Mangy comments at the Youtube page:

Mangy Fetlocks has noticed certain traits and behaviors that seem universal among adherents to the MAGA movement. For those who wish to become MAGAts (but have not sustained any serious head injury or possess a profound personality disorder) Mangy wrote this song to outline some of the basic tenets every good, blindly-obedient MAGAt needs to master.

Dis Coarse Discourse, Reprise 0

Retired attorney, judge, and a 24-year veteran of the Kansas Army National Guard Thomas Arnhold reveals what he has learned about himself from Republican campaign ads in Missouri. For example:

I am a despicable human, and I am an enemy of the country. The announcers and politicians speak of those not siding with them in a tone that drips with disdain and venom. Apparently, people like me are bent on turning the United States into a cesspool.

What’s in a Name? 0

Boston University Professor Joshua Pederson offers a theory as to why Donald Trump continually and (apparently) intentionally mispronounces Kamala Harris’s first name (and, note, it is not a difficult name to pronounce). Here’s a bit from his article:

His mispronunciation, then, is a not-so-subtle message about power and control. Don’t worry, he’s saying to his acolytes. She doesn’t get to say who she is; I do. This is how mispronunciation goes from microaggression to macroaggression. And Trump is making it seem OK.

Dis Coarse Discourse 0

And, just as Rebecca Watson predicted, dis coarse discourse gets even coarser.

A meeting of the Souderton Area School Board in Montgomery County, Pa. was abruptly canceled after parents demanded the board address a lewd comment a board member allegedly made regarding Vice President Kamala Harris.

The outrage surrounding William Formica came after an alleged comment on a social media post.

He’s accused of writing that Kamala Harris performed a sex act in response to a question about the vice president’s political accomplishments.

One more time, “social” media isn’t.
