MAGA My Ass

Oh, Great

November 2, 2023

Just so we’re clear. The Make America Great Again crowd does not want to make America greater than it ever was. They want to make America great in the way they thought it was great in the past, but again – as the plagiarized slogan states.

MAGAts believe that America was at its best before civil rights, voting rights, women’s rights, LGBTQ rights or a social safety net. Before there were restrictions on monopolies, regulations on health, safety, the environment. It is entirely possible that they are simply too stupid to know what they believe, especially since their feckless leaders – the people they keep electing (thanks to toxic gerrymandering) to fuck everything up – don’t believe in anything except hurting poor people, helping rich people and seeing themselves on television or social media. Oh, and ending democracy in order to keep themselves in power in perpetuity and ad nauseam.

Don't MAGA On Me

As if anyone was unsure of what these yahoos want, they just installed one of the most backward-looking, radically-religious, MAGAt-y moron back-benchers as Speaker of the Fucking House. MAGA Mike Johnson is poised to shut down the government, aid and abet Russia by cutting off funding to Ukraine, and if given enough time, demand everyone in America pray to his blond, white Jesus before being permitted to leave their homes every day.

I promise you that given the option, with all other things being equal, these MAGAts would not bat an eye at the reinstatement of slavery. And this includes the likes of Supreme Court (in)justices Samuel Alito, Clarence “Uncle” Thomas and Chief (In)justice John “Racism-is-Over-in-America” Roberts.

They – and when I say they, I mean those who have conned all the rubes into believing they have their best interests in mind, when in fact they are just taking their money and enriching themselves – would like to see America become nothing more than some sort of corporate colony, where the federal government is all but powerless and everything centers around private ownership, profit and above all else suffocating greed. They want to privatize our roads, our waterways, our healthcare, prisons, and who knows what else. They want to eliminate all services for the poor, Social Security (literally and figuratively), Medicare and voting. Other than that, they are very fine people. And by that I mean they have not yet been caught eating babies (something they have been accusing others of doing), though one assumes they would like to privatize them.

I seem to remember a time even further back than what appears to be their ideal America. A time when giant corporations ruled the land like carnivorous dinosaurs (which these idiots believe co-existed with humans a few years ago). A time when a few rabble rousers talked about Common Sense, said things like, “No taxation without representation,” or “Give me liberty or give me death.” Some of them, their identities cloaked beneath Mohawk costumes, threw hundreds of chests filled with one of their most favored commodities – as I recall, it was tea – into Boston Harbor to protest the stranglehold the East India Company and the fascistic (yes, I just dropped the F-bomb) British Empire.

Give Them Stupidity, Or Give Them Death…Maybe Both

Meanwhile, today, the guy at the head of this MAGA snake has been selling this county out since the moment he pretended to take the oath of office after losing the popular vote by a landslide. Giving up national security secrets, stealing classified documents, inciting an insurrection, and being the most anti-American president in this nation’s history. He and his legion of treacherous cretins are busy throwing democracy into the sea.
