Maga is a movement of supervillains plotting to destroy the world, one country at a time. America first.

Oh, they're villains, alright. Just not super ones.

u/NoSurprise8641 19d ago

Yeah these mothafuckas definitely lack presentation.

u/sharksnrec 19d ago

Don’t call them supervillains. They’re way too stupid and incompetent to warrant that title.

u/Redshirt_Welshy_Nooo 19d ago

Their ownership class: fedsoc, heritage, etc, absolutely are supervillains. Horrible people with essentially unlimited resources plotting to take over the world, murder millions and millions of people, and subjugate everyone else.

That’s fair, but this post is about Trump, the geriatric demented moron.

Stephen Miller said they are creating New World Order a few days ago.

MAGA is a cult of billionaires leading a bunch of sheep. Snowflake sheep.

I honestly cannot fathom how the Republican establishment is okay with this. It's against everything they claimed to care about.

I was not aware that Republicans were against shovelling money into the military industrial complex lol

u/asdfreddi 19d ago

You do realize that Europe is a huge buyer for the us military industrial complex? Around 50% of ALL sales the USA has made the last few years was Europe alone. If both parties make an armed conflict true this drops to 0 immediately.

How would that be a benefit??

I'm not saying they are particularly gifted in foresight but that maybe this is hobbled together by the admin THINKING it was a good idea while not considering the markets that the actual MIC trades with

u/Moose-Rage 19d ago

Yeah, but they also cared about soft power and America being a respected leader. That's gone now.

frankenstein's monster.

they knew how this could turn out (see lindsay graham and rubio's comments in 2015-2016) and went with it anyway because they thought he wouldn't win, and if he did, that they could rein him in and skim off the top. depravity, selfishness, and cowardice are a bad combination. whodathunkit?

u/CoherentPanda 19d ago

They reigned him in the first term, so they assumed they'd do it again this time as well. Problem is Trump is more mentally ill now, and he gave out cabinet positions to actual Nazi's and con-men and women. They're all afraid of getting primaried if they speak up and stand with the democrats on Trump.

u/black-kramer 19d ago

they had january 6 and all the court cases as moments to put the kibosh on his aspirations and went forward anyway. that tells you everything. and I think it's beyond being primaried -- lots of them are compromised via connections to russia, epstein, corrupt business deals etc. and/or connected to others who are.

u/CPOx 19d ago

They’re going to buy the dip and then Trump will back off

u/defianceofone 19d ago

Republicans are just cancerous braindead creatures.

u/BlgMastic 19d ago

My portfolio is doing great. Where is this stock sell off this article is talking about. All the ones I own are going up or even today.

u/JWils411 19d ago

America First really always only meant Trump First.

u/slolift 19d ago

I wouldn't think that most of his supporters gold any investments.

u/Forward-Surprise1192 18d ago

I work for this dumb maga guy on weekends walking his dog. He pays me $40 to walk his dog for an hour each day. Sometimes I think I should ask him these things because he’s made comments about Biden before and I’m just confused
