The Real Reason MAGA Fears Adam Mockler
Mike Nellis
Last week, my buddy Adam Mockler absolutely triggered and embarrassed CNNs top MAGA talking head, Scott Jennings, over the war on Iran. He clowned him so badly on Trumps war being a failure that Jennings dropped an F-bomb, throwing a temper tantrum on live national television.
And Ive been thinking about why Adam, specifically, triggers these MAGA influencers so damn much. I go on right-wing media all the timeI get under their skin too. Its easy to say they just cant take a punch, that theyre threatened by anyone who pokes holes in their worldview. Thats true. But with Adam, it feels more specific.
Its his age.
Were watching another disastrous conflict in the Middle East unfoldone that hasnt made you safer, your groceries more affordable, or health care more accessible. And the same failed leaders who pushed us into Iraq are now out here carrying water for Trump and selling this war.
Heres the reality: the same people whove failed us for decades want another forever war, and they want his generation to go fight it. Because its not going to be them or their kids. So why would they care?

Kid Rock and Ted Nugent can say whatever they want, but the Dixie Chicks need to "shut up and sing." So much for "who cares what Hollywood thinks."

(4,065 posts)I noticed Adam Mockler going on and on about "boomers." Back in the 60s I argued against the "don't trust anyone over 30" nonsense and I feel the same way today.
Do seniors tend to vote Republican? Yes. Wealthy white people live longer than the rest of the population and wealthy white people tend to vote Republican. All of my friends were left wingers and they are all dead.
