Today I’m going to write to my representatives in Congress and tell them to vote for the Big Beautiful Bill.
Why? Because the MAGA voter is hard-headed, and nothing but complete disaster is going to wake them up from their Trump-loving fever dream.
If economists and the CBO are to be believed, the Big Beautiful Bill will be devastating for the very people who voted Republicans into office. People will lose their healthcare. They’ll lose their jobs. Mortgage rates will go up. Prices for everyday items will rise. Rural hospitals will close. People will die.
A little bit of pain isn’t going to be enough. The MAGA base is really good at giving Trump a pass on every nutty thing he says and does. No, it needs to be total devastation, which, given enough time, the provisions of this bill should accomplish.
The Big Beautiful Bill probably won’t be enough to make them reconsider their membership in the MAGA cult, though. Therefore, I think it’s important for Republicans to retain control of the House and Senate in 2026.
We need four full years of unfettered GOP control and all the insanity that goes along with it. Maybe then MAGA voters will finally wake up and realize that voting for a monumentally corrupt TV personality and a bunch of corporate billionaires wasn’t the best move.
With that in mind, I’m thinking of voting for Republicans in 2026 — at least for all of the federal offices on the ballot.
Four full years of GOP control might be enough to wake people up. (I’m not counting on it. We seem to be a nation of complete idiots.)
Of course, after four years of Trump and the Heritage Foundation doing everything they can to turn America into an oppressive white supremacist theocracy, America as a democratic republic will be well and truly over.
But maybe you need to lose something in order to learn how much you value it.
