MAGA: The Bigger Lie
Krugman's Blisteringly Accurate Description of American Conservatives - DailykosMeat, Freedom and Ron DeSantis - NY Times
On one level, this could be seen as a trivial story — a crackdown on an industry that doesn’t even exist yet. But the new Florida law is a perfect illustration of how crony capitalism, culture war, conspiracy theorizing and rejection of science have been merged — ground together, you might say — in a way that largely defines American conservatism today.
A Bigger Lie - Dailykos
Whatever (MAGA's) trumped up cause, the underlying purpose is always the same: to marginalize, disenfranchise, and discriminate against some perceived "other." To maintain control by enforcing selfish, fundamentalist, minority will and power upon the populace.

Trustee Reports Show Medicare, Social Security Must Be Defended From Trump
Trustee Reports Show Medicare, Social Security Must Be Defended From TrumpDonald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee to face Biden in November, "proposed cutting Social Security and Medicare every year he was in office, he's said repeatedly he would cut them, his allies openly plan to target them, and just this weekend he dismissed them as bribes," noted James Singer, a spokesperson for the Democrat's campaign.
"Let's be clear, Donald Trump will steal the hard-earned Social Security and Medicare benefits Americans have been paying into their entire lives and he'll use it to fund tax cuts for rich people like him," Singer warned. "President Biden keeps his promises. He has and will continue to protect Social Security and Medicare from MAGA Republican efforts to cut them—Donald Trump won't."

This review of the Berman's book, Minority Rule reveals how from the start, minority rule became entrenched into the fabric of our 'democracy' and subsequently, via the undaunted efforts of the conservative right, imposed upon the whole.
SOME of the FACTS detailed in the article include:
Forty Republican senators representing just 21% of the population have blocked bills on abortion rights, voting rights and gun control, all supported by a vast majority.
In six years, the Federalist Society raised $580 million through a secretive network of dark money 'nonprofits' to put preferred judges on the bench.
The result being that over 700 judges appointed by two Bushes and Donald Trump were HAND PICKED by the Federalist Society.
And 5 of the 6 conservative SCOTUS justices were also appointed by Republicans residents (yeah... I forgot the p) who lost the popular vote, and were then confirmed by senators representing a minority.”
The article also details how these right winged appointed judges went on to further FIX rules, laws, and even America's democratic institutions, in THEIR FAVOR... in order to further empower their minority rule.
And that's not the half of it:

“He’s gotten away with a lot for a long time, he’s been a fraudster for a long time, he’s been cheating people for a long time, he’s been lying for a long time and he’s actually been litigating for a long time.
“So yes, there is a two-tiered justice system, but not in the way that he thinks. He’s the beneficiary, absolutely ... the fact that he’s out in the world, that’s not normal for a lot of people.”
“he’s made it clear throughout his life that Black people are inferior, he believes that to his core, in his bones... but also when you hear some of the stray comments he makes, he clearly believes in a genetic hierarchy of humanity and is racially determined, so he is a tried and true, dyed-in-the-wool racist. In the core of his being, he’s a racist.
