MAGA, unless you’re rich, your life isn’t going to fundamentally get better. What you did was make the lives harder for all the people he convinced you to fear and hate, many of which you didn’t 8 years ago.
It's not just that Trump won. It's that Joe Rogan, Dana White and Brett Favre won. Jailed insurrectionists won. The Alitos and the Thomases won. Vladimir Putin won. Racism won. Misogyny won. Sexism won. Global warming won. Xenophobia won. Most of all: Fear Won. That's what hurts.
Trump winning was a team effort brought to us by:
1. Corporate media normalizing Trump
2. Merrick Garland's failure to swiftly prosecute Trump
3. Trump's oligarchs like Elon Musk
4. The depravity of the GOP as a party
5. Sexism and racism.
When I would teach my students about how civically illiterate and disengaged Americans are from self government I used to tell them “but it’s only because we live in a country so well run they can completely tune out the govt.”
That’s about to change, big time.
@BlondeMAGAinNJ I was looking forward to dunking on you after the election. But given the outcome, I’m obliged to say well played. I disagree with most of your politics, but you worked your ass off on here.
“ A little patience, and we shall see the reign of witches pass over, their spells dissolve, and the people, recovering their true sight, restore their government to its true principles,” — Thomas Jefferson, who was a good deal more hopeful than I’m feeling this a.m. TBH.
LETS GET SOMETHING STRAIGHT.
The American People voted to absolutely make sure LOADS of people would die at Trumps hands.
- Their daughters, their wives, children & their fellow citizens will die from school shootings, pregnancy & easily cured diseases.
-It’s free hunting season for blacks with immunity for white cops.
- Muslims & Latinos will DEFINITELY die in mass deportation roundups/camps.
- Gaza will be bulldozed if not ethnically cleansed.
- Iranians who want democracy will die.
- Ukrainians are dying in droves already.
If you think your family is immune from Trumps dementia & chaos that is coming? Did you forget about Covid?
So when Trump fires all non-partisan career professionals in government, replaces them with radical loyalists within every nook and cranny of the US government, and adds radical judges everywhere.
And every one of you that voted for him finally wake up from your fucked up fantasy just like the folks that woke up after 4 years of the last shit show, only to realize it’s much much worse, and much more permanent, this time.
When the cancer you caused has infected every bit of the American system and it can’t be unwound for a lifetime.
What then?
Do you beg this country for forgiveness for choosing fascism because you were conned into believing your eggs are too expensive because of Joe Biden?
You just put Steve Bannon in charge of American policy.
You just put Michael Flynn in charge of our military.
You just put Alex Jones in charge of media and propaganda.
You just put Stephen Miller in charge of immigration policy.
You just put batshit crazy RFK Jr. in charge of health policy.
You just killed free public education and privatized schools, which you will have to pay for.
You just sealed the deal on a national abortion ban, because you’re demented if you think it’s not coming.
You just radicalized the Supreme Court for a generation.
You just made women less safe and less free.
You just made this country an oligarchy with the billionaires quite literally in charge now.
You just put in office the one person that believes a president is a king, with the fucking Supreme Court ruling to prove it in his back pocket!
You just ushered in Fascism.
Because your cereal costs more.
Congratulations.
The thing about leopards is eventually they will eat you too.
Your favorite local restaurant closing because the nice family who owns it getting deported. You thought they were some of the “good ones.” The price of produce skyrocketing even before the camps are built as immigrants flee. Your daughter dying of sepsis because the lawyers feel it’s too risky to perform that D&C.
No more FAFSA for your kids college because you didn’t know that was part of the Department of Education. Veterans having their benefits cut because they rolled back the PACT Act as too expensive. That factory in town that was going to build chips and employ your kids never breaking ground because of the repeal of the CHIPs act. The bridge that was going to cut your commute in half being canceled because of the repeal of the Infrastructure Act.
That sweet government job that you’ve loved because you can work 8 hours a day and fish on the weekends has been slated for a MAGA Schedule F slot because it controls funding for contracts that will go to Republican donors, so you’re fired without cause or any union protections.
You’ll blame Biden or the local Democrats probably. But it will be fine because Elon promised it would be uncomfortable at first but it will get better. You were just so sure it would be uncomfortable for…you know…”those people.” Not you.
But that’s leopards for you. They eat whatever is available.
Again, early WI trend lines are Harris gains in suburbs and Trump gains in rural and small counties, which is exactly what you'd expect. that doesn't tell us yet which trend will be more powerful.
Russians trying to help Trump with bomb threats aimed at majority Black polling places… this is what MAGA is. Profoundly un-American, anti-freedom, and hostile to human rights.
Today, this 94 year old Korean War veteran (and lifelong Republican) hobbled into the voting booth, crossed party lines and voted for democracy. The very same democracy he fought for 75 years ago. Thank you, Dad! ❤️ You’ve always been my hero!
@mchooyah Rob, after your 16 yrs service to the country, you’re entitled to come out of the closet in any way you want, and you deserve to fuck as many twinks as you can find on your Grindr app.
We won’t judge you. Go get ‘em, girl!
Two things
1. Trump can’t break 25% in the rest of the European democracies because their citizens actually consume news.
2. The former Soviet bloc countries don’t seem to grasp that Trump plans to return them to Putin.
