This has to be the most prescient faux MAGA sales pitch ever [View all]

This is from the early 2000s I think; at least, that's when I first encountered it, so pre-MAGA, probably pre TEA Party but if you can debase your mind far enough into a MAGA mindset and read this on face value, this is exactly the Republicans' sales pitch since 2016.

You see, we're old-fashioned. We want to go back to the old days, the days of white people, before women. The days of owning, and building, and having. Having things clean, and big, and smooth, and fast! Return with us now, won't you? To a world where people did whatever they wanted, and minded their own business. A world where everything had a purpose: yours. The world you meant to make, before the Negative People took over. The people who say no, and bad, and stop, and different, and small. The people who are negatives of you, and you know what color that is! The. people who want to start by tearing down, instead of starting like us, by building up! Who are we?
