MAGA was on trial in a courtroom — its methods, its morality and the means it uses to escape the consequences of its dreadful acts. That’s because a “MAGA MAN” Rudy Giuliani was found guilty of terrible lies that election workers committed voter fraud. Giuliani’s lies had profoundly damaged her life.
The jury gave its answer: Giuliani now owes the election workers $148 million to compensate them for his cruel and obvious lies.
Make no mistake, MAGA was on trial in the courtroom — its methods, its morality and the means it uses to escape the consequences of its dreadful acts.
There are many MAGA Men and MAGA Women in the modern G.O.P. The names roll off the tongue. Mark Meadows, Jim Jordan, Kari Lake, Roger Stone, Marjorie Taylor Greene, John Eastman — the list could go on and on.
And while they all have different stories before Trump, they share variations of the same story after Trump. Giuliani’s story, MAGA’s story, is theirs as well.
The first thing you need to know about a MAGA Man like Giuliani is that he’s dishonest. Truthfulness is incompatible with Trumpism. Trump is a liar, and he demands fealty to his lies. So Giuliani’s task, as Trump’s lawyer, was to lie on his behalf, and lie he did. He even repeated his lies about Freeman and Moss — the same lies to which he’d already confessed — outside the courthouse during his trial.
A MAGA Man such as Giuliani supplements his lies with rage. To watch him pushing Trump’s election lies was to watch a man become unglued with anger. The rage merged with the lie.
The rage helped make the lie stick. Why would a man like Giuliani, former prosecutor and hero mayor, be so angry if he hadn’t discovered true injustice? MAGA Men and Women are very good at using their credibility from the past to cover their lies in the present.
MAGA Men and Women are not sorry for what he’s done. Instead, he feels biblically persecuted. They also knows that the base is religious and likes to hear its politicians talk about God. During the trial, Giuliani compared himself to Christians in the Colosseum, battling the lions like the martyrs of old.
Giuliani’s trial and verdict write another page in the volume of truth that tells the real story of MAGA America. Every voter should know exactly who Trump is and what his movement is like. They should know what happened to these election workers.
Your vote is a precious thing and should not be stolen by MAGA. Vote your values and that of the NABWMT.
