Very impressive! MAGA hates the guy. If he were elected, I can’t imagine peace, anymore than I can see peace in our present moment. We really need someone who can cut through all the pain and anger of the past 10 years, on both sides. Don’t we? We need a generational leader that can lead us out of what is, to a great degree, a manufactured morass. After all, Trump’s foundation is a narrative that is fictional.
But, loved seeing Newsom take the fight to Trump. And Noem’s remarks, that seemed to precipitate chaos at her presser, was a declaration of war against state rights.
Overall, Trump is waging war on the cultural front. Hence eliminate DEI everywhere, etc. But, one really cannot stomp out an entire worldview via fiat. I think we found that out a hundred years ago when we legislated prohibition of alcohol. Trump is trying to win the culture war by fiat. I’ve said it before: if MAGA culture thinks this is a winning strategy, it’s like saying liberal attitudes, and the >50% of Americans opposed to Trump and his policies, are just going to say “oh, ok, you win”, and just lay down. That’s not going to happen. But that’s the policy of Trump and Project 2025. Winning the culture wars involves conquest of liberals, and dictatorial imposition of MAGA “values”.
Anyway, yeah, Newsome can really speak. You need that. You need to be able to move people with your words, and not simply appeal to their rational minds. You need to inspire hope, inspire thoughts of a better future. Trump, on the other hand, claims his dystopian vision is a solution. All lies, all designed to consolidate his power, and implement the fascist Revolution known as Project 2025.
Newsome would get my vote. But might not be able to pick a candidate more hated by the people of MAGA , and the emotional sickness within MAGA, that Trump has used to such advantage.

Can’t think of a better description of MAGA. The government is Donald Trump. Trump has made it clear that he IS the state. Trump is the state, and what he commands is what he demands. MAGA: “we will, you will, follow Trump’s demands”. He IS the state. Donal Trump IS the government!
He did say he “loves the uneducated”. Why? Easy: the uneducated lack critical thinking skills. The meme is correct in saying “thinking is hard”. MAGA will find it particularly difficult, since many are not used to thinking using reasoning skills, but Trump also knows he’s talking to the people, whose anger and feelings of being cut off, that his very demagoguery has been taking advantage of, and from the day he descended Trump Tower, in 2015, and told Americans he had a handy scapegoat for them: immigrants. The man knew he had a golden opportunity in 2016 to use his skill at marshaling fear, anger, and hatred to his advantage. We’ve had 10 years of his fascist rhetoric now.
MAGA believes Donald Trump IS the government now. Americans will do as he says, or else.
No real surprise if a MAGAT posts memes like this. After all, it’s true, thinking is hard! And they are very ill equipped for the task…I guess it’s possible they forgot Trump IS the government now….

But aren’t both sides the same?
One side believes immigrants should be treated humanly while the other wants to deport them and ethnically cleanse America of all impure vermin who are poisoning our nation’s blood.
One side believes in climate change and vaccines while the other doesn’t.
One side believes women should be treated equal to men while the other believes they should remain quiet and out of sight baby incubators.
One side believes in a social safety net so that poor and old people aren’t destitute while the other believes social safety nets should only be for the rich.
One side supports Ukraine and its desire to defend itself against invasion while the other loves Putin, thinks he’s an genius, and sees Russia as a model for our country.
One side believes in free and fair elections while the other rejects them and attempts insurrections, attempting to kill the vice president, when they lose.
Both sides are equal and the same, right?

This is a good post.
One thing I’ve noticed is how all of Trump regime leaders are imitating Trump. Noem went on Fox News yesterday gaslighting the audience about what was happening in Los Angeles. She said, “they will stay and liberate the city from the socialists.” Clearly, an ideological war for many of these creeps. They see ethnically cleansing America as a worthy goal to eliminate political opponents and people of out group skin color.
Pete Hegseth, JD Vance, and Tulsi Gabbard routinely attempt to act all “tough”, imitating Trump in order to placate their audience of one.
