MAGA Hates You. And They Hate This Country.

Mike Nellis

I wasn’t going to write about last night’s stupid UFC fight. I didn’t want to give it any more oxygen. But having caught up on the clips, the corruption, and the sheer stupidity of it all, I can’t let it go.

It would be easy to fixate on the most salacious parts. The offensive attack on Michelle Obama by one of these shameless, attention-seeking assholes. Trump paying the fighters in crypto. Eric Trump getting caught doing insider trading. The desecration of our sacred monuments. And so much more.

But I want to focus on a specific trend I’m noticing from the MAGA influencers being paid to pretend this was some undeniable act of patriotism — when in reality it was a bunch of weird rich assholes circle-jerking and congratulating themselves on how cool they are, getting the “common folk” to fight for their entertainment.

Because last night was the perfect reminder of who these people really are and what drives them.

giving a thumbs up or thumbs down at the end of each match, as the crowd went wild waiting for another gladiator execution.

Trump more and more reminds me of Tiberius as described by Tacitus. Pedophile friends, intense greed, years long grudges against his critics...except Tiberius wasn't that big a fan of gladiator matches.
