Here’s a NFL player’s opinion of MAGA
Hello, my name is Chris Kluwe and I'm a 15 year HB resident here to speak out against the current city council.
As the community made clear at the Library commission meeting last Tuesday, everyone is in favor of a plaque to celebrate the library, but the vast, VAST majority are against including a MAGA acrostic as the centrally defining feature (I'm ignoring the general ugliness of the design itself).
Unfortunately, it is *also* clear that this council does not care what we as a community want, so I'd like to take my time to talk about what MAGA has stood for these past three weeks.
MAGA stands for trying to erase trans people from existence.

MAGA stands for resegregation and racism.

MAGA stands for censorship and book bans.

MAGA stands for firing air traffic controllers while planes are crashing.

MAGA stands for firing the people overseeing our nuclear arsenal.

MAGA stands for firing military veterans and those serving them at the VA, including canceling research on veteran suicide, opioid addiction, and medical issues related to burn pits.

MAGA stands for cutting funds to education, including for disabled children.

MAGA stands for a heroin-snorting junkie being placed in charge of the Department of Health; an abusive alcoholic Deus Vult wannabe crusader being put in charge of the Department of Defense; and a noted Putin apologist being confirmed to run our intelligence services. Mitch McConnell voted against her confirmation, by the way.

MAGA stands for a ketamine-addled, unelected billionaire ransacking our private financial details with no oversight. He has access to his competitor's financial details, and the bulk of his fortune comes from lucrative government contracts. He's also trying to get his hands on NASA, one of the jewels of American public innovation - again, one of his competitors.

MAGA stands for hate, and fear, and the idea that we should have a king instead of co-equal branches of government. MAGA stands for a version of America that would appall the founders of this country, because they explicitly warned about this exact situation in the Federalist papers, multiple times.
MAGA is profoundly corrupt, unmistakeably anti-democracy, and, most importantly, MAGA is explicitly a Nazi movement. They may have substituted a red hat for an armband with a swastika, but every single thing MAGA stands for is what the Nazis did. Eugenics. Racism. Blind loyalty to the leader over what benefits the community as a whole. Removal or destruction of knowledge deemed "unsavory." Removal of groups deemed "unsavory." Sustained assaults on science, reason, and logic. Ceaseless propaganda that has no basis in reality. The promotion of fools, imbeciles, and charlatans to positions of power.
The threat to take everything you have, unless you give it to them first.
If this council wants to have MAGA represent our community, as someone who actually believes in the Constitution, I can only have one response to Nazis.
