Hey, guys. I think MAGA might be… bad?
…She thinks this is a problem only just now.More rats sensing the ship is about to sink and scurrying off as fast as they can.
In a few years time, depending on what happens in the next year, you might think that the entire MAGA movement was a hallucination, as it will be next to impossible to find a single person who ever defended it, you won’t see anyone who admits to ever having a bumper sticker or flag on their lawn, they will have all up and disappeared like a fart in the wind.
We thought the same thing with Bush and the reublicans in his day, and then the Tea party happened. We thought it again with the Tea Party. Then Trump happened. I think the tiki torch guys from Charlottesville are more likely to take over the party than to slink back into the shadows.
Republican politicians aren’t leading their base into the crazy, they are holding the crazy back from the rest of us.
Uhhh. No. They think the crazies are useful idiots so they platform them and use them to get more power. Then they only disavow if it becomes politically expedient to do so.
So, not “holding back” so much as “actively garnering support for until it isn’t valuable to do so any more”

Nah. Loomer is a chronic attention seeker. She’s just saying anything that will get her name in the headlines one more time.

They’ve straight up murdered people en mass. They’ve “doubled Gitmo” with their concentration camps in Honduras and El Salvador and God only knows where. That’s not something you can just undo or walk away from.
If MAGA feels like a hallucination in another few years, it is only because of a massive cover-up by the Still Extremely Fascist media. It will be a prelude to another fascist surge and another wave of totalitarian violence.
That’s not something you can just undo or walk away from.
I don’t disagree with any of what you said, I am saying that they will absolutely try to walk away from it, from the ignorant base to the cowardly, evil grifters, pundits and politicians. And largely, it will work. Because American attention spans are shot from being overworked, overstimulated and under-nurished. This country elected Trump twice after some of the highest voter turnouts in history despite his first term being some of the lowest approval ratings of all presidents. That’s not a sign of a healthy population.
There is a systemic problem in American society, and while a lot of it is manufactured and deliberately imposed on us, we can all do a lot more to combat it. It requires a lot more involvement and a lot more effort to remind people of atrocities and problems of the past that we’re risking repeating over and over.
And I don’t mean online either. We have to get a lot more active in the physical world. Talk to people, volunteer, do phone-banking for actual leaders in your community who represent you. We’re all stuck on social media sites like this one, screaming into the void and thinking something will change or someone is coming.
Nobody is coming.
You know it’s bad when the nazi mouthpiece says there are too many nazis in the nazi party.
We need to find the guy responsible!
It seems like the thing that bothers her is that people won’t vote for Nazi’s, not that, you know, racism or genocide is a problem.
LOL, Laura Loomer:
- Says it’s not about Israel
- <Proceeds to talk a lot about Israel>
I’m thinking she is only saying this now because even if she saw all the Nazi shit before ( and seriously, how could you not?) she was willing to overlook all that as long as the GOP was sufficiently loyal to the very worst shit that Israel was up to. Now that there are a few cracks in that front, she’s now worried about all the obvious rampant Nazi shit in her party.
I think people like her, Marjorie Taylor Greene and Karoline Leavitt are starting to turn because they have inside knowledge and know that the MAGA thing is going to crack soon, presumably because either the Epstein files or Trump’s health are worse than the public knows (personally I suspect it’s the latter, because that’s the one thing Trump can’t really weasel out of) and they want to appear to have distanced themselves from the crazy before it all happened.
I’ve been saying for a while that a few years after Trump dies, you won’t be able to find anyone who claims to have supported him and I think potentially this is the beginning of that.

As the Professional Left keeps saying - “burn the lifeboats” - they just had an episode talking about how Marge seems to be the very first who is constructing that lifeboat. Just like all these fuckers did after W’s fantastic flameout.
Looks like Fuentes is also doing it, too - although it’s the darker path as compared to the made-up teabagger (their original name)/ “tea party” movement, and it involves “graduating” from “maga” to “America first” and he has hats to sell everyone, just like Donvict did…
Maga is a personality cult centered around an 80 year old man with obvious health issues.
Everyone sees the writing in the wall, like Alexander’s generals after he drank himself to death, they’ve got to carve out their own fiefdoms from the corpse of his empire.

Part of me really does wonder what all these asshole cult members and/or those vying to build their own little cult after he’s gone will do if he were to die in the WH while that stupid ballroom is still nothing but an AI-generated set of plans. What are they going to do with really egregiously out-of-touch and stupid things like Donvict’s ballroom?
They seem to have zero platform, really. It’s just trying to own the libs, enrich Donvict, strip the country for parts, enshrine corporatism and coddle the already ridiculously rich.
The other comparison the Professional Left podcast makes - and it’s more apt than ever for the Confederates - is the notion of the Nazis burning their uniforms as they fled the battlefield and lost the war.
These people are going to construct alt versions of the Republican Party, call it something else, most likely, but still run Republican Party candidates. Terms like “maga” and “America first” and “teabagger/tea party” are of course meaningless terms that can be made to stand for virtually anything.
Is her issue that there’s not enough?
The walking plastic surgery malpractice lawsuit is right about something for once
“The GOP has no moral clarity right now”
😂😂😂😂😂
No kidding
Yeah no shit the GOP is nazi
America used to know how to deal with Nazis back in the 1940s…
She’s achieving self awareness!
Its called not enough mirrors
