In all of my comments about Trump and his loyal MAGA base, I never expected to win over the died-in-the-wool adherents of Trump’s autocratic moves. These are treac erous people who frequently lack feelings of shame and guilt for their capitulation to undermine 250 years of constitutional democracy.
They take pleasure in agitating what they refer to as the “woke” crowd and some may in fact relish the opportunity to have an autocratic strongman in power, though Trump in his ever debilitated state, is far from a strong man, physically and mentally. You will find many of them who have lifted up the proclaimed man of God, Charlie Kirk, for his small-minded and hateful words expressed before his senseless assassination in September. (1)
What I’m left with is akin to Gavin Newsome’s mockery style (2) of people who seek only to gain more power and enrich themselves at the expense of millions of low and middle income families, in red states as well as blue ones, conservatives as well as independents and liberals. They are as much silly as they are threatening. So hereafter I will point out how silly these wanna be authoritarians are and hope that the threat they pose to the rule of law will become self-evident.
They started silly with declaring that the 2020 elections were stolen from them, in light of all the hard evidence to the contrary (3). And even though Marjorie Taylor Green, aka MTG, recently sided with Democrats about keeping insurance prices stable, she will forever be remembered as the looney-toon that claimed “'Jewish Space Lasers' Caused California Wildfires”. (4)
That’s as far as I want to go in the near past on this subject. The pages that such silliness would consume would be voluminous, and would merely serve as a non-narcotic sleep aid. So let’s just have ourselves a good laugh with the most recent absurdities.
Trump’s insane deportation policy has been randomly deporting people who do not fit his “worst criminals” scenario. (5) Recently , after railing against Biden’s end to the Afghanistan war and leaving behind those Afghans who were U.S. assets, Trump’s administration is now dismantling programs created to assist Afghan allies, where American-friendly Afghan’s seeking asylum are now being deported back to a government that will surely execute them on their return (6) Your first inclination may be to laugh before shaking your head in outraged bewilderment.
Then there’s the wild-eyed claims made about Independent candidate for New York mayor, Zohran Mamdani, who has been accused of “wanting to enforce Shariah law” by MTG and Laura Loomer who said Mamdani is “literally supported by terrorists. NYC is about to see 9/11 2.0.” (7)
We can’t leave the vice-president out of this joke circus. J.D. Vance thinks the Democrats shouldn’t be so easily offended by his words (8) but doesn’t think this applies to his angry, vengeful boss, who says Democrats are evil and enemies of the state. (9)
Lastly there was Pete Hegseth’s embarrassing diatribe before the military’s highest ranking officers, many who faced combat conditions over their decades of service, arrogantly presuming they lacked a true “warrior ethos”. (10) As a combat Marine Corps veteran, I couldn’t help but chuckle at his attempt to disparage other warriors as if they were less than he was. He showed a lack of esprit de corps who apparently held higher esteem for the draft dodger and man who once said that those who died in service were losers and suckers. (11)
This ludicrous behavior is that of the loser/bully type who when finally bested with facts over their inane assertions resort to words that are only meant to distract from their failure with truth such as "your mother wears army boots." Childish in nature, it is the only reaction left to people who have yet to mature mentally and who desperately gravitate towards their loser peers.
Stay tuned for more silliness from those who assure us that the convicted felon and rapist was anointed by God, despite the fact that he is the antithesis of Jesus. (12)
