Dear Editor:

 

The things MAGA voters hate(d) about America:

 

  • Too many government programs feeding starving people.
  • Too much government help for people with medical problems.
  • Too much government help for single mothers.
  • Too much freedom for women in family planning.
  • Veterans are being coddled; get rid of programs helping them.
  • Not enough criminals in government jobs.
  • Too much government effort aimed at cleaner water and air.
  • Too much government effort ensuring safer prescription drugs and consumer products.
  • We don’t need National Parks; give over that land to oil, mining, and logging.
  • Government attention to things like weather and disaster relief … unneeded!
  • The Post Office has to go!
  • Not enough billionaires making decisions for all Americans.
  • Too many experienced government workers providing services.
  • America too open to immigration; seriously, we need closed borders.
  • Law and Order was not being conducted with favor towards Republicans and Trump supporters; it should be weaponized to instill fear in “unfavored” minorities: Democrats, media, judges, and anyone daring to criticize Trump.
  • Not enough pardons for felons who were only doing Trump’s bidding.
  • Criminals should have no right to ‘due process.’ Actually, CITIZENS should have no rights at all, if the ‘administration’ deems them ‘enemies.’
  • Our national debt and deficits were not nearly high enough.
  • The stock market needed to be pulled down, along with retirement funds.
  • Education needs to be privatized, and to emphasize religious teachings. Property taxes to pay for schools can be eliminated; Parents should foot the bill for their own kids … or NOT. If schools become too expensive, we need unskilled manual laborers, too.
  • Not enough menial, repetitive, very low paying manufacturing jobs.
  • Taxes on our wealthiest and largest corporations were too high; what’s needed is maybe $5 Trillion wealth redistribution UP to the very top.
  • The gap between the poor and the rich needs exponential expansion.
  • Unions raise wages for workers and provide workplace protections; they need to be ELIMINATED once and for all.
  • Gay and Trans people need to shut up and return to “the closet”.
  • America needs to concentrate on the only discrimination that matters: discrimination against straight white Christian males (see: Trump’s cabinet and most every corporate boardroom).
  • Foreign nations were buying WAY too much of our farm output.
  • Pay for top government workers … President, Supreme Court Justices, Cabinet officials … is WAY too low: they should sell as much influence as possible to billionaires and foreigners in order to supplement their incomes.
  • The Constitution is obsolete; democracy, rights, liberty, and civil protections favor ‘Radical Leftist Lunatics’ and should be eliminated.
  • Consumer prices were too high; Trump is imposing tariffs that will raise prices even higher, but that’s OK because he’s cutting the USA off from any ‘globalism’ … except for all HIS holdings in foreign lands.

 

These are just a few of the things MAGA voters wanted corrected in America, and it should be noted that Donald Trump is indeed doing his best to correct all these things (and even MORE), and impose the kind of strongman control that MAGA voters prefer (freedom and democracy are a failed experiment).

 

Only the courts now are standing in the way of a complete sweeping away of all the “old ways,” and relegating our “Founding Fathers” to the dust bin. We can finally enjoy autocracy like all the dictatorships in history and in the world that Trump and his supporters so admire. The problem with freedom is that your neighbors get to have it, too! The MAGA mindset prefers domination to freedom. We’re almost there, folks!
