Frank the MAGA Dog

Frank the MAGA Dog

There’s a MAGA dog in town. His name is Frank. Frank has one trick, and he trots it out every time you mention Trump. If you criticize Trump, Frank barks: “You’re just full of hate!” That’s it. That’s the whole act.

Now, it’s a strange thing when you think about it. Since when did calling out corruption, lies, and creeping fascism become hateful? When patriots push back against authoritarianism, they’re not spreading hate—they’re standing guard for democracy. But in the world of MAGA dogs, barking at a tyrant equals cruelty, and wagging your tail for the strongman equals virtue.

Frank isn’t alone. There’s a whole pack of MAGA dogs who’ve been trained to confuse loyalty to one man with loyalty to the country. They can’t tell the difference between healthy criticism of a leader and mindless devotion. They’ll growl at anyone who points out that Trump tried to overthrow an election, treats truth like garbage, and stirs division like a chef stirs soup.

The irony is thick: Patriots who resist fascism are branded hateful, while those who salute lies and cheer for authoritarian rule call themselves “lovers of freedom.” MAGA dogs howl about “unity,” but only if unity means obedience.

So when Frank barks, “You’re hateful,” what he’s really saying is, “Don’t question the leader.” That’s not patriotism. That’s training.

A real patriot doesn’t roll over for a would-be dictator. A real patriot knows that dissent is not hate—it’s duty.
