MAGA Republicans & Their Billionaires Are WHY America Isn't The Greatest Nation

There's a warning sign on the road ahead. There's a lot of people saying we'd be better off dead. Don't feel like Satan, but I am to them. So I try to forget it any way I can - Neil Young

America must embrace the traditional masculinity of right-wing incels
living in their parents' basement, and reject the soft and feminine
lifestyles of professional football players who protest social
injustice.

I now believe that some of my problems in later life are due to food
dye in the heroin I was consuming for 20 years.

Pediatricians say that childhood vaccines are safe. A heroin-addled
nepo baby with a brain worm says they may not be. For busy voters, it
can be hard to know who to believe.

I lost my job, my wife has been deported, and I'm out of toilet paper.
But at least I know now that my kids will learn that slavery wasn't
really that bad.

Cliff’s Note: In Fact, Treasonous Trump Toadies Have Made Us Not Even Good Anymore

Scott Jennings, CNN’s resident MAGA ventriloquist dummy who looks like he was birthed in yacht slippers and khakis, recently puffed up his chest on air, declaring America the greatest country on Earth. I mean, sure, one can recite a simple GOP slogan, like “I’m a follower of Jesus” or “family values,” but that doesn’t make it true. In fact, Scotty-boy and his phalanx of lunatic funders, friends and enablers have gutted the very foundations of any greatness we’ve ever had.

Republicans have slashed education funding, leaving schools scrambling and students drowning in debt. They've proposed cutting $880 billion from Medicaid, threatening healthcare for millions (RFK Jr. takes care of threatening the rest). Environmental protections? Gone, as they roll back regulations and defund agencies tasked with keeping our air and water clean.

So, when longtime McConnell-leg-humper, Jennings, and his irradiated ilk chant "USA! USA!" they're not celebrating American excellence—they wouldn’t know what that is if you painted it on their bodies just below their Trump-with-Rocky-musculature tattoos. No, it's a con, sleight of hand, a patriotic smokescreen to hide the fact their policies have destroyed everything that once made this country great.

So let me tell you why, in my humble opinion, America once possessed greatness.
