Now that Trump is regularly making menacing statements about annexing Canada and Greenland, it's time to make sure you are stocked up on excuses for supporting him. If you've made it through the lies about the 2020 election, January 6, his court convictions, pardoning J6 insurrectionists, turning the management of the executive branch over to Elon Musk, purging the Department of Justice and the Department of Defense of anyone who might stand between him and illegal or unconstitutional orders, halting humanitarian aid, deciding that he can deport virtually anyone if he wants to, working to nulify the 14th amendment, turning against European allies and increasingly aligning with Russia, threatening the press, universities, and companies that don't align themselves to his will, his on-again-off-again tariffs, and so on, and so on...
...if you've made it through all of that, you may find your short-term supplies of excuses dwindling. And if you think you aren't going to need more, you are kidding yourself. You definitely need to stock up a least a year supply, if not more. You can start small and just regularly add to your supply. Perhaps you think you can just get by with, "I never thought that would happen". A little bit is certainly helpful, but you really are going to need something more substantial.
Probably the most cost-effective way to stock up on excuses is to go to the storehouse of Fox News. They regularly feature excuses that, although not of high quality, will sustain you in a pinch. For example, just recently they had a guest on claiming that Canada has been taken over by Mexican drug cartels. Sure it's stupid, but down the road when the U.S. is taking military action against Canada you are going to need
something to justify your support. Other excuse suppliers that you find on social media or in podcasts can also be helpful, but I would recommend comparison shopping by cross-checking with Fox News to make sure that your excuses are of the best MAGA quality.
While you are building your supply of excuses to make it through the short-to-medium term, you also need to start working on your long-term excuses. Generations after you are going to ask, "Why on earth would you do that?" Providing excuses to them is beyond the scope of this post, but I recommend that you start building a story about how it's what God wanted. Few excuses are as durable.
