MAGA and Hitler Methods Bonus: Through the Eyes of Holocaust Survivors
Flying across the news cycle – an even occasionally garnering a momentary, fleeting mention in the complicit mainstream news media, is the rumor that Donald Trump wishes that he had Hitler’s generals. Context would certainly help, and Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic provides it in this interview with NPR: “Obviously, we know that he has…

MAGA Undermined Parental Rights by Packing the Courts with Anti-Liberty Judges
In MAGA’s quest to assert the “parental right” to put other people’s children in danger, they have begun claiming that parental rights are fundamental rights protected by the Due Process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.

Quick Take: MAGA Hates Lady Liberty
We all know that MAGA hates freedom with a passion, but it’s uncommon for them to attack an icon of American liberty itself. But this cutthroat MAGA tyrant tells all: It is no accident that these goddess of liberty (queen of heaven) statues proliferated when they did in the 1800s. It was associated with official proclamation…

The Culture Wars are not a Distraction. They are MAGA’s sole mission and purpose.
The capacity of Americans to deny reality is unsurpassed. The right wing is routinely accused of living in a world that is completely separated from reality, and that part is true in many ways. But the Left is just as adept and committed to denying reality, furiously doing that cowardly thing of legend that ostriches…

Virtually Absolute Proof that there is no “Widespread Voter Fraud,” contrary to MAGA lies
(Or, How Many Ways Does MAGA Try To Steal Elections? Let Me Count The Ways.) If voter fraud were easy enough to commit en masse to alter the outcome of an election, MAGA would already be committing it themselves. And I can pretty much prove it with inductive logic.

Project 2025 Deep Dive 2: A Supercharged Federal Government

With MAGA, Hate Really Is The Glue
Have you ever wondered what holds a ball of protons together in an atomic nucleus, despite the fact that protons, having the same electrostatic charge, should repel one another so strongly that the repulsion tears the nucleus apart? Those protons are held together by the Strong Force of nuclear physics. Now, let’s push some protons…

The Early – and Brazen – Beginnings of MAGA in the 1990s
You would never suspect it from the lack of coverage by the cowardly mainstream “liberal media,” but “Christian” nationalism was already taking off like a rocket in 1994.

Imagine that the case before you is one large, ugly dandelion growing in your otherwise perfectly manicured lawn. You can either: apply a specific herbicide that targets only certain kinds of broad-leaved weeds, or you can bust out the Roundup and kill the whole damn lawn, deciding the dandelion case in the process. Either method…
