I live in a small MAGA town.
I know MAGA people. I drink with them. I talk to them. I study them.
They’re not the loud Twitter yappers, at least most of them. They’re quieter. Slower. But the delusion runs deep, just bottled up in passive smiles and soft voices.
A few weeks ago, one of them tried to convert me at a bar. He knew I wasn’t into the Trump cult, but he started soft. Calm voice. Friendly tone.
“Mario, you’re white. You can drink a lot, you eat meat, “he was just surprised that I was eating rare burger” and drinking vodka chasing it with Guinness. He also said, “You’re one of us. You should feel proud.”
That’s their seduction tactic.
Not facts. Not logic. Just subtle tribal grooming.
“You’re white. You drink. You belong.”
It was almost sweet, in a sad, culty way.
Like a Jehovah’s Witness trying to sell you eternal life with a shaky brochure and cheap suit.
But let’s talk about the whole ecosystem.
The truth.
MAGA men?
Most are not warriors.
They’re out-of-shape, insecure, jealous small-town boys who peaked in high school, still clinging to stories from when they “almost went pro” or “should’ve been in the military.”
They’re proud of being able to drink a case of light beer, drive a truck, and scream about freedom while their knees buckle from sugar and rage.
They’re easy to manipulate because they don’t ask questions.
They don’t read.
They react.
They memorize memes like scripture and repeat them like gospel.
They think being loud equals being right.
They think the world is laughing with them.
It’s not.
The world’s laughing at them, when it’s not just ignoring them entirely.
MAGA women?
They’re caught in a brutal paradox, constantly screaming about how proud and strong they are, while reshaping every inch of their body to meet a fake beauty standard pushed by the very system they claim to hate.
Plastic lips. Inflated cheeks. Eyelashes thick as windshield wipers.
Trying to look rich while shopping clearance at Walmart.
They scream about “natural family values” while injecting Botox and collapsing into MLM scams that promise empowerment through overpriced lipstick.
They mock liberals for being “gender confused” while wearing more synthetic parts than a Barbie made in a Russian factory.
Here’s the thing: MAGA America isn’t just backward.
It’s boring. MAGA folks are simply subsimple.
There’s nothing imaginative about it. No new culture. No innovation. No ideas.
They don’t invent, they imitate.
They don’t challenge, they chant.
It’s the same five phrases over and over.
The same flag. The same truck. The same outfit.
Patriot cosplay.
And that’s why the world doesn’t just hate MAGA.
It forgets it.
Because once the shouting stops, there’s nothing under the hood.
Just cheap beer breath, fake smiles, and a belief that whiteness and loudness are still enough to matter.
You want the brutal truth?
Even without Trump, even without the cult, most of them would still be irrelevant.
Not because they’re evil.
But because they chose comfort over growth.
Tribalism over truth.
Imitation over imagination.
They don’t want to understand the world.
They want the world to stay small enough to understand them.
And that’s the saddest, most humiliating part.

Thank you for welcoming me to the Akwesasne Cultural Center Library yesterday. I’m grateful for the thoughtful questions and personal stories so many of you shared.
This community deserves a representative who listens, shows up, and offers the respect it has earned. When we win, these conversations will stay with me, and I’ll be back.

Last year, I paid $2.67 for diesel. Today it’s $5.44. Everything we buy is more expensive.
Washington picked a trade fight with Canada and dragged us into a war in the Middle East, and Northern NY families are left footing the bill.
Anthony Constantino cheers it all on, no matter what it costs us.

Blake is a good candidate
for the district. Anthony is a mad man. Would be a delicious and shocking victory for Dems to win Stefaniks seat. Affordable media market if looking for a place for a late cash infusion. Been on this one for a while.
Dr. Jonker - @jsieds.bsky.social retweeted
While Anthony was flying drones over my barn, I was in small businesses and union halls across the North Country listening to people who can’t afford diesel, groceries, or a trip to a hospital that keeps cutting services.
That’s the difference in this race.
He’s running a reality show. I’m running to lower costs, protect rural healthcare, and clean up Washington. Republicans, independents, and Democrats are coming along because they’re tired of the circus.

Anthony Constantino sent people to my home and hired a private detective who flew drones over my farm and property. He’s made baseless claims about me and drummed up stories about illegal activity that have been proven false. He has attacked a former employee of mine and that employee’s family, including their sick child.
This behavior is unsettling, and with one month left in the campaign, it paints a grim picture of how Anthony intends to run this district. If this is how he treats people he disagrees with, what lengths will he go to once he has actual power? Is this the kind of leader you want representing you?
NY-21 deserves better. You deserve a representative who actually lives in this district, knows this district, cares about its people, and is focused on making life better for all of us. It’s time to send a farmer to Congress.

We are officially Red to Blue!
I grew up on a dairy farm in the North Country, where you learn early that cows don't take days off and neighbors always show up for each other.
That's the spirit that built this campaign, and Red to Blue is proof of how far it's carried us. I'm ready to bring that same work ethic to Congress for the families of NY-21, who are getting squeezed by rising costs.
The momentum is on our side, and we're not slowing down now.
Dr. Jonker - @jsieds.bsky.social retweeted
Every major forecaster has now moved NY-21 in our direction, and we just raised over $2 million this quarter.
That momentum comes from the farmers, nurses, veterans, and working families across Northern NY who want lower costs and hospitals that stay open.
People are tired of Washington games and ready for a representative focused on real results.

Don’t understand.
Not knowing stuff or better yet lying should let him fit right in.
NEW: Eric Schmitt’s general counsel Ethan Harper was expected to join the White House Staff Secretary’s office next week but the move’s now in doubt after yesterday’s Jack Smith hearing. Harper was the one holding up the board behind Schmitt.

September has been a busy month!
We’ve been meeting with teachers, seniors, union leaders, veterans, and hardworking families across the district.
Everywhere I go, I hear the same three things — lower our costs, save our rural healthcare, and work with anybody to get it done.
Thank you for sharing your stories. I’ll carry them through the next 34 days as we crisscross the district, and all the way to Washington.

As a dairy farmer, I know what's at stake when Washington gets it wrong. I'm running to be a voice for the hardworking families of this district. I understand firsthand how to lower costs from the farm gate to the dinner plate, and I'll fight to get it done.
It's time to send a farmer to Congress.

Today is our second day of harvesting, and diesel prices are hitting record highs.
Our leaders told us they were committed to lowering costs. Instead, this has been one of our most expensive harvest seasons yet.
Those added costs don’t stay on the farm, or trucking routes. They make their way to the grocery store right when families are already bracing for insane heating bills.
This needs to end. Time to send a farmer to Congress.
