Like Scrooge, greed has been their north star. Except that rich MAGA is making out like a bandit, while the MAGA masses are suffering--and starting to wake up.
“We don’t apologize for being white anymore,” may be the most explicit belief at the heart of the MAGA movement. We've seen the racism over and over, ever since DJT first came down the gold escalator.
The GOP has nothing to say so they utter stupid sayings that Magats can grasp. Who has ever been afraid to say Merry Christmas or I'm sorry I'm white? Beyond ridiculous!
Your insightful take on the right that they want on in on the grift is so spot on. I take little comfort that more money makes fascism palatable to Americans.
thanks. It’s what worked for Hitler and others for a while. And certainly has worked for Putin, who got everyone a TV in their living and then was able to consolidate power.
The Civil War is another example of how ignorance prevailed among southern white boys. The saying, "you can't cheat an honest man" is based on the idea honest people don't take what they don't earn.
I would just like to take this time and thank Michelangelo and his hard working staff for providing us all with his incredible reportage and calming presence in the face of resident rump's authoritarian bullshit. That having been said, I now wish to bestow upon your beatific brow, the King of all Angels award and personally thank you for your generosity for helping me stay connected.
Buon Natale to you, your family and all of your commenters here as well. You are loved!
Ha, thank you, thank you thank you! And let me say you are all angels, all of the subscribers here who join the conversation with their great insights.
isn't interesting, therefore, how January 6th insurrectionist "boots" were the ones who suffered all criminal consequences (suits got away with the entire op)... and now—per Mike's excellent writeup—average magas are feeling financial squeeze while high-flying nutbag billionaires are more comfortable than ever? if the cult members had any sense they'd wake up and smell brewing coffee.
Added to what you just said, there is a cherry on top of the racist shit sundae that is Cpl. Vance. He's now cosplaying as a fuckin' Navy SEAL. As if their weren't enough fake Navy SEALs on social media. Sorry I didn't get around to calling in for the Turkey & Angel awards, work got in the way of that event. Luckily Mike from Illinois picked Elon Musk. Plus, I was kind of undecisive that day whether to pick Elon or Cpl. Vance. One more thing about the couch fucker, nobody read the fluff pieces he authored for 2nd Marine Air Wing. Me and every other Marine & Sailor at Al-Asad were mainly reading either Maxim, King, Hombre or muscle mags.
Yes! Support your local Dems, and get the word out to voters.
We were able to protect voting in our last election for our state and county in PA by electing judges and county and local candidates. Voters are listening!

I have never heard anyone say this, or so apologize. Nor anyone ever complain about saying Merry Christmas. What a bunch of nonsense.

Who apologizes for being white or any other race? Repubs are the stupidest fools on earth.

This!!!
Great take and summary as usual, Michelangelo.

Thanks Mike, great piece (when are you going to write another book?). Looking forward to Angels and Turkeys today. Happy Holidays!
