MAGA people are sick. The MAGAt in Chief is selling Alligator Alcatraz "merch". How sick does one have to be to want to sport a beer koozie or tee shirt that says Alligator Alcatraz? You are literally sporting your support for a concentration camp, for dehumanization and cruelty. It is like the sick, antisemitic tee shirts that some of the Jan. 6th seditious insurrectionists sported, saying things regarding the Holocaust that I won't even repeat/give oxygen to on my page. Sick, dehumanizing, othering. That's MAGA and MAGAmerica, the name that came to me this weekend for this new, heartless, cruel, terrifying country we find ourselves citizens of. MAGAmerica killed--murdered--my country, America.
There is nothing to be proud of about Alligator Alcatraz. NOTHING. It's a crime against humanity, and totally against American laws aplenty. Have we learned nothing from slavery, Japanese American internment camps, McCarthyism, and the treatment of Native Americans? That is all part of our own history here in this country. Have we learned nothing from the Holocaust? About othering? About xenophobia and scapegoating? About the banality of evil? EVIDENTLY NOT, if we are kidnapping people, including 4-year-old American citizens with cancer, not affording people any due process, shipping hundreds to a concentration camp in El Salvador, and also creating our own concentration camp meets reality TV show, Alligator Alcatraz, in which to put kidnapped humans and intentionally torture them by surrounding them with the intense heat, fatal-disease-carrying mosquitoes, pythons, alligators and hurricanes of the Everglades, with nothing but a tent between all of the above and the people?
Oh, look honey, we are entering MAGAmerica, see the welcome sign? Look, there it is:
"Welcome (only no one is, other than white, Evangelical Christians) to MAGAmerica! We are the xenophobia and othering capital of the world! Where your tee shirt can say "Alligator Alcatraz", to show your pride in one of our most sensational concentration camps! Where you can carry a machine gun and not pay taxes, because society is for suckers! It's every man, woman and child for themselves here, wu hu HUUUUUUUUUUUUU, the south is going to rise again! 47 was sent by God to make everything perfect for "us" by getting rid of any and all "thems", eliminating taxes, and allowing guns galore! And if this welcome sign is too wordy for you, don't worry, you don't have to learn to read, that's for the "elites", and we have abolished the Department of Education, 'cause who needs it? Alligator Alcatraz, wu hu HUUUUUUUU!"
Like I said, MAGAts are sick, sick, cruel people. And they've remade this country in their terrible image.
