MAGA resembles a cancer-like virus which infects our body politic; and, it can kill us unless we take aggressive steps to stop it.
It is a disease; it is NOT a political movement or party.
Cancer treatment typically includes both surgeries to remove any malignant cells as well as chemotherapy to prevent further spread of the disease. We can apply analogous tactics to the MAGA virus.
'Oct. 2 (UPI) -- War in the Middle East and political extremism within the United States mean there is a high threat of terrorism within the nation, the Department of Homeland Security announced Wednesday.' SEE IT HERE
The MAGA threat will survive after the election regardless of the eventual winners.
Today foreign actors in Russia, China, Iran and elsewhere support our domestic terrorists by providing misinformation on various social media platforms. Some domestic terrorists are in prison today due to their criminal convictions resulting from their criminal acts on January 6, 2020.
The National Security of the United States is at risk today due to the cumulative effects of past and continuing support directed to our Domestic Terrorists from around the world.
It is time to ramp up our efforts to stop the attacks.
SURGICAL EFFORTS:
1. We should damage or destroy the physical equipment used by foreign and domestic actors to support our terrorists - servers, web sites, platforms, etc, etc, et al. The critical nature of the threats suggests that some actions be taken using physical destruction as well as cyber efforts. Our efforts may be considered illegal. We should do them anyway; our survival is at risk.
2. Social media platforms which allow these activities should be decommissioned. Platform owners should have the choice to stop the actions; if they fail to do so, the platform will be destroyed.
3. Web sites which traffic in terrorist propaganda should be disabled immediately. Apparently, some foreign actors have created bots which create thousands of such sites every week. It will require manpower to track all these sites and disable each and every one.
CHEMOTHERAPY EFFORTS:
4. Sitting politicians who swear an oath to uphold the Constitution and refrain from supporting, engaging in or tolerating MAGA actions may be allowed to continue their offices. Those who refuse either of both oaths should be prosecuted and/or defeated in their next election.
5. Hire and coordinate many voices that can challenge and/or refute any MAGA assertion whenever and wherever it appears. It is the job of the poster to provide evidence of his claim, it is NOT the job of the rebutter to provide evidence unless it is easy and readily available.
Any statement without source data should be challenged immediately and evidence demanded. Any false evidence or evidence from a MAGA source, web site or social media platform should be refuted immediately with a demand for retraction or better sources data.

Preventing any group, including those affiliated with the MAGA movement, from interfering with the law requires a multifaceted approach that emphasizes accountability, education, and community engagement. Here are some strategies:
A. Strengthening Law Enforcement: Ensuring that law enforcement agencies are well-equipped and trained to handle disturbances and uphold the law impartially can deter interference.
B. Promoting Rule of Law: Reinforcing the importance of the rule of law through civic education can help communities understand the significance of respecting legal processes and institutions.
C. Open Dialogue: Encouraging open and respectful conversations across political divides can reduce tensions and misunderstandings, fostering a more cooperative environment.
D. Community Engagement: Building relationships between law enforcement and local communities can create trust and collaboration, making it easier to address potential conflicts.
E. Legal Consequences: Ensuring that there are clear legal consequences for unlawful acts can act as a deterrent. This includes enforcing laws consistently, regardless of political affiliation.
F. Media Literacy and Critical Thinking: Promoting critical thinking and media literacy can help individuals better evaluate information and reduce susceptibility to extreme ideologies.
G. Conflict Resolution Training: Offering training in conflict resolution and de-escalation techniques for community leaders and law enforcement can help address tensions before they escalate.
H. Monitoring and Accountability: Establishing oversight mechanisms to monitor potential interference in legal processes can help ensure accountability and transparency.
I. Promoting Nonviolent Advocacy: Encouraging peaceful and constructive forms of political expression can help mitigate confrontational behaviors.
J. Building Coalitions: Forming coalitions with diverse community groups can create a united front that emphasizes the importance of lawful conduct and mutual respect.
Ultimately, fostering an environment where respect for the law is paramount, and open dialogue is encouraged can help mitigate interference from any group.
