I write about culture, politics and human behavior in the age of algorithms and digital nonsense seeking problems that don't exist.
Time for MAGA to once again open up their playbook: Ignore, insult, deflect blame, blame others, and say the critics are overreacting. And when the critics point out that the warning signs and assessment of danger were accurate, simply repeat. And, of course, don't forget to blame antifa.

We can instill confidence that elections are run well, except for the fact that the president has lied about election fraud since mid-2020 — six months before his armed supporters attempted to stop the certification of the 2020 election, which Trump lost. If he'd just shut up...

Someone please explain the value of alienating our democracy-loving friends, while getting cozy with Sharia Law-loving autocrats in the Mid East? I thought the MAGA culture war was about saving Western Civilization...so we're bolstering Russia and screwing over Europe, Ukraine and NATO?

For my kid, I'd trust drag queen story time over a play date at a billionaire's house any day. I don't necessarily see the value in a man in drag reading to children, but at least there's reading going on...and no danger of sexual assault.

Just like his supporters, and the teachings of Jesus.

Sounds like they "graduated" from Trump University.

Many parallels to things I saw, heard about, or knew about historically when traveling in foreign countries. I would say to myself that I was glad to be an American. Today, the venality of Trump threatens that from every direction. He literally rules like he wants the USA to be a shit hole country.

And, pray tell, why exactly do those people believe the moon is made of blue cheese? Could it have something to do with the man that lied for six months straight, leading up to an election and subsequent riot at the Capitol? No facts need apply.

Well, if he's the leader of antifa, show us the video footage of him storming the Capitol on January 6, 2021.

And therefore, their god can not possibly, by definition, actually be Christian.
February 3, 2026 at 5:22 AM
Sure. Memes quote deportations under Obama and Biden—but they're beside the point. What's critical is that our eyes are not lying to us—Trump is. ICE uses indiscriminate violence, terrorizes citizens, and abducts preschool children. Cruelty, civil rights violations, and no due process. That's MAGA.

Those AI chips are going to be used to enforce Sharia Law in the UAE. Sounds like evangelicals might want to reconsider their delusion that Trump was appointed and anointed by the Christian god.

Good for them Fox News viewers don't independently look up actual federal Bureau of Justice statistics...otherwise, they could no long stomach Fox's blatant scapegoating of illegal immigrants for violent crime.

And we are not to call pedophiles pedophiles, or sexual assailants sexual assailants, or violent goons insurrectionists, or liars liars, or lies lies, or propaganda propaganda. Big Brother will tweet something bigly and nonsensical, and MAGA will salute. A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

Wow. It's as if they don't even understand that the Pizzagate gunman, Proud Boys, white nationalists, protected sexual predators, tech billionaires addicting teens with digital dope, and farcically hypocritical evangelical Christians are all in their corner...with hopes and prayers for everybody.

Please hold these contemptuous, immoral jackasses of middling intellect to account for their sins against our country.
