Checkmate: On Kirk, MAGA, and the Wrong Side of History

I’ve stumped more than a few non-Christian, pro-Kirk folks with one simple question. They’ll say, “Well, he wasn’t that divisive” or “He had a few good points.” And I just respond:

“I know you’re not Christian, so please enlighten me — what exactly did he say that you liked?”

Cue the deer-in-headlights look.

Silence. Blinking. One even admitted, “Well, I guess I need to do a little more research on my opinions.” Imagine that—someone realizing in real time that they’ve been parroting talking points without ever actually examining them.

This is the Achilles’ heel of MAGA and the far-right fringe: accountability.

When the mirror is held up, they’re blindsided by their own lack of substance and the actual truth. They can’t defend their positions beyond empty slogans, memes, or the daily Faux News rage cycle. It’s all vibes, no facts. And honestly, that’s more than I can say for their figurehead, the Mango Mussolini himself.

A real president unites the country. This one? He’s too busy sowing the seeds of hate and discord,  wiping his ass with the Constitution, and at the end of the day, calling it all leadership.

What blows my mind is not just the cult-like loyalty, but the sheer willingness to be remembered on the wrong side of history.

And before anyone tries to clap back with, “Well, what do you mean by the wrong side of history?” — let’s be real. Find me a time in history when the people banning books were the heroes. You can’t. Book banners are always the villains. That’s not debate; that’s checkmate.

Voting has consequences. 

We’re living them.

And right now it feels like watching a slow-motion collapse of an empire — America rotting from the inside while too many are distracted by culture wars, fearmongering, and empty promises.

Rome didn’t fall in a day either, but it fell.

So yeah, wake the fuck up, MAGA. Stop hiding behind bumper-sticker patriotism and start owning the reality you’re propping up. Because when history looks back on this moment — and it will — nobody’s handing out medals for banning books, spewing hate, or following authoritarian clowns off a cliff.

Point. Match. Checkmate.
