These MAGA loons are even further gone than we thought

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

I don’t think I truly realized how unhinged Maga was until this week. Now that does not mean I didn’t know this particular cult was batshit crazy. But it’s the DEPTH of craziness. The Maga craziness isn’t just bobbing out to sea; it’s plunged through the depths to land at the very bottom of the ocean. That’s a whole lot of crazy.

So allow me, if you will to tell you about two incidents in the night that have shown me the true murky depths of Maga psychosis.

First incident — Earlier this week, I was on Twitter. And though I usually manage to avoid it, somehow, I found myself in earnest conversation with a Maga. This particular Maga wanted to have a name-calling fight with me. He actually did so, adding that he is the champ of name-calling and he could easily beat me.

Now as you might expect, I had no interest in arguing with Maga nor swatting down their numerous conspiracy theories. And I said so. This Maga, though, held on. It was a stubborn little thing. And faster than one could say lunatic, I’d been NAMED — gifted with a new nickname from the Donald wanna-be.

As you might have guessed — Maga isn’t so good at coming up with nicknames. But, in this Maga’s mind, I was now — wait for it, readers, wait for it: “Fart bubble.” Yep. That is the unique and creative nickname I was dubbed with. But that didn’t bother me. It was the Maga’s reaction.

“Bet you can’t top that!” Seriously. This”person” thought they were a genius. As I watched in shock (and sadness), they actually almost purred over the fact that they sure told me!

Now let’s move away from fart bubbles and introduce more serious territory. This second incident was truly quite upsetting. As you might have heard, a person has been charged in the infamous “Gilgo Beach Serial Killer” cold case.

This story was pretty big news at the time. It’s been many years, and so many had given up. (If you would like to read a well-written and deeply humanizing story of what happened, check out “The Lost Girls” by Robert Kulker.)

It seemed that these girls would not get justice, so the other day, when this announcement was made, many were very happy, including me. Maga was not happy. Why? Because some Maga didn’t believe the man was guilty. Check this out:

You don’t BELIEVE the FBI, do you?”

“They get this guy, and they can’t find who put the coke in the White House.”

“Ruining his life and no proof of guilt. Innocent until proven guilty.”

It brought me sadness. The Maga cult is proceeding in the usual way for cults. It’s cultishness is now leaking into every aspect of their lives, rotting their thoughts, making them incapable of trusting or even caring about anything — except their leader, Donald trump.
