The fact is, 33% of this country would let Hershel Walker do brain surgery on their kin. The longer we wait to push back on this MAGA cult of anti-government, anti-Enlightenment, anti-science, and antisocial ignorance and malice, the harder it will be to ever prevail over it. We need to start somewhere, and fanciful notions of salvation coming from fairness doctrines, rank-choice-voting, or other silver bullets are just pissing up the rope. We need something immediate, noisy, and effective.
MAGA could be mostly about hate. Maybe we give them something else to hate. Maybe we show them that political pundits are traitors who create division and outrage to steal attention.
Maybe we start a movement against pundit thugs on all sides.
