Jesus asks his listeners, “Why do you notice the splinter in your brother’s eye, but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own?” “How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me remove that splinter in your eye,’ when you do not even notice the wooden beam in your own eye? You hypocrite!”
MAGA is making a name for itself seeing splinters and beams. But they do not know which is which. Ads suggesting, ‘You did not vote for this’ may not grasp the depravity that is MAGA. White evangelical MAGA did indeed vote for this. They voted to turn a blind eye to a beam, while they voted to see a splinter. Thus, MAGA see a beam where there is only a splinter of perverse books in their school libraries, retribution against whites, and evil immigrant criminals invading at the U.S.’ southern border. MAGA see a splinter of Trump’s infidelity where there are beams upon beams of depravity that is Trump’s sexual perversion evident in his ownership of Miss Universe-Miss USA-Miss Teen USA when he would use the girls and make the girls available for his friends to use, five pedophiles among them, including Jeffery Epstein, and now pedophiles like the Tate Brothers who Don Jr., Elon Musk, and Matt Gaetz admire as does Trump’s special envoy Richard Grenell who took the child sex-trafficking and rape accused brothers from a Romanian jail to safety in Florida, and that makes MAGA complicit with the perversity of sex trafficking. MAGA see a splinter of a cutthroat businessman in Trump where there are beams upon beams of depravity that is Trump’s retribution against middle class tenants and workers and activists who opposed his commercial holdings, including those he was holding in his bathroom, and so he is amassing Brownshirts at the CIA, FBI, Dept of Justice, local law enforcement, and military to exact retribution on citizens and noncitizens alike who oppose his commercial holdings for Greenland’s minerals, Ukraine’s minerals, and the Gaza Strip so that if these areas too need to be cleared of their tenants and workers and activists then that too will be done, and that makes MAGA complicit with ethnic cleansing. MAGA see a splinter of recklessness in Trump where there are beams upon beams that are Trump’s criminal invasions by military airstrikes of Somalia, Yemen, Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan killing and demonizing their people while he befriends their tyrant rulers who also invade borders so that America First will play second fiddle to Russia or Israel, like Italy’s Mussolini did to Germany’s Hitler, and therefore a new Axis arrangement will exist for the world to overcome, and that makes MAGA complicit with global tyranny and possibly a WW III. MAGA see a beam in leftist liberal splinters waging war on culture. MAGA do not see the beams upon beams of depravity in the oligarch sociopaths waging war on humanity. The sociopaths may decide to wage their war in the open, or, they may decide they need a Reichstag fire to burn it all down and complete their coup.
“Twelve fires burning: in amongst them stood twelve Brownshirts, quite a squad. … In the house… lived a person, name of Goering… Chairman of the Reichstag. (Prosecutors) won’t cross-examine Goering… for the (people’s) guilt is clear. Likewise for Roman Caesar Nero, Christian blood was to his taste so he set his Rome a-blazing soon in ash and fire effaced. Thus he proved it, Caesar Nero, (it was) Christians, villains one and all, and a certain Hermann Goering learnt of this when he was small. 1933 one Monday night in Berlin town Reichstag had no further meetings for its house had been burnt down.” (Murder Ballad Of The Reichstag Fire – Bertolt Brecht)
