The Idiocracy of Trumpamania
Hulk Hogan, Dana White and Kid Rock were the perfect intellectual warm-up acts for the toxic masculinity of Trump's dark, dystopian vision to end American democracy.
It is pointless to fact-check Trump's rambling, 90 minute acceptance speech. Key features were the expected regurgitation of MAGA's bigotry and resentments, Trump's self-aggrandizing lies and praise of authoritarian strong-men, and tirades completely devoid of any clear policy objective other than the mass deportation of millions of American workers. Everything you need to know about Trump's Republican Party is the convention highlight of pro-wrestler Hulk Hogan ripping off his shirt to reveal a Trump-Vance tank top to a cheering GOP crowd.
The Perfect Frankenstein's Monster
Trump's pick for VP, J.D. Vance, has deep connections to the ultra conservative Heritage Foundation, Project 2025 and rightwing tech billionaires.
J.D. Vance was the self-described "never Trump guy," who once called the former president "America's Hitler." Now he is Trump's running mate, a MAGA culture warrior, and now has the strong backing of anti-government tech bros and crypto billionaires like Peter Thiel and Elon Musk. Governor Tim Walz accurately described J.D. Vance as “the perfect Frankenstein monster created by the Heritage Foundation.”
