The more Donald Trump and #MAGA refuse to admit that he lost the 2020 Election, the more insane they look.
I used to wonder what it would be like to live in an America where the president happens to be a combination of Benito Mussolini, the FyreFestival guy, and Charles Manson.
Now I know. It’s like four years of my life that I can’t get back.
Watching the “regime” (quotes intentional) self-destruct, I just want it to be over with. I am excited to discover how it feels to have the peace of mind that comes from knowing that my Federal Government takes the coronavirus pandemic seriously.
Then there are the #fakecivilwar theatrics—fuck those racist chickenhawks. The visual of a white man wearing a mask over his mouth, but not his nose, as a passive-aggresssive act of “war” (again: quotes intentional) seems to be a metaphor for what the U.S. has been facing. Stupidity and privilege combined and weaponized. Would you engage in a “civil war” with that guy? I wouldn’t. They keep doing everything they can to instigate and the masses aren’t taking the bait.
This Newsweek article here focuses on a key truth about the core Donald Trump supporter: they aren’t as poor as they pretend to be. Contrary to the narrative spun by Fox News, the MAGA campaign’s true believers skew higher-net-worth and make more than the nation’s median income.
The haves love Donald Trump. And America pretends that a legion of mentally-challenged have-nots make up Donald’s base. Noooooo, America…mentally-challenged haves make up the base.
The White House became a nuthouse because richer folks got richer.
Sure, the 1% also became more paranoid and fatalistic in the process. But they got richer. As the Founding Fathers said, “Greed is good.”

I write fiction and have two dark comedies available, Fearkiller (Volume 1) and Notes from Trillionaire Island: Fearkiller (Volume 2), as well as Revolutionizer Alpha, the first book in a sci-fi series. I also wrote a story about God. It was weird, but then I decided to make the story and its sequel free. And all of the sudden, it didn’t seem as weird. Writing about God is much less weird when you write about God without charging money for it.
