A natural extension of MAGA thought.

Allowing oneself to follow the "logic" of MAGA leads me to the following upcoming Executive Orders and statements.

- The distance of the deportation is determined by the degree of epidural pigmentation density.
- 1/10 tariff: for every $10 dollars paid for a chinese import, a person needs to do one push up.
- Senate Gerrymandering. All Red states will be divided into north south east and west:, each having 2 senators. Blue states will be combined: New Jersey/New York will now become New Jerk.
- The military will no longer defend blue states therefore Putin can use the residents to fight against Ukraine.
- Voting records will be admissible evidence in all federal crimes.
- Those voting blue will be provided pens with disappearing ink.
- Speech is no longer free, but it is on sale: normally $10,000/sentence, this month it is on sale for $4,999. Make checks payable to Drumpf and, until the check clears, shut the f… up.
- In lieu of rural hospitals, residents will be provided with reruns of Dr Oz’s show.
- It is now illegal to wear a bullet proof vest at a protest.

Wear a mask.

I've been trying to think of an appropriate and effective protest.

For the people facing ICE's denial of our freedom, wearing a mask denies them the ability to profile us based on the color of our skin.

Affordability and increased drumpf support corrolated in Mass.

Here are two diagrams from today's Boston Globe (first link). One button shows affordability. The lighter the area, the less affordable it is on average. (income lower vs cost of living). The right button shows the amount of increased support for drumpf. Darker counties had a higher increase in support. The counties that are less affordable had a larger increase in support for drumpf. This adds evidence to the idea that, for some people, it is about the cost of living. I'm sure that there are many others who have other interests such as racism and tax cuts for the wealthy. But for those few percentage points that changed their vote, this is evidence that it was about the cost of living.
