MAGA Americans Stand Somewhere Between “Impose Our Will” and “I Am Your Retribution”

Trump’s 2024 Presidential pronouncement is, wait for it, wait for it, boom! “I am your retribution!” – Flip the two-headed wooden nickel, and DeSantis’s proclamation is “We will impose our will!” DeSantis’s Florida is what happens when hate is left to flourish.

DeSantis: 2024 “Make America Florida!”

And wait, Merrick Garland’s Department of Justice has been dragging their cowboy boots, not wanting to offend MAGA America, – afraid of insulting the MAGA/KKK wing of Trump’s neo-confederate cult. Didn’t want to appear biased.

Are you kidding?

What a chilling prospect that is!

Either way, if either one becomes President, something insidious will emerge. Something devilish and insidious arises!

These dark, dark, dark smoke signals rolled out across this no-longer seriously considered to be the United States of America, from trailer parks in Tennessee to suburbs in Boston and Austin. From barber shops in Mississippi to Country Clubs in Ohio and Montana. Ron DeSantis wants America, Trump’s America, to recognize that, if placed in the Oval Office, he’ll simply impose the will of his angry White Christian soldiers upon everyone, and ram it down our collective “Woke” throats, one way or another.

“Go Woke, Go Broke…” White supremacy in the 21st century.

“Woke” is Redneck-lish for anything people-of-color and enlightened, empowered White women agree with, believe in, and stand for. From the minimum wage to banning and burning books, to denying women the innate right to control their own bodies, to allow guns to be sold in 7-11s, to economically punishing Disney for having two Black princesses – Ariel and Tiana. If you don’t agree with their xenophobic agenda and their efforts to turn back the hands of time – then you are “Woke” – and you are the angry White person’s #1 enemy. The roar of hateful vengeance is loud!

Can I get an FDR quote? “They are unanimous in their hate of me, and I welcome their hatred.”

Somewhere between “imposing our will” and exacting “retribution,” stands the mainstream of White American society – and these two men are employing these – “Fightin’” words. They are crafted to be a retro/vintage country & western musical, think Green Acres or Beverly Hillbillies meets Dallas and Dynasty. These are words of tyrannical power, carefully, but recklessly chosen and expertly tailored to the ears of the rank-and-file proud rednecks. Trump’s base, the pro wrestling and monster truck crowd, it’s a virtually all White “Right” striving for “minority rule.” How horrifically scary is that?

“I am your retribution” is Trump’s way of telling half-mad neo-Confederates that he is the vengeful, bloody “payback” they seek. Only he will right the wrongs of Dr. King’s and LBJ’s civil rights era advancements. Because, check it: what most people see as human and civil progress, White men see as cases where they lost societal control, “gave away” and “conceded” power they never, ever should have. “Real”? White dudes blame the weak, meek, spineless snowflake liberals, the Hippies and Flower Children who were guilted into sharing the American Dream with those once considered merely, and only “the help.”

Yes, society-wide evolution, achieved through a revolution, those are the advancements, i.e., infringements on WASP-entitled privileges mainstream USA wants to erase. Trump’s goal, their goal: “take back America and make it White again. 1964 White.

Gee, things were so swell, so great when White men ran roughshod over everyone like gangsters.

Speaking of gangsters: Trump may very well be incarcerated when he’s sworn in as President. He could be behind bars. Think NWAs’ “We Want Eazy” video. “The Don” would be sporting a “classic” black and white striped convict business suit, a long red tie rolling over his belly, and that signature flaming cockatoo pompadour… behind bars, inmate #666.

We want Donn-E! We Want Donn-E!

Trump’s base longs for a “king” who is the very embodiment of impertinence and brutality: impudent, blasphemous, discourteous, irreverent, insubordinate, ill-mannered, brazen, brash, shameless, pert, defiant, outrageous, and shocking. A “strongman” who is so brass-necked, cocky, lippy, mouthy, fresh, and flip – that it would make any “darkie” quake in terror….

The tyrannical MAGA forces of bigotry seek to relegate Black and Brown people to the back of the aircraft – the cramped seats in the nether regions near the lavatories – the last 4 rows. Whatever cruel ideas race through the minds of Donald Trump’s troops, it’s beyond imagination, for no insult could measure up to the medieval-mindedness these self-righteous zealots want to impose upon the “Left.”

I’m not the trusting type. At birth, I made the doctor show me his license before he slapped me on the behind – so, I just cannot trust these flawed, and conflicted men with audacious Presidential power.

Either way, the “Right” will mercilessly impose retribution upon their enemies and whether we want to admit it or not, we, yes, you and I, are their sworn enemies. Wake up!
