BREAKING: Democratic firebrand Jennifer Welch just delivered the MOST DAMNING indictment of MAGA culture that youll ever hear!
Jennifer Welch is an interior designer, the former cohost of the Bravo series Sweet Home Oklahoma, and currently co-host of the progressive political podcast Ive Had It. She is also responsible for one of the most blistering tirades against White Americans of the MAGA persuasion that youre ever likely to encounter.
In a masterpiece of profane cultural criticism, Welch zeros in on the hypocrisy of those calling for the expulsion of immigrants and foreign refugees from our country and the condemnation of everyone who isnt a White Christian like themselves, all while being perfectly content to enjoy the fruits of their targets talent and culture.
Here is exactly how you can call out the MAGA cultists in your vicinity in the most entertaining and accurate diatribe you can imagine:
Quit watching NBA basketball, quit watching sports that are dominated by African Americans, quit going to Mexican restaurants. You want white culture, you go fucking live in it. You live in it, bathe in it, Welch begins her admonition to the right-wing culture warriors.
Like that's the only thing that I see when you get all white people together in the United States. There's no culture at all. So they have to go borrow culture from people.
Even the word woke, they've borrowed from black culture. I went to a Mexican restaurant with my parents, my son, my husband over the weekend. And there's just all these MAGA looking people in there. And I thought, you've got a lot of fucking nerve coming in here. Coming into this Mexican restaurant where every single waiter, obviously English was their second language, served with a smile. They run a great little local business, Welch continued.
And Oklahoma City is a better place because of these hardworking immigrants that come in here. But I cannot imagine the horror they feel when they are driving to and from work, when they might have a hearing on their status, legal status. I can't imagine the people who've already been taken from their lives.
And to see these fat ass, pink arm, teeny weeny, beta pricks with their ugly ass wives walk into this Mexican restaurant and sit down and smile and be friendly. I don't think you should be able to enjoy anything but Cracker Barrel. Get your fat asses over to Cracker Barrel, Welch exclaimed, while holding nothing back.
But do not participate in any of the shit that makes America cool. And what makes America cool is multiculturalism. And if you want to triple Trump, and you want to browbeat DEI, and you want to browbeat gay people, and you want to browbeat black people, as you've been doing for 400 years, and you want to browbeat this generation of immigrants that come over here and open up businesses earnestly, pay their taxes, you want to demonize them and call them rapists and felons and all this shit when the felon is the teeny weeny mushroom cock piece of shit, Cankles McTacotits, at the top of the ticket, the podcaster accusingly insisted.
Welch then would up her verbal onslaught with the knockout punch:
I have fucking had it from top to bottom. White people that triple Trump should be banned, boycotted from enjoying the best thing that America has to offer, which is multiculturalism. Get your fat asses out of the Mexican restaurant. Get your fat asses over to Cracker Barrel because nobody wants to see your fucking smug ass, teeny weeny pink arm, big gut around. Nobody wants to see that shit. No one.
Nobody does righteous indignation like Jennifer Welch.
Please like and share her devastatingly accurate assessment!

(84 posts)I've been a fan since her first reality show in 2018-2019. I am so happy for her and the success she has had. Finally someone with no Fs to give when it comes to MAGA. She says out loud into a microphone what many of us think, and the best part is that it's genuinely not scripted - just quotable rants!

So she has no idea what these people believe. Shes just going off of her perceptions based on their appearance. Thankfully she didnt confront them, though maybe she should have to see if she was right.
And when did we fall for the idea that visiting Cracker Barrel was a political statement? Just a few months ago most of the left world was mocking a made up crisis about logos. Now were surrendering Cracker Barrel to the right in a made up fight that most people didnt know existed?
Her entire premise is based on biased outrage that most people on the left would condemn the right for doing. But she needs clicks?

(9,422 posts)Culture is dynamic. It is constantly shifting in small ways that add up to large ways later on.
The anthropological rule of thumb is that "culture is our chief tool of adaptation." We are always picking up components that add to the whole and reshape it.

my 5 siblings. My entire extended family are maga looking people.
I promise you that you wouldnt know which ones of us vote republican or democratic by looking at us.
And those of my siblings that do vote for republicans are not motivated by racial prejudice.
Jennifer Welch and her keyboard warrior cheerleaders are guilty of the same kind of prejudice that they claim to be against.
This is unproductive and costs us votes.

that aint good either.

(40,640 posts)I get her point ... she's saying that immigrants have been making great contributions in this country for the last 250 years.
But if every "white MAGA" were to stop spending money in ways that benefit immigrants ... for example if they were suddenly boycott the Mexican restaurants ... how does that help the immigrants? It doesn't - it hurts them, badly.
We all have a favorite "Italian" restaurant, but there was a time when the Italians who came here weren't considered "white" people. Every wave of poor immigrants that came here in the 1800's and early 1900's sparked fear - including the Irish, the Germans, the Swedish, the Chinese, etc. - because white Americans didn't want to lose the power they had to the new groups that came in.
The anger needs to be directed not at the immigrants but at ICE and Dept. of Homeland Security because they are the ones who are overstepping. The MAGAs are just stupid Americans who are too easily influenced to be a concern. ICE is a concern and needs to be stopped.

(84,760 posts)And the meaning of the words aren't lost, besides her biases about how people "look"
"quit going to Mexican restaurants. You want white culture, you go fucking live in it. You live in it, bathe in it"
"And to see these fat ass, pink arm, teeny weeny, beta pricks with their ugly ass wives walk into this Mexican restaurant and sit down and smile and be friendly. I don't think you should be able to enjoy anything but Cracker Barrel"

(84,760 posts)You can admit you were wrong. It will be OK.
Wiz Imp
(9,251 posts)I didn't realize you were jumping into a conversation you weren't part of to begin with. So no you didn't say you got her point, and you obviously missed her point entirely (not to mention you still completely mischaractrize what she actually did say). Not something I would be bragging about if I were you. It doesn't say much for your reading comprehension. The fact that you completely miss her point makes it pointless (pun intended) to engage with you further. Goodbye.
Renew Deal
(84,760 posts)And that multiple people disagree with you because you are wrong.
harumph
(3,122 posts)She's making assumptions. Although a significant number of white people do vote MAGA - (white people) are not a
monolithic voting block. I concede she has a point... but the words like (pink, fat ass, pudgy wives) are just going to alienate people.
But we're supposed to understand she's talking about those white people. This is the kind of trope that is able to be perfectly
framed in reverse by some white racist talk show hosts. You know, let's talk about how stupid black culture can be kind of thing...and how "those people don't appreciate how good they've got it. blah blah blah" It's shitty commentary whether directed at white people or black people or brown people.
But I'll wait while some people here say that's an over-sensitive take on this - and you know, she's not talking about "woke" white people. To this I say
just fuck off.

(84,760 posts)It's good if there is nothing else on and you want to listen to a stream of insults. Other than that, you can do much better. Namely, Meidas Touch, Pod Save America, Breaking Points, Bulwark, Harry Sisson.

(1,900 posts)White people would die of boredom without the art, humor, food, music, and culture immigrants have given this country. Don't be a snowflake. We deserve that criticism even if we aren't, "one of them".
FakeNoose
(40,640 posts)In my family, the immigration happened between 1850 and 1900. My great-grandparents were mostly born in Germany and Ireland. They came here with stars in their eyes, hoping to find a better life in the Midwest. They worked hard, scrimped and saved, married each other and raised their families.
There were so many immigrants coming in during that time (after the Civil War) that they all intermarried. The already established Americans who were born here, had nothing to do with those who came later. My German great-grandfather married my Irish great-grandmother, and so on down the line. Some of them died young, some lived long and purposeful lives.
What if there had been ICE-assholes throwing everyone out of the country back in 1890? There would have been nobody to take those dangerous jobs in the steel mills and factories, nobody to start restaurants and wait on tables, nobody working the farms growing food and picking the crops, nobody to do the hard jobs with low pay. The USA would have become a horrible backward country much, much earlier.
1WorldHope
(1,900 posts)when colonists arrived or the people we forced on ships to be slaves. Or the facts that the whole southeast was Mexico when we got here. This country wouldn't be cool at all without black people and brown people. And the Asians who build the railroad and are buried under those tracks etc etc and on and on. Also we can't forget the refugees from all the countries we peppered with cruel bombs and chemicals, Viet Nam, Cambodia, Korea, Iraq, Afghanistan et al. I don't know if you have ever had cancer, or heart disease, but, we would be totally fucked without doctors from India. So, yeah, me thinks MAGA should sit down and shut the fuck up. 🫤

(2,476 posts)But lately I do watch when I'm in a restaurant, just seeing what other people are like around me. And more often than not, this old white guy is in the small minority.
I was at my favorite Mexican restaurant the other day. From across the room I Heard a Voice that I was sure had to be a good friend of mine. I could not really see the two gentlemen at that table very well. So I just decided to walk over and see for myself. I was a little bit embarrassed because it was not my friend. But we had a good chat and soon people at adjacent tables were joining in the conversation. That meant strangers that were black, white, African, Asian and of course Mexican were all perfectly at ease with one another.
We don't seem to use the term "Melting Pot" these days. But that is what America is about and always has been.
