The MAGA backlash against Trump after he admitted to a booster caught a lot of us off guard, but it really shouldn’t have, especially the staff at this site. We have been proposing the most logical explanation for the MAGAs’ refusal to get vaccinated (and boosted) for six months and it entirely fits the reason there is so much anger toward Trump.

For the younger MAGAs, saying, “NO” to the vaccine was never really about finding a way to believe they are doing the medically correct thing to do  – though some of the conspiracy theorists tried to invent conspiracies and their data and “research” to assure themselves they were doing the right thing. But most of them just like saying, “No” as another way to “own the libtards,” thinking there was no way they were going to die anyway.

It is why they loved Trump. He would do something insane and we’d get red in the face and they loved it. Without Trump, all they have left is Biden insisting they get vaccinated, them refusing, and watching us go red in the face, loving it.

This explains why so many MAGAs felt so threatened by Trump’s admission that he was vaxed and boosted. It took a lot of punch out of the MAGA last grasp at owning the libs – it also hurt the conspiracy theorists.

The entire argument played out in an ugly fashion in a public fight between Meghan McCain and Candace Owens, both of whom are awful people in their own way, both of whom are old enough to know better than to do this publicly. Meghan, however, hates Trump “personally.”

Trump managed to make a lot of MAGAs very angry with his support of the vax and booster. Candace is just one, and she did not like being called out by Meghan McCain:

And then it just devolved from there with Meghan bringing in yet another reliable MAGA:

Candace decided to do a MAGA scientific presentation where she compared apples to oranges. There is a legitimate scientific link between obesity and outcomes with COVID, but it’s nowhere near as strong as vaccinated versus non-vaccinated. Candace left that very important part out:

Now that above was not a bad response by McCain.

But it led to more just immature bullshit:

And then it got so mean it got a little fun:

And finally, it got down to the challenge. Do you really want to fight?

McCain was having none of it:

After going through all of that, Candace believed that she was fit to teach a class on what is and what is not “classy.”

While Meghan did what she does best, makes an ass of herself and five minutes later acts like nothing happened:

Trump really did split them up with the booster thing and perhaps he has no clue where his base stands on this. We know he has no trouble telling McCain to get fcked, but probably doesn’t want reliable conservatives (McCain’s husband is a major Trumper) divided over this.
