The self-owning begins. [View all]

It had to happen eventually,

MAGAT fans of Cracker Barrel turn on the company for changing its logo. The logo dropped the old man and the whip. Problem is - MAGATs are the Cracker Barrel consumer base. The rest of us are pointing and laughing.

Today the MAGATs are celebrating the resignation of the CEO of Target. "Woke means broke." The trouble is, the company turned its back on all its woke merchandise and HR policies a year ago, resulting in boycotts. But wait, the Fox News viewers kept boycotting it too. So everybody stopped going to Target, which, I hate to say this - MAGAT country depends on Target more than I do.

Meanwhile it's August and all the people who pick our food are being deported. And somehow those "34 million able-bodied people on Medicaid" just haven't shown up to work in the fields. Because - surprise! - it's actually skilled labor and very hard work and most people can't do it. (And most people on Medicaid aren't able-bodied either.)

At this point everything the MAGATs do hurts them much more than it hurts us.

When MAGA punches down they punch themselves in the face.
