To prosper in MAGAstan, one no longer needs to be talented or intelligent. They also don't need an

education or special training and they don't need to be hard workers.

You see, all a person needs to rise to the top---socially, economically, politically---is to pay attention to what the MAGA headliners really hate. And then, that ambitious moral pygmy need only find a way to express that same hatred in a way that makes a big splash.

If the PTB hate Democratic leaders, find a forum with news coverage and SCREAM that you DEMAND they be hung---of better yet BEHEADED!

If they repeatedly bash people of color or JEWS or LGBTQ folks, found a group of thugs to intimidate or beat or kill these folks. Of course you never actually harm anyone; you just motivate others to do that. And, preferably, give your mob some catchy "macho" name.

If they support American adversaries bent on destroying democracy, insist that those very adversaries are the "real" small-d democrats and the big D Democrats are nazis.

In general, doing or saying anything that a decade ago would have been considered outrageously unAmerican will put you on the express elevator to the top of MAGAdom.

So, don't break a sweat---just get your hate on!

That she and her brand of idiot hatemonger are part of our national legislature is an indictment of our society.

People who can not fit in in any other group can always wrap them in the flag and the church. The right wing movement is the country club for losers.
