MAGA is an uneasy, hyper-vigilant and ever-paranoid collection of various colonies of pathogens, and they regard each other accordingly - constantly engaged in low-level warfare against each other for a more favorable position on the host.

Trump is the agar that has congealed around these toxic entities and bound them, grudgingly, together They move together like a flaming, gelatinous, killing slime mold carrying their bloated and sticky orange god like a termite queen over the flood waters.
