Analysis details the 'selective outrage' of the 'miserably mad MAGA cult'

The selective outrage of the MAGA cult is telling, writes Rebellious Magazine's Michelle Duster, who says President Donald Trump's supporters will exhaust themselves while everyone else builds a diverse future.

"Over the last 10 years, those who believe in empathy, equality, social progress and joy have had to endure the chronic whining, rage, fury, insults and complaints from the miserably mad MAGA cult," Duster writes.

And despite Trump's appeasement of this cult with "an unrelenting flurry of exhaustive measures to dismantle and defund institutions, departments and programs that provided opportunities and protection for Black people and other racial minorities," they're still miserable, she says.

"The scorched earth approach that has harmed millions of hard-working people will still not make America White," Duster notes. "The grievances and whining of the MAGA cult led them to elect a Confederate-sympathizing president for a second time."

In shunning those who have different cultures, values views than theirs, Duster says their performative outrage is doing nothing to cover their racism.

"In their insatiable determination to rage about everything, they’re fuming about Bad Bunny, an American citizen from Puerto Rico, performing at the 2026 Super Bowl. All their whining, promises to produce a counter-programming concert, plus a petition with over 100,000 signatures apparently influenced the NFL to schedule a first “pre-Super Bowl concert” featuring Sting, who is White and a British citizen," she writes.

"The selective outrage of the MAGA cult is telling. These same people who are content watching a game where over half of the players are Black (compared to 14 percent of the population) fume about hearing 'Lift Every Voice and Sing”'(the Black national anthem) or a Hispanic man perform the half-time show," she adds.

The undertones are obvious, Duster writes, saying, "the message is that Black and Hispanic people can use their bodies to entertain them in a violent sport, but there is no desire to hear or appreciate the voices or concerns of those same people."

Trump supporters' will exhaust themselves with their hate, she says.

"Instead of embracing the beauty and diversity of the United States and working with their fellow citizens as one people to make the country great for everyone, they choose to stew in hatred," Duster says.

The resilience of those at whom the MAGA hate is aimed, however, goes unnoticed by them.

"They don’t understand that generations of Indigenous, Black, Hispanic and Asian people have lived their entire lives navigating the hate-filled MAGA mad and their ilk," she notes. "The MAGA mad are the ones who seem obsessed with us."

"Rather than up their game to compete on an even playing field, they’d rather spend their time, energy and money on trying to keep everyone else down or out. All that does is make their insecurity even more obvious," she notes.

And MAGA won't rain on anyone's parade but their own, she writes.

"Black and Brown people will enjoy life together in January 2026 — celebrating the political wins of historically underrepresented people including Black women," she writes.

"We will cheer as Zohran Mamdani is sworn in as New York City’s youngest mayor in over 100 years and the first African-born Indian Muslim American. A month later, we will dance along with Bad Bunny as he makes history as the first Latin male artist to perform solo at the Super Bowl halt-time show. And doing so in Spanish will make the MAGA cult extra fester in their bile of hatred," she adds.

Duster says that while MAGA continues to exchange "foul, hate-filled text messages and fantasize about an all-White country," everyone else will be busy doing other things.

They will be building "a diverse, multi-cultural, multi-religious world where people of all genders and abilities love their neighbors as themselves; believe in and work towards a government of, by and for all people; and create systems where everyone enjoys a fair chance to compete and succeed," she says.

MAGA, meanwhile, "will exhaust themselves seething on the sidelines and miss all the fun," she concludes.
