MAGA Civil War Erupts Online After Elon Musk Censors Posts From Trump Ally

When he purchased Twitter for $44 billion in 2022, Elon Musk claimed he had done so because he wanted a social media platform that didn’t censor people’s online posts, no matter how controversial they might be.

And yet that’s exactly what Musk is accused of doing after Trump ally Laura Loomer dared criticize the Twitter CEO. The back-and-forth between the two is causing a major rift in the so-called MAGA coalition.

Loomer lashed out at Musk after he called for the United States to import more engineers from overseas because the U.S. doesn’t produce enough of them to keep up with the increasing demand for such workers.

“The number of people who are super talented engineers AND super motivated in the USA is far too low,” Musk asserted. “Think of this like a pro sports team: if you want your TEAM to win the championship, you need to recruit top talent wherever they may be. That enables the whole TEAM to win.”

That didn’t sit well with many Trump acolytes, including Loomer, who can best be described as a professional gadfly who appears to have no other job than sticking her nose up Donald’s ass while giving him a reach-around.

In response, Loomer wrote, “The elephant in the room is that Elon Musk, who is not MAGA and never has been, is a total f—— drag on the Trump transition. He’s a stage 5 clinger who over stayed his welcome at Mar-a-Lago to… be the point man for all his accomplices in big Tech to slither in.”

After Musk accused Loomer of trolling, she again hit back.

“Telling the truth isn’t trolling,” she asserted. “You bought your way into MAGA 5 minutes ago after Trump almost had his head blown off in Butler… we all know you only donated your money so you could influence immigration policy and protect your buddy Xi Jinping.”

Rather than debate Loomer further, Musk removed her blue check verification badge and allegedly stripped her of her paid subscribers, with Loomer fuming, “X removed my verification, my subs, and my ability to get premium again.”

Loomer also called Musk a hypocrite.

“How are we have an open debate when people who called out [American work visa program] H1B (including me) just had their verifications taken away by X? This is censorship… not open debate.”

Others in the Trump-MAGA coalition also criticized Musk.

MAGA Faithful Have An Online Sh*t Fit After National Spelling Bee Accepts New Variant Of Word

Eager to find yet another thing they can be outraged about, the MAGA faithful went nuclear after learning that the Scripps National Spelling Bee has added a new variant to a word on its approved study list for third graders, even though the variant has long appeared in dictionaries across the world.

According to reporting from Fox News, “Study lists for the contest found on school district websites for the 2024-2025 school year list the feminist term, ‘womyn,’ as an acceptable alternate spelling for ‘women’ that students can use.”

Scripps explained why they added the “womyn” variant:

“In building our study lists, we aim to include alternate spellings for any words that have them listed in Merriam-Webster. The Merriam-Webster Unabridged Dictionary is the final authority and sole source for the spelling of all words offered in competition.”

“All of the words used in the Scripps National Spelling Bee program are pulled from our official dictionary, Merriam-Webster Unabridged Dictionary. During competition, our policy is to accept any correct spelling listed in our official dictionary that isn’t marked archaic or obsolete. The alternate spelling ‘womyn’ is therefore included on our study list because it is listed as an alternate spelling for ‘women’ in Merriam-Webster.”

“Womyn” is in the dictionary, so it has to be included as correct by Scripps because it’s accepted as a legitimate way of spelling the word, whether you like it or not.

Right-wingers on social media quickly made it clear they’re furious over anything that doesn’t comport with their narrow view of the world.

Trump’s Proposed Budget Cuts Will Be Most Harmful To His Supporters: Report

Based on the promises he made while campaigning throughout the 2024 presidential election, Donald Trump (with the help of his chief benefactor, Elon Musk) made it clear he plans to slash billions of dollars from the federal budget, even eliminating entire departments and cutting back on numerous programs that are part of the U.S. social safety net for the most vulnerable in the country.

And those budget cuts, it turns out, would be devastating to many of Trump’s supporters, especially those who live in red states, according to Andy Sullivan and Ally J. Levine of Reuters.

“Roughly two out of every three dollars is spent on pension, health care and other programs that provide tangible benefits to U.S. residents, meaning that any cutbacks could cause an outcry,” Sullivan and Levine explain.

Healthcare could be devastated, they note.

“Consider the Affordable Care Act, the healthcare expansion that was the signature accomplishment of Democratic President Barack Obama. Republicans vowed to roll back ‘Obamacare’ when Trump was first elected in 2016, but they failed to do so. The program has dramatically grown since then.”

The largest programs that cost the most money are Social Security and Medicare, both of which Trump has promised not to cut, which means that administration bean counters will have to slash the budgets of programs that benefit the poorest Americans.

“Both the Medicaid health plan for the poor and the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program, which helps pay for groceries, tend to play a bigger role in Democratic-leaning states. But cutbacks in these areas also would hit hard in poor, conservative states like Louisiana.”

Attempting to balance the budget on the backs of the poor isn’t exactly a new idea for Republicans. They’ve been actively trying to cut social programs that help raise people out of poverty as far back as the 1980s when Ronald Reagan demonized “welfare queens” suggesting that many who received benefits were too lazy to work and preferred to stay home and collect a government check.

But what about the children, disabled, elderly, and veterans who are also helped by such programs? Are Trump and the GOP willing to watch as they are tossed into the streets and starve to death? Considering that the Republican Party is now controlled by predatory capitalists like Musk, don’t be surprised if it happens and millions die.

REVEALED: Young Trump Aide Tells Him In Fawning Screeds, ‘You Are All That Matters To Me’

 

Though you’ve probably never heard of her, Natalie Harp is a 33-year-old former “anchor” at the right-wing One America News Network who is now primed to secure a job as part of the next Trump administration, largely, it appears, because he writes him fawning missives telling him that he’s the only thing in the world that matters to her.

That’s according to a report from the New York Times, which notes that Harp was suffering from bone cancer in 2019 when Trump signed the Right to Try law that allowed her to receive experimental treatment for the illness. She was also invited to speak at the 2020 Republican National Convention.

Since leaving her gig at One America News, Harp, who has been dubbed the “human printer” for feeding positive media reports to Trump, has also managed much of his formal correspondence and social media presence.

Oh, and Harp also writes mash notes to Trump in which she declares her undying loyalty to him.

“You are all that matters to me,” Harp proclaimed in one of the letters. “I don’t ever want to let you down.”

Harp refers to Trump as her “Guardian and Protector in this Life.”

Not creepy enough? As you can see from her photo, Harp also bears more than a passing resemblance to Trump’s daughter, Melania, whom he once said he had sexual thoughts about when she was only 13 years old.

The president-elect refers to Harp as “sweetie” and treats her like a daughter, insiders told the Times.

In another letter, Harp told Trump,  “I want to bring you joy, to feel like we can get through a day without ever having to talk ‘work.’”

However, Harp might want to watch her back no matter what job she manages to secure when Trump takes office in January, because other staffers are said to be worried about some of the data she gives to him that he later spouts in public without bothering to fact-check it first.

Then again, Trump has never been big on facts or reality. All he wants is to have his massive ego stroked. That’s one role that Harp appears to fulfill to cult member perfection.

Trump Supporters Threaten ‘10 Times Worse’ Than Jan. 6 If He Loses Again

If indeed Donald Trump becomes a two-time loser when the votes are counted later this evening, this country may not yet be free of his malevolent influence because some of his most devoted supporters are already threatening to stir up trouble.

Mother Jones editor David Corn recently spoke with Trump/MAGA acolytes at a rally the disgraced ex-president held in Reading, Pennsylvania, and many Trumpers said they won’t sit by quietly if their hero goes down in defeat.

“So if he doesn’t win, what do you think the reaction’s going to be?” Corn asked a supporter.

“Civil riot, civil war.”

Corn then asked, “Are you going to be a part of that?”

“Yeah, absolutely,” the supporter replied.

“In what way?” Corn inquired.

“I’m not talking anymore!”

Another Trump devotee revealed that he had done prison time for illegally entering the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and was eager to do so again.

“Will there be another January 6th?” Corn asked.

“It probably would be worse,” the man answered. “It would probably be ten times worse.”
