And if you support this man, you are also supporting and implementing EVIL. It’s not a question of politics; it’s not a question of personal preference, like which style of deodorant you prefer, it’s a matter of basic moral values.
If you are supporting this man, you are supporting naked, unrestrained Evil.
This is why, for many Democrats, they can’t be friends with MAGAs.
This issue is simple. Do we hate him?
Fuck yes.
But the part that MAGAs ignore is why.
Donald Trump is a criminal. He’s a convicted Felon.
Even if you don’t agree that the charges should have been a felony with an extension of the statute of limitations, he was still found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Even if the charges were only a misdemeanor, he’s still a convict.
Donald Trump was sued for Discrimination twice and lost. Donald Trump was sued and found liable for stealing money from his own charity and spending it on his court fees and giant pictures of himself. Donald Trump was found to be running a bogus "University" that was merely a grift to line his own pockets.
Donald Trump was found liable for sexual assault. Donald Trump has bragged about committing sexual assault; he said if Ivanka wasn’t his daughter, he’d be dating her. He cheated on his first wife with a blonde bombshell, then cheated on his second wife with another blonde bombshell who he made his third wife, then he cheated on her with a blonde bombshell playboy playmate, then he cheated on the playmate with a blonde bombshell porn star.
Donald Trump has been credibly accused of raping a child, multiple times, by reports, interviews and complaint forms within the Epstein files, and interviews in a BBC documentary.
Donald Trump illegally stole classified material and then violated national security by showing it off to GOP donors and Foreign Busines men — for FUN! He hid these documents in his ballroom and a bathroom, then conspired to have his attorney lie to the National Archives and try to flim-flam the FBI about them, in defiance of a subpoena.
Donald Trump knowingly lied about the 2020 election, and we know this because, behind closed doors, he said “Can you believe I lost to this guy [Biden].” Then he staged a campaign of lies to convince millions of Americans that the election was stolen, and implemented a six-step plan written by John Eastman to steal the electoral college vote. Conservative members of Congress were briefed on this plan at the White House. And when his VP Mike Pence refused to implement that plan, he gathered a mob of his followers and sent them to the Capital after saying “You gotta fight like hell, or you won’t have a country anymore.” and after Rudy Giuliani said “Let’s have trial by combat,” in order to have then storm the Capitol and get the Secret Service to pull Pence out of the buidling and therefor let Chuck Grassley implement his plan to stay in the White House. He only failed because Pence wouldn’t leave.
Donald Trump deliberately confused people over the credibility of the government, the FDA, the CDC, and the efficacy of vaccines during the middle of a global pandemic by promoting crackpot solutions such as Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine, and injecting Bleach into your lungs with UV lights under your skin. All of which arguably led to the deaths of 200-400,000 Americans who refused to be vaccinated to prevent dying from Covid-19.
Donald Trump has ended our implementation of asylum, which violates our international legal requirements to provide sanctuary relief to refugees. He’s also implemented a racist domestic terror campaign of masked jack-booted government thugs who have snatched up and kidnapped people because of their ethnicity by the tens of thousands without reasonable suspicion, without probable cause, and without a judicial warrant and then held them in ad hoc concentration camps and foreign death camps without proper facilities or medical care, without a bond hearing, without any legal charges against them, without judicial review, due process, or a final deportation order. They’ve claimed they’ve done this to “remove criminals,” yet estimates are that greater than 70% of the people they have disappeared in this manner have not been convicted of any crime and do not have any pending charges — including 8 usc 1325 “illegal entry” — against them. They’ve taken asylum seekers, people trying to correct their immigration status by going to court, people trying to follow procedures to acquire a visa, a green card, or even attend their citizenship hearings. This is in no way about “criminals.” Dozens of people have already died in custody and over a half dozen American Citizens and legal immigrants have been shot down, murdered, and left to freeze to death in the streets by this vicious gang of bigoted Confederates.
Donald Trump implemented massive government spending cuts with DOGE which destroyed the functioning of USAID, that has already led to the deaths of 600,000 people via starvation and disease. 200,000 of those were children. 14 million people remain at risk and are likely to die over the next decade. (And for the record, that alone is potentially worse than what Hitler did to the Jews, Gypsys and Gays in Germany during WWII).
He’s a liar, a racist bigot, an incompetent businessman, a thieving conman, a genocidal monster and fucking bullshit artist.
We all know this; most of this isn’t up for debate. Even MAGAs don’t dispute most of these facts. The difference is they don’t care. Even If they themselves are not racist or sexist, or they’re just living in denial about Trump, they are still willing to openly support a person who does and says bigoted, racist, genocidal things.
Somehow, that’s not a red line in the sand for them. It’s not a bridge too far. The problem is If you support racism and genocide, sorry, then you are effectively a racist. You are implementing bigotry and mass murder.
What is “deranged” and not normal is not hating a man like this. Frankly, everyone with any moral values at all should hate him. It’s strange that they don’t. It’s weird.
Even if they do see all these as moral failings, the truth is that they like that he’s such an asshole because they think, sadly, that he’s THEIR asshole. They think he’ll use all that anger, and bile, and FIGHT he has in him, for their benefit.
They don't care about who suffers in the process, and the really funny part is they think the rest of us have some sort of obligation to put up with this shit.
No, we don’t.
I recently had a, now former, friend of mine say this to me.
Love you, dude. I hope you are doing well.
I said this:
That's too bad, because we're done.
His response.
This is textbook bigotry. Cutting someone off because the victimized you in some way, is one thing and i totally support such an action. But cutting someone off for their political views and opinions is bigotry in it's purest form. You are better than this, Frank.
If you watch the video, which is your option, you will see that this person was sadly lamenting cutting themselves off from their own father, not because his father was a MAGA, but because his father was an abusive dickhead. The decision wasn’t political; it was personal. He was protecting himself and his family from potential harm from this violently raging, dangerous person.
My former friend had jumped to a conclusion about what I was saying without actually bothering to watch the video I posted or fully understanding the context. This was a habit with him. A bad habit. He would post comments to my substack that were questions which were answered directly and explicitly in the post itself. Which means he didn’t read any of the post except the title. The most efficient way to answer him would have been to repost the entire article again in a reply to his comment, which he probably still wouldn’t read because TLDR. There was no point.
Oh, and he also insulted my writing, which again, he hadn’t bothered to read, twice.
And this is exactly why I eventually cut off this former friend. He wasn’t even listening to what I was actually saying, or writing, he’d just jump to some negative conclusion about what he thought I was saying and so now I’m shadow-boxing with something I didn't even say or mean. I’d had enough. It wasn’t because he was MAGA, it was because he had become an insulting, demeaning, degrading asshole.
Even in this post, he’s essentially calling me a bigot. Bigotry is unfairly and improperly judging someone based on one minor personal characteristic. It’s making an assumption about someone that isn’t proven. My opinion of him had been proven multiple times. He’d personally insulted and attacked me several times. When I asked him nicely to stop and “Cool it”, it got worse. I guess because we’d known each other for over 25 years, he thought he was entitled to treat me like shit. Maybe he thought he was being “honest” with me. Yeah, Fuck that.
I cut him off because of who he had become, not who he voted for. But then again, maybe who he was at the time is why he voted the way he did. If he’d been man enough to admit the shit he said to me — but he wasn’t, he repeatedly demanded to see screenshots of our conversations, even when he was IN the conversation — and if he had just once either said he was “sorry” or asked for forgiveness, I would have forgiven him. I would have just chalked it up to being overly passionate, to a mistake in the heat of the moment.
But he never did. So I never did.
They just don’t get.
They think this is just some petty grievance. Like we prefer a different brand of toilet paper. They think this is just some weird derangement we have for disliking Trump, just because he’s rich and white or something.
It’s far beyond that. It’s about basic moral values.
Right now, they are celebrating in the streets the fact that Trump has illegally started a War and killed the Ayatollah Ali Khomeini. They don’t stop to think what the long-term consequences of this will be, and they don’t stop to think how many innocent people — including 60 children — have already died because of him.
They argue that they implemented this attack to “protect the rights of women.” Uh huh. As if Trump gives a shit about that.
They now loudly champion a doctrine of “Regime Change” when it was Trump, and also Charlie Kirk who loudly argued against the “Forever Wars.”
They say we have “TDS” — but really they have “TDRS” (Trump Dick Riding Syndrome)
Uh huh.
So, even if you don’t agree with this interpretation of things, it’s pretty clear that there are plenty of legitimate reasons to dislike this man. It’s not just something people do on a whim.
Yes, we hate him because he’s disgusting, immoral and evil.
Here’s the thing, why is it the people who argue they have a right to refuse to bake a cake, build a website for, or grant a marriage certificate to a gay couple — because it violates their “moral values” — think we should be just fine putting up with their lack of morals in supporting this dangerously deranged, pathological, lying, racist, genocidal fucking shithead?
Somehow, it was fine for you people to do that, wasn’t it?
Many of us hate you people, refuse to associate or tolerate you people, because you knowingly put him back in power and into a position to viciously and vindictively fuck with everyone else in the country and the world.
The truth is, many of you like his racism. You like his bigotry. You like his hatred. You like him assassinating the national leaders of other countries. You want him to gun his enemies down in the street like Kent State on Mescaline.
What does that say about you?
And what would it say about us, if we chose to put up with you?
Just for the record, this is what the person from the video I sent my former friend actually does says about MAGA, and he’s also got plenty of shit to say about AIPAC Centrist Democrats who continue the status quo.
In response to an issue brought up in the comments, that many MAGAs continue to support Trump because they simply refuse to believe what we all know is factually true about him.
Yeah, this is the other possibility.
That they live in abject denial of documented and confirmed facts. They believe that Trump is somehow totally and completely innocent of every allegation that has been lodged against him, from his 1970s discrimination case to his implementation of the illegal mass roundup and detention of brown people.
There are some MAGAs who refuse to believe every account presented by the News media — simply because it comes from the News media. Even when it comes from court testimony and evidence presented during trial and cross examination. They think every major media outlet is engaged in a massive jealousy-inspired coordinated plot to sabotage and lie about Trump, each and every day.
They believe that he’s never done anything wrong or illegal in his entire life. He’s never even cursed at anyone out of anger, and he goes out of his way to save kittens stuck in trees. He’s a literal saint of virtue and light. (This would would include my former friend)
These people would be suffering from an enormous mass delusion. My only conclusion is that these people want to live in this impenetrable bubble of denial. They like it there, trapped in a world where everyone who isn’t MAGA — every immigrant, every moderate, every liberal — is nothing more than a vicious monster out to get them, the poor White Christian Straight Righteous Conservative “Real American”, forever threatened and hunted by the boogey-men from under the bed. What I think of these poor self-deluded souls would be a steady stream of vile disgusting epithets the likes of which have not been heard outside the 7th ring of hell.
Yeah, we don’t need to go down that dirty road.
Those people exist, but they are frankly far worse than the MAGAs I’ve already described in this peice who only partially know better, but continue to support a living demon anyway.
These people are even more worthy of our disgust. They are far beyond all rational discourse.
