Dear MAGA: I have a legitimate question I’d like you to answer — and I’m sure many others do too.
Why shouldn’t we think of you as mindless sheep who are brainwashed by a cult when Donald Trump’s propaganda is so predictable, yet you all never seem to realize it?
If an election doesn’t go his way, it’s “rigged.” He said it after the 2016 Iowa GOP caucus when he lost to Ted Cruz. He said it after losing the 2016 popular vote. He’s never stopped saying it about 2020. And heading into 2024, we all knew that if he lost, it would be “totally rigged” — because he was already laying the groundwork until the results started going his way.
It’s predictable.
Mass protests? Always “paid agitators.” Never thousands — or millions — of people genuinely outraged by his behavior and policies. Nope. Always “paid actors.”
Again, predictable.
He takes credit for everything good and responsibility for nothing bad.
Again, predictable.
When his approval drops, polls are “fake.” When the numbers look good, those same polls suddenly become real. He literally decides which polls are legitimate based solely on whether they're positive or negative for him.
Again, predictable.
Positive news is real. Negative news is “fake.” He’ll cite a source when it helps him, then call that same source "fake" the moment it doesn’t.
Again, predictable.
He constantly claims “the polls say” and “people are telling me” how amazing everything is — without ever showing the polls or naming the people. He just says it… and you believe it.
Again, predictable.
Year after year, it’s the same con. The same script. The same nonsense. And it only works because he counts on supporters being too brainwashed, naive, gullible, or unwilling to question him to notice how obvious the pattern is.
It’s fake!
It’s rigged!
It’s paid protesters!
It’s a witch hunt!
Same lines. Every single time.
So why shouldn’t people like me view you the same way Trump treats you — like brainwashed followers who don’t realize his response to anything negative is always exactly the same?
You all demand we show you more respect than the president you worship shows you. Because if he actually had any respect for you, he wouldn’t be so blatantly predictable in how full of shit he is.
