The simple fact is that MAGA is the revolt of stupidity against education, science, government, the legal system, journalism, people who aren’t from here, people who don’t look like MAGGOTs; it has less to do with conservatism than it has to do with a cheese omelet. It’s a revolt fostered by the 94-year-old Australian MAGGOT Rupert Murdoch, whose loudspeaker tells the uneducated that the world has conspired against them and needs to be destroyed. Anarchy is what Murdoch has to sell and he’s been quite successful: it isn’t journalism, its cynicism, vandalism. The First Amendment gives Murdoch the right to spray-paint trash talk on the marble walls of government and now at last he has elected a vandal to spray them from the inside.
