Dead Whales And Donald Trump

MAGA Merges With Madness

If I may paraphrase an old trope, you'll buy anything if you believe in nothing. Broadly, MAGA believes in nothing beyond Trump's adulation, and so they’ve shed the last of the old conservative principles in their moment of panicked desperation and have found a new savior in Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. (D-Pet Sematery) even if it means metaphorically riding in a minivan with a decapitated whale head dripping cetacean ichor on your children.

Last Friday, RFK Junior, former Democrat, decapitator of dead whales, molester of bears, falconry enthusiast, and admitted former heroin and sex addict, left his independent presidential run in the dustbin of history and endorsed Donald Trump for president. MAGA’s reaction has been a spectacular of irony, a moment of revelatory madness that shows just how futile it has been for the gentry conservative media to paper over Trumpism (“I hate the tweets but love his policies” and “It’s a choice between Trump and full communism.”) and how much the elected class has beclowned themselves.
