Dear maga: Fuck off. Then, fuck all the way off. Keep fucking off until you get to a gate with a sign saying "you can't fuck off past here". Climb over the gate, dream the impossible dream, and keep fucking off forever.

I feel like we're at this very point in the movie...
Leonardo DiCaprio is sitting at a table in a darkened room, looking to his right, and saying "we really did have everything, didn't we?, from the movie "Don't Look Up".

Meanwhile, they distract us with naked racism.

"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you." -Lyndon B. Johnson

Two side-by-side images. On the left, rioters battle police over control of a barrier during the insurrection on January 6th, 2001. On the right, an image from September/November 2025 of a protest in Portland, Oregon, in which a person in an inflatable frog costume is peacefully standing in front of police and/or National Guard members. The left image is labeled "MAGA PROTESTS", the right image is labeled "ANTIFA PROTESTS". The tagline at the bottom reads "ANY QUESTIONS???"

A fundraising email from Hakeem Jeffries An unsubscribe page, with the "reason" being: A is for antiquated politics that cannot meet the moment. B is for broken promises repeated year after year. C is for complacency in the face of rising authoritarianism. D is for defensive strategies that only tread water. E is for entrenched leadership unwilling to risk real change. F is for faded slogans that no longer inspire hope. G is for generational stagnation at the top of the party. H is for hesitation when boldness is required. I is for incrementalism that cannot defeat extremism. J is for Jeffries himself, representing the old guard. K is for keeping power instead of transforming it. L is for lip service to progress without action. M is for Mamdani — Zohran shows the energy we need. N is for new ideas that connect to the grassroots. O is for old ways that will not beat Trumpism. P is for polished speeches that lack substance. Q is for quiet compromise when loud justice is required. R is for recycled rhetoric instead of fresh vision. S is for status quo politics that leave people behind. T is for Trumpism — which can’t be beaten by yesterday’s playbook. U is for unwillingness to listen to rising movements. V is for visionaries like Zohran who fight for real change. W is for winning strategies that come from organizing, not backroom deals. X is for Xeroxed leadership repeating the same mistakes. Y is for young progressives stepping up where elders won’t. Z is for Zohran Mandani — proof of the new path forward.

Side-by-side images. On the left: tRump in the Situation Room wearing a suit and his flippin maga hat. He is flanked by the American flag, and the presidential seal is on the wall behind him. On the right: President Camacho (played by Terry Crews) in the movie Idiocracy, standing at a lectern with a modified American flag behind him, wearing a tank top and a headband, with various American regalia.
