To the younger MAGA, it was never "cool"...

I know many thought Trump was not a politician and he would tell it like it is. After all, he was a "successful" businessman. You thought it was cool when he said, "Punch 'em in the face". You liked that.

You liked that he "owned the libs". The truth is now there for all to see. He didn't own the libs, he owned you. You were the sucker. You put this nation at risk because you thought it was "cool".

He lied to your faces and you did not even know it. You not only were "owned", you were stupid.

Now their getting it from social platforms that are owned by the plutocrats that are happy to see this American experiment in democracy die. The plutocrats will harvest the benefits. Homes foreclosed, farm lands sold for pennies on the dollar. No more social safety nets.

I don't think all of the younger generation is stupid - far from it. But for the most part the avenues to learn about history and the facts behind these political agendas has been slowly stripped away. At the same time a whole lot of the younger generation are very skeptical - and rightfully so.

Comdedians turned political commentators. Why? Because it was lucrative. They don't have a clue what their talking about, but they have the ability to talk about anything and be entertaining. So they literally just gave them want they wanted to hear. Whatever way the wind blew, what ever was considered cool, anything that challenged the status quo or whatever way they were monetarily induced to go. It's a pretty simple recipe, doesn't take any knowledge, expertise or critical thinking to sound like some oracle if that's what people want to hear.

It's a cult. Public school funding has decreased greatly in favor of private and religious schools. These schools are allowed to teach their own well edited versions of history and current events. Critical thought is unheard of in these classes. How to build and expand to MAGA cult 101.

Chump fooled the older (Baby Boomer Faux Noise watching) MAGAs even worse. They're the ones who gave him money as well as their votes. Fuck them forever because they should have known. They lived through Nixon's Watergate and a lot of other shit. The olds should have known, even though the younger ones were fooled.

He stole from business people and defrauded people out of their money with fake businesses like Trump University. He steals.
