"Instead, we got in the first year of Trump’s second term what anyone with more intellectual horsepower than the average planaria could have easily predicted: failure, destruction, chaos, misery, and humiliation, served daily, like prison cafeteria loaf, with a side of televised cruelty and fascist spectacle.

"The lie at the center of MAGA has always been simple: Trump will hurt the people you hate, and you’ll finally get ahead. It was the promise that sold in 2016, fell short in 2020, and sold again in 2024.
MAGA voters don’t want prosperity; they want punishment for anyone darker than clotted cream and who varies in even the slightest degree from their lane of populist, post-conservative culture-war Christianity."
