding corruption and other criminal acts by leaders. If you can distract people from the here and now, from the minutiae that surrounds their daily lives, they fail to notice that nothing is whole or true but just billions of little dots, almost as if the entire world was a painting by George Seurat. By keeping everyone agitated over the imagined assault from unseen nefarious forces, anyone focusing on the corruption or incompetence of government officials supportive of the tyrant — in this case, Trump — becomes the enemy.
MAGA might be Darwinism playing out before our eyes, but add to this spectacle the power of Elon Musk’s Twitter (I will never call it X) platform with his 200 million followers — and his uncensored posts — and the right-wing media echo chamber and we may very well end up with a second Trump presidency.
If this does occur, I am asking, “From which state does the assault start to retake our nation?” Does Joe Biden disregard the results of the election and deny Trump the right to end our democracy? Does Biden declare martial law? These hurricanes, made worse by the climate change Republicans deny existing, have blown us into uncharted water, folks.
D-Day will soon be upon us.
