So bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin', "This'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die" (American Pie/Don McLean)
So sorry for the Granddads, the Dads of the current crop of MAGA minions who must be considered saps, sad sack losers when they risked life and limb to fight against the Tyranny and Fascism of Germany during WWII. No respect for them from this current generation of American Fascists who voted for Trump.
I must wonder if the Italians, the Irish, and the Eastern European Jews who fled famine, pogroms, hunger, and loathing during the 1900s through the 1930s think of their MAGA offspring who now seem to believe that Jesus invented America; America had always been a White Christian nation, and that if you ain’t been born here, you are not MAKING AMERICA GREAT.
Thinking about the MAGA ladies, oops, maybe I should refer to them as the MAGA BABES. All this talk about bringing MASCULINITY back to some fantasized plateau, making AMERICA MALE AGAIN. Do these MAGA GALS/GIRLS/CHATTEL really understand that adoring male rapists, male sexual harassers, male adulterers, and male pedophiles hunting young girls actually think those traits are cool?
For me, the death knell of American Pie happened when bigots, racists, xenophobes, and self-serving, fearful men and women decided that crime pays and a criminal should be king, and they voted for Trump. On Monday, January 20, 2025, as Trump smugly pretends to honor our Constitution and is sworn in as president, is when the actual death of American Pie happens.
