‘Kill the deep state!’
‘Cut the waste!’
‘Yay tariffs and trade wars!’
‘Fuck the Department of Education!’
‘Fire everyone!
‘Let the billionaire control the checkbook!’
‘Access my personal data and Social Security info!’
‘Go Elon!
‘Trump’s the BEST!’
MAGA just loves disruption. They’re downright giddy when Trump shakes shit up. They think it’s so cool to have all these billionaires controlling things now.
I mean, what could go wrong, right?
Everything. That’s what.
Just wait till the eggs are unaffordable. And when gas prices go up. And when housing costs are still through the roof. And the stock market tanks and their retirement savings crater. And when there are cuts to Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security. And when their special needs kids can’t get their school-provided therapies because the Department of Education is dead. Or when contraception is outlawed. And when their veterans services are slashed and can’t get through to the VA. Or when they loses their jobs and can’t afford to feed their kids.
Maybe then they’ll get angry.
Maybe then they’ll understand that a government led by billionaires doesn’t give a flying fuck about the working class.
Maybe then they’ll realize that there’s not even one Trump policy or executive order that negatively impacts the wealthy and corporate America. And that everything being executed right now negatively impacts only the poor, the needy, the working and middle classes.
Maybe then they’ll realize that Trump’s media missives about increasing toilet water pressure, banning paper straws, invading Greenland, colonizing Gaza etc. were simply distractions to keep MAGA from realizing how he was fucking them raw and enriching his billionaire pals.
They’re gonna have to personally feel the pain before they can rise up and rebel against the abuse they’re currently under but don’t yet realize.
Because it’s still just ‘own the libs’ Trumpfuckery.
Many people have said MAGA is a cult. And being in a cult is a form of addiction. So like other addicts, they may need to hit rock-bottom before they can get off the pipe.
But mark my words: rock-bottom is coming. It may take a year, maybe two, but we’re already seeing many Trumpers express buyers-remorse and there’s still 47 months to go.
But here’s a warning to Democrats: don’t count on the chaos and cruelty of Trump 2.0 to hand you the 2026 midterms. You need to fix your many problems, the biggest one being messaging.
You need to figure out how to talk with, and appeal to, the white working class. White women. Black and Hispanic voters. Young men. Arab-Americans. And Jews concerned about the future of Israel.
You also need to stop fixating on issues that not only divide the party, but the nation. Stop the virtual-signaling. Unite around the things that matter to most Americans: healthcare, housing, inflation, education, crime, immigration, jobs, a strong and respected America on the global stage, and personal, bodily and religious freedoms.
Get…back…to…the…fucking…basics.
