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.

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.”

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.

Enraged Trump Supporter Claims Schools Are Putting ‘Litter Boxes In The Bathrooms’

According to a supporter of failed former president Donald Trump, children are now “terrified” of going to school because there are “litter boxes in the bathrooms.

Before a Trump campaign rally in Flint, Michigan, Titus Smith of Right Side Broadcasting Network spoke with a woman who said she will vote for Trump so he can be “the voice for our children.”

“You can’t even protect them at school,” the woman claimed. “These kids are terrified.”

“They have put into litter boxes in the bathrooms and everything else, instead of teaching our kids,” she added. “It’s scary what’s happening.”

The Trump acolyte also said her kids are afraid to vote for Trump “because they’re so afraid of what people are going to think of them.”

“They are afraid of politics, completely afraid, because they don’t want to upset anybody,” she continued. “They want to vilify you and make you feel if you say something, what you believe to be true, what you know to be true, that you are the problem.”

The lie about litter boxes in schools began making the rounds among right-wing politicians who asserted that schools were installing litter boxes to accommodate students who identify as cats instead of human beings.

But as Harvard University research director Joan Donovan notes, “What’s most provocative about this hoax is how it turns on two key wedge issues for conservatives: educational accommodations and gender nonconformity.”

In other words, it’s bullshit created to suggest there’s a problem that doesn’t even exist. Then again, the GOP has become the party of conspiracy theories and lies, so it fits right into their bizarre strategy for getting the votes of gullible simpletons.
