More slogans for Trump’s MAGA faithful

“Drill, Baby, Drill” is the chant of anti-science Trumpian climate change deniers who attack and lie about important and necessary green energy.

Trump and his MAGA minions have have even more catchy phrases to share:

“Burn, Baby, Burn” defines their decision to decimate the states’ ability to fight wildfires.

“Chop, Baby, Chop” is their plan to destroy old-growth forests for corporate greed.

“Slash, Baby, Slash” is what they are doing to any programs that benefit the sick, the hungry, the poor, the elderly, the disabled, children, veterans, and even MAGA farmers..

“Scam, Baby, Scam” describes the endless and shameless grifting of Trump, his family and friends.

“Smear, Baby, Smear” is what they do to anyone, any group or any institution that believes in and defends democracy.

“Lie, Baby, Lie” is what they say about anyone and everything all of the time.

“Die, Baby, Die” is what has happened and will happen to the unvaccinated under Trump and RFK Jr.’s ignorant and dangerous rule fueled by absolutely nutty conspiracy theories.

“Putt, Baby, Putt” is for the putz who pretends he wants to cut government waste but in mere months has blown unbelievable millions of our tax money to fly to his own golf courses.

As for you, struggling MAGA farmer, he’s not inviting you on Air Force One. That invite is only for the likes of Jeff Bezos who will Kneel, Baby, Kneel before the Pumpkin King.
