This Viral Video Perfectly Explains The Dangers Of The MAGA Movement

If you’ve ever seen any footage from a rally held by failed, one-term former president Donald Trump, the following thought may have crossed your mind as you watch how the crowd reacts to the disgusting things their political savior spouts.

What in the hell is wrong with these people?

Here’s a theory, courtesy of Time Magazine as part of an interview they did with author Tina Nguyen, who managed to extricate herself from the Trump/MAGA movement:

MAGA is: ‘Screw this, we’re burning it all down. We don’t care how, we don’t care how destructive it is.’ It’s degrees of execution and destructive qualities that are the splits between the two.

And now, thanks to the internet, we have a video that exposes and explains the MAGA cancer that continues to grow in this country. It was posted on Twitter by social media influencer Brian Krassenstein. Feel free to share the video far and wide so more people will learn the dangers of Trump and his army of supporters.

These people are an existential threat to the United States and their candidate must be defeated at the ballot box and then incarcerated for his crimes.

2024 Landslide? Harris Is Surging In 3 Key Battleground States

In the weeks ahead, you’ll hear one number repeatedly: 270. That’s the number of electoral votes it takes for a candidate to win the presidential election and become the next head of state.

While conventional wisdom is that the race for the White House between Vice President Kamala Harris and former president Donald Trump will be one of the closest in American history, a former head of the Republican Party says recent trends suggest Harris could be on the verge of winning in a landslide.

Michael Steele now works as co-host of MSNBC’s “The Weekend,” and is one of the most astute voices on the subject of the GOP, writing in an article for the network that three key states — Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina — are now leaning to Harris. Their 62 combined electoral votes could give Democrats a resounding victory on November 5.

So-called “late deciders” are the key, Steele explains.

“As we get closer to Election Day, these voters become more engaged. Their intentions begin to shift and may even harden into support as they read up on the two candidates, listen closer to their arguments, and shift their attitudes. When they do, they can change the political landscape dramatically in short order. In Florida, voters will also be considering ballot measures to legalize recreational cannabis and codify abortion rights — popular policies that align with the Harris-Walz agenda.”

Steele adds that while Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina all seem to be going in Harris’ direction, there’s no guarantee they’ll wind up in her column when the ballots are counted.

“To be clear, I’m not saying that Harris will outright win Georgia, North Carolina or Florida — or even that she’ll win at all. What I am saying is that the polls can’t yet capture what these late deciders intend to do.”

A similar dynamic took place in 2016, when Trump convinced enough late deciders to vote for him, completely upending conventional wisdom which suggested Hillary Clinton would win overwhelmingly.

There’s plenty of time remaining for all of us to make a difference in the 2024 election, Steele concludes.

“The only thing you can do is cast your own ballot, encourage your friends and family to do the same and volunteer to help out a campaign and persuade as many intentional voters as you can along the way. After that, all you can do is wait as they make their intentions known.”

If Harris does indeed win in Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina while carrying most of the other battleground states of Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, she’d secure over 300 electoral votes, more than enough for victory and a mandate from the voters.

Melania Trump May Have Just Pulled The Ultimate ‘October Surprise’ On Donald

It’s been called the “October surprise” that failed former president Donald Trump didn’t even see coming, mainly because it came from inside his orbit.

As part of promoting her upcoming memoir, former First Lady Melania Trump proudly declared that she’s pro-choice, a direct rebuke of her husband’s anti-abortion policies that could hurt him with just a little more than a month left until Election Day.

In an ad, Mrs. Trump states, “Individual freedom is a fundamental principal that I safeguard. There is no room for compromise when it comes to this essential right that all women possess at birth…What does ‘my body, my choice’ really mean?”

Those comments led some to suggest on social media that Melania may also be on the verge of endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris, which would be devastating for Donald.

While some may argue that Melania’s remarks are a calculated move to “soften” her husband’s anti-choice image, they once again bring the issue to the forefront, which is something the Trump-Vance campaign was hoping to avoid, especially since voters are already going to the polls in some states.

Donald Trump Jr. Demands His Daddy Be ‘Put In Charge’ Of Hurricane Helene Disaster Response

Minutes after the vice presidential debate between Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) and Gov. Tim Walz, toxic nepo baby Donald Trump Jr. told Fox News that his old man needs to be coordinating the federal response to Hurricane Helene.

According to Don Jr., his daddy had worked with Twitter CEO Elon Musk to bring internet access to those impacted by the hurricane because the Biden administration had been too busy giving “$8 billion to Ukraine.”

“How about we just send it to North Carolina, Georgia? My father’s doing more for North Carolina and Georgia by getting Elon to bring in Starlink and supplies to be able to create communications.”

What Junior neglected to mention is that Starlink access was already up and running before the disgraced ex-president called Musk.

However, Don Jr. was far from finished with his unhinged rant.

“Honestly, what Kamala Harris and Joe Biden should do is like, ‘Donald, please, please take over the disaster response because we’re too busy taking care of our enemies around the world and making sure that Iran feels comfortable and is well-funded to keep attacking our enemies.’ I mean, that’s what they should do. If he wanted to actually solve something for the American people, put him in charge now.”

Don Jr’s whining comes just days after his father claimed that officials in Georgia had been unable to contact President Joe Biden and request emergency supplies for areas of the Peach State that were hit the worst by Hurricane Helene.

As with nearly everything that comes from the mouth of the failed former president, it turns out that his claim of inaction by the Biden administration was a crock of shit, with Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) noting, “He just said, ‘Hey, what do you need?’ And I told him, you know, we got what we need. We will work through the federal process.”

Biden also took a swipe at his predecessor, telling reporters from the Oval Office, “He’s lying, and the governor told him he was lying. I don’t know why he does this. And the reason I get so angry about — I don’t care about what he says about me, I care what he what he communicates to people that are in need, implies that we’re not doing everything possible. We are.”

Instead of having any of the Trump family members take over anything, here’s a better idea: Let them help Donald get his affairs in order for the long prison sentence he’s likely facing after he loses in a landslide to Vice President Kamala Harris.

Trump’s Weakness In This All-Important Red State May Cost Him The 2024 Election

Think back for a moment and try to remember the last time a Democratic presidential candidate won so overwhelmingly that even a deeply red state like Flordia was in play.

The year was 2012, and Barack Obama was seeking a second term in office against Republican nominee Mitt Romney. Obama wound up storming to an overwhelming electoral victory, winning 332 electoral votes to Romney’s 206.

Yet here we are a dozen years later and Vice President Kamala Harris could be on the verge of turning the Sunshine State blue once more, which would be a death knell for former president Donald Trump’s campaign, according to Newsweek, which reports that a recent poll from the state shows Trump only has a razor-thin lead as early voting begins in some states.

“A recent survey of 600 registered voters by the Independent Center and The Bullfinch Group, conducted September 20 and 23, showed Trump had a 1-point lead over Vice President Kamala Harris in Florida (48 percent to 47). The results have a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.”

Even if Trump does manage to prevail in Florida, such a close race with Harris could wind up costing him the election because it will force him to put resources into a state he should already have locked down, Thomas Gift, an associate professor of political science and director of the Centre on U.S. Politics at University College London, warns.

“Even if Harris loses Florida, which certainly looks likely, this could cost Trump elsewhere if he’s forced to devote scarce time, resources, and energy into shoring up his lead in the Sunshine State.”

Two constitutional amendments in the ballot could also boost the turnout of progressive and Democratic voters, with Floridians deciding if abortion access should be enshrined under law and marijuana legalized. Those issues have dramatically increased voter interest and turnout in other states that have put similar measures on the ballot.

Florida Democrats are placing their hopes on the Orlando area of the state, which recently elected Congressman Maxwell Frost (D-FL), the first Gen Z House member, who told the Tampa Bay Times, “The people are on our side in terms of policy but not politics. So how do we solve that? We talk about our policy more.”

This late in the 2024 election, Trump and the GOP should have Florida locked up so they can focus on battleground states such as Georgia, North Carolina, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. Instead, they’re sweating as they see the Sunshine State continue to trend in Harris’s direction. And if that continues, Democrats could well win the biggest prize in the South, which would all but slam the door on Republican dreams of eking out a win in 2024.
