It continually amazes me that people can’t figure out how we got here. There is one and only one answer: “Rupert Fucking Murdoch.” His media empires have literally destroyed the civilized world and no one wants to confront that reality because it’s just too easy an answer for people who want to think it must be more complicated. But it’s not. Take he and his demon spawn, Roger Aisles, out of the last 30 years, and we’d be a very different world today. 1/2

You may think this is the dumbest thing anyone has ever Tweeted, but that just tells me you’ve never seen the rest of this nitwit’s timeline. @RealSpitfire is the perfect example of just how wretchedly stupid and mean spirited these MAGA woman can be.

I look for the symbols of wealth inequality in places others don’t. Who the fuck spends $824 on a minimalist bathroom sink faucet, except private equity douche nozzles trying to impress their friends with how much money they can burn on things nobody needs.

Thanks for being the first one to comment. I was actually going to propose 4 months ago in a document I wrote that we should start referring to MAGA this way and start taking the word away from them. No one likes to be called “gullible”. Repeat no one,
