MAGA is at each other’s throats in the aftermath of the brutal blue tsunami that washed Republicans out to sea, and Bulwark editors Sam Stein and Will Sommer are apparently here for it.
“You it’s getting rough when they’re on like the fourth quote tweet, where it’s like “I’ll tell you what I think,” said Sommer, reading vicious exchanges between MAGA pundits on X.
“Mark Levin is a moron. And heavily contributed to the devastating losses suffered last night by republicans,” posted Rep. Nancy Mace on Z, speaking of the MAGA podcaster.
“S— you washed up political loser,” posted Levin in response on X. “You’re angry because you’ll actually have to now work for a living. You’re one of the most mentally unhinged POS to ever be in Congress. We lost last night for many reasons, including because of useless, self-promoting, do-nothings like you. Good riddance, crackpot.”
“You know, Etiquette would be just to reply. You don’t want everyone to see [post quotes],” advised Stein. “Just reply. It’s easier to consume that way. These are all adults, presumably, and they’re just out there throwing as many haymakers as they can, calling each other [names] and wishing they’d die. You wouldn’t talk like this to anyone in real life.”
The two then turned to the online lamentation of MAGA influencer likes Laura Loomer, who critics say holds undo influence in the White House, sometimes ending whole political White House careers by whispering into President Donald Trump’s ear.
“Sadly now, it’s too late and America is over,” posted Loomer on X the day after the Democrat wave. “Plan for your survival. Stock up on supplies, finalize your will in case massive political violence erupts, and temper the expectations of your children and grandchildren who will never know the American Dream. Make sure your children have food and shelter, but aside from that, most people’s kids are not going to have a future full of aspirations.”
“We are going to watch our country implode in the next five years,” she continued. “Eight jihadi candidates will now be headed to Congress after last night’s election. They will take their oath of office on the Quran, which explicitly causes for the killing of non-Muslims. They will have access to classified information and they will leak that information to America’s enemies and sleeper cells in our country who will without a doubt work to kill Americans. I’m glad that I was able to predict America’s future because it gave me time to plan. But aside from just trying to stay alive every single day, most Americans will not be experiencing much joy in the coming future. If you think things are bad now because gas is a dollar more expensive, you are in for a serious rude awakening.”
“Oh, my God. ‘Just Let me die,’ basically,” said Stein, describing her post. “Are people trying to talk her off the ledge? This kind of looks like a cry for help.”
“She tends to go to a dark place anyhow,” said Sommer. “She made statements during past Republican defeats where she’s said, ‘I can’t have a family. I’ve destroyed my life for Donald Trump’ …. So, she’s one who kind of puts the pathos out there a little more than most.”
“It makes sense that she’s out of reach, but she’s not the only one,” said Stein, who then quickly added that her “foe, Marjorie Taylor Greene, is clearly having the time of her life because she gets to say ‘I told you so.”
And MTG did just that, posting an AI image of herself holding court as a queen while Loomer bawls her eyes out behind her.
“Good morning, everyone. Except Laura Loomer,” posted MTG on X. “An insane woman, two-time congressional loser, who has zero real life experience. Yet Natalie Harp somehow helped Laura become Trump’s crazy train late-night advisor. Make her the press secretary! Make her chief of staff! Give Laura something! Please entertain me!”
Other MAGA entertainers, however, like far-right influencer Nick Fuentes, appeared to cry into their beers.
“I love winning,” Fuentes, mewled on X, Tuesday night as results began rolling in of Republican defeat after another.
“The knives are out on the right and It’s all out pleasure to look at it,” said Sommer.
