My sincere apologies to my liberal friends, our once great country and the world. I really thought that my last satire was going to keep Donald Trump (sic) from winning re-election. Instead, reality has become a satire of itself and things are so crazy politically that we satirists can barely keep up. But I digress, again.

Despite winning, my MAGA friends won’t stop complaining to me about how elite woke liberals are calling them nasty names like “racist” and “idiot” because they voted for Trump. Just because you voted for an idiot racist, they tell me, doesn’t make you a racist and an idiot. So if voting for the once and future president isn’t an indication of racist idiocy, then what is? Take the MAGA test and see for yourself if you’re anti-MAGA, moderately MAGA or mega-MAGA. See the answers below.

In the opinion of the average Trump supporter, what happened at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021? A) A love fest B) Legitimate political discourse C) Antifa dressed as Trump supporters D) Nothing E) All of the above.

True or false: If men voted for Trump and woman voted for Kamala Harris, then trans people decided the election. True or false: Never believe anything that Trump says is true, unless he denies it. Is the following equation true or false: 16 47 (James Buchanan is a greater president then Donald Trump.)

In your opinion, who was a better president, Donald trump or Jefferson Davis? Which amendment to the Constitution is more important, the second or the first? Which amendment to the Constitution should be repealed on “day one?” The second or the 22nd?
