Trump, Musk, and MAGA are intent on owning the Libs. Unfortunately, most of the cuts to Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, and SNAP will affect MAGA, rural America, and their employment more than the Libs.

Summary
The MAGA movement, driven by its obsession with “owning the libs,” is backfiring spectacularly. Instead of harming progressives, Trump and Musk’s cuts to essential government agencies like NOAA and FEMA are disproportionately hurting their own voters in red states. From slashing disaster preparedness to undermining Medicaid and imposing job-killing tariffs, their policies have left rural America more vulnerable. While Trump and his allies claim to fight for working-class conservatives, their actions prove that their real priority is dismantling government at any cost—even if it devastates their own supporters.
Key Takeaways
- NOAA and FEMA Cuts – Trump’s attack on federal disaster agencies weakens weather forecasting and emergency response, disproportionately harming red states affected by natural disasters.
- Medicaid Rollbacks – Deep cuts to Medicaid threaten healthcare for millions, especially in MAGA strongholds like Kentucky and West Virginia.
- Job-Killing Tariffs – Trump’s tariffs hurt American farmers and manufacturers, with economic losses concentrated in conservative rural areas.
- Social Safety Net Attacks – Efforts to gut the Inflation Reduction Act and Social Security would devastate Republican voters who rely on these programs the most.
- The Ultimate Self-Own – MAGA policies, designed to punish progressives, are instead leaving their own voters worse off, exposing the contradictions of right-wing governance.
Trump and Musk’s reckless crusade against government institutions isn’t hurting the “coastal elites” they claim to target—it’s devastating their own supporters. The GOP’s war on essential services, economic security, and disaster relief is a direct attack on working-class Americans in red states. If progressives can effectively expose this reality, they have an opportunity to turn disillusioned voters against the very movement that is failing them.
