#MAGA has nnnnnnever been about 1 dude.

#Trump was really powerful and exactly what we needed, when we needed it. I standby most of his presidential decisions as well as my 2020 vote for him.. I mean, with all that #Biden's doing/not doing, who couldn't? 🙂

But if you've listened to Trump over the course of the last year, he has not been what we needed, when we needed it. Though purported to be anti #VaccineMandate and #VaccinePassports, he only says so as a dismissive, quiet afterthought.

👇

In his speeches/appearances, he spends 5 minutes talking about how amazing the vaccine is and how he/it has saved millions of lives, then gives a quick vibe of, "oh, yeah, but it should be up to, I guess, or whatever.... but it's a miracle of modern science!"

👇

Not just that, but buildings OWNED BY HIM in #NYC are requiring masks and vaccine papers. He's got the money and the balls to say a big fuck you, but he doesn't.. why?

Is it the $2M+ he got from #pharma to run in 2020? Is it the old adage that "power corrupts"? I don't know.

To use a Patrice O'Neal analogy, groups of people are like The Super Friends. Everybody has a different, but necessary part to play. You wouldn't ask Superman to talk to dolphins and you wouldn't ask Aquaman to scale tall buildings in a single bound.

👇

We all have unique gifts, and Trump put his gifts to good use for our purposes.

The personalities in this movement are tools (in the good way 🙂). Trump was the perfect tool for us to get more of our voices heard and more of our policies enacted....

👇

But his pharma shilling and relative silence around the segregation, firing, coercion, and force that's been happening this year may be a sign that it's time for us to hang up his jersey.

I'm not saying I'm behind any 2024 candidate at this point, but..

👇

..Trump, through his behavior, has not maintained my vote.

According to a poll @thekangminlee did yesterday, it looks like he hasn't maintained many other peoples' votes either.

If you disagree, I love you anyway.
