The Real Reason MAGA Fears Adam Mockler

Mike Nellis

Last week, my buddy Adam Mockler absolutely triggered and embarrassed CNN’s top MAGA talking head, Scott Jennings, over the war on Iran. He clowned him so badly on Trump’s war being a failure that Jennings dropped an F-bomb, throwing a temper tantrum on live national television.

And I’ve been thinking about why Adam, specifically, triggers these MAGA influencers so damn much. I go on right-wing media all the time—I get under their skin too. It’s easy to say they just can’t take a punch, that they’re threatened by anyone who pokes holes in their worldview. That’s true. But with Adam, it feels more specific.

It’s his age.

We’re watching another disastrous conflict in the Middle East unfold—one that hasn’t 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.

Here’s the reality: the same people who’ve failed us for decades want another forever war, and they want his generation to go fight it. Because it’s not going to be them or their kids. So why would they care?

This is a dead end. Plenty of young people are in the MAGA camp, plenty of seniors are not.

It's only the other side's young people where age is important.

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."

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.
