Trumpism And MAGA Down To The Toenails
To mark the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army
Soldiers are being inspected not just for their military skills, but for their political loyalty down to their toenails.
This isn’t sci-fi, it’s America in 2025.
The Secret Service will be “triple-checking” if every soldier at Trump’s military parade is MAGA down to the toenails.
What kind of world are we living in where the political color of your toenails matters more than your ability to serve your country?
Political loyalty has become more important than professional competence.
And this isn’t just about Trump or American politics. It’s about how we got to a point where ideology seeps into every pore, every cell, every toenail of our existence.
When was the last time someone asked if you were “something” down to your toenails?
Probably never, because it’s an absurd expression. But here we are, talking about soldiers who have to prove they’re politically pure down to the last millimeter of their bodies.
This isn’t about left or right.
