MAHA: Make America Hurt Again
Our country's health policy is now being written by conspiracy theorists, racists, anti-vaxxers and AI who will gladly profit off the preventable pain and suffering of millions of Americans.
Let’s flex our creative juices for a second and imagine what would happen if, say, a Democratic Senator or AOC would respond to a question about cuts to Medicaid and food stamps with the following quip: “Well, we're all gonna die.”
No need to imagine it because that’s what MAGA Senator Joni Ernst told a crowd with utmost sincerity and a smile. This is on the heels of RFK Jr., America's director of Health and Human Services, releasing the MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) Report, created partly by AI, that promotes junk science using fake citations, invented studies, and outright lies. They didn’t even have the decency of a desperate high school student to attempt to hide their plagiarism and shoddy work.
What else do you expect from the world’s most incompetent, ruthless, and reckless people who have failed up in the Trump Administration?
Thanks to their fidelity to conspiracy theories, grievance, and the grift, Americans will die from preventable deaths. Case in point: The Trump Administration decided to cancel a contract with Moderna to develop a bird flu vaccine for humans, even though there has already been at least one reported death. Earlier in the week, RFK Jr., a man with brain worms who is not a doctor and who promotes eugenics and swims in contaminated water, announced he was removing CDC recommendations for healthy women and healthy children to get Covid vaccines. Thankfully, the CDC decided to contradict RFK Jr. and announced on Thursday that they are still recommending the COVID-19 vaccine for kids.
Unfortunately, the damage has already been done as vaccine hesitancy has spiked, especially among Republican voters, and led to an outbreak of measles across the country. All of this was preventable, but white supremacy and the modern MAGA movement remain self-destructive and murderous. The New York Times just reported that Elon Musk was taking an assortment of drugs while he was wielding a chainsaw at the US government and dismantling critical institutions, such as USAID, which was a literal lifeline for marginalized children around the world. These cuts have already led to an estimated death of 300,000 children.
Just sit with that number for a moment and go back and hear Senator Ernst’s comments in your head: “Well, we're all gonna die.”
Well, they’ll be fine with their luxury jets, memecoins, $60K Rolex watches, and world-class healthcare. It’ll be the rest of us who will die as they profit off of our misery. MAGA is just getting started. They also want to gut $11 billion from America’s public health infrastructure and remove most regulations and safety standards so that our kids drink poisoned water.
There’s a reason why I’ve been referring to MAGA as a “pro-death cult,” and the MAHA report proves it.
In this week’s episode of Democracy-Ish, Danielle and I break down the report and how the world’s most incompetent people are hell-bent on killing the rest of us. Give us a watch.

Wajahat, what's really pathetic, is the lack of active demonstration by the democrats in the Senate. My wife and I participate in weekly rallies where thousands of people come out with homemade banners and placards protesting things like Mr. Brain Worms insanity. Why aren't our elected officials doing the same thing. What are they afraid of? A scolding from Lindsay Graham?
These two idiots…I won’t write what I am thinking, but those of you who know me have a pretty good idea what I’d say.
