Here are a couple of stories about two MAGA politicians that convey pretty clearly just how manifestly corrupt and morally bankrupt the adherents to this movement are.
First up - there was a primary election in Tennessee last night and the MAGA candidate personally endorsed and promoted by Drumpf got his MAGA ass kicked to the curb:

"A major Tennessee primary has been called on Thursday night, deciding the fate of a scandal-plagued MAGA lawmaker.
Rep. Andy Ogles has lost re-nomination against his primary opponent, former Tennessee Agriculture Commissioner Charlie Hatcher, according to calls from the Associated Press and NBC News.
Shortly after his first election in 2022, local reporting revealed that Ogles had embellished or fabricated major parts of his campaign biography, including his alleged former time as an economist and law enforcement officer. He has also faced ethics and criminal investigations into his underhanded campaign finance tactics. And two months ago, he posted a rant so virulently homophobic even members of his own party pressured him into deleting it."
This guy Ogles was the white-guy version of George Santos. Ogles was caught telling so many lies to worm his way into office that it was inevitable that even slow-witted Republican voters would eventually figure out his scam angle and turn on him. And last night that is precisely what happened. The fact that Ogles was even too toxic for the deep red district he is in tells the whole story.
Good. One less pile of lying MAGA shit stinking up the the people's House of representatives, imho.
And the second story I wanted to highlight around the topic of bankrupt MAGA moral values is this story of the wealthy MAGA dude from Kansas who parachuted into Iowa, purchased an old farm that belonged to a long dead relative, is pretending he is an Iowa resident, and now wants to be the Governor of the state that he doesn't even live in:

"A MAGA candidate running with President Donald Trump's endorsement has been living a life of luxury outside the state where he's running, per The Daily Beast.
The Republican nominee for governor in Iowa, Zach Lahn, has been living in a multimillion-dollar mansion in Kansas despite presenting himself to voters as a farmer, according to reporting by The Daily Beast. Lahn is running on a platform aligned with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s Make America Healthy Again movement and also has the endorsement of Turning Point Action, the conservative group founded by Charlie Kirk.
An investigation by The Daily Beast found that his Kansas mansion is worth about $2 million. His wife, Annie Lahn, is the ex-daughter-in-law of billionaire Republican donor Charles Koch. Lahn and his wife bought the property in 2024 and transferred it to an LLC, according to The Daily Beast, which noted that the move is likely meant to hide Lahn's ownership."
The arrogant entitlement of these wealthy, Drumpf-endorsed, MAGA shitheads is truly something to behold at times.
This MAGA asshole lives in a $2 million mansion in Kansas that is described in the article as 'heaven on earth,' and believes his wealth and connections afford him the right to essentially 'shop around' and use his wealth to purchase any political office in whatever state he chooses to squat in.
Thankfully the voters of Tennessee saw fit to send one MAGA scumbag packing yesterday and let's hope that the voters of Iowa are smart enough to see through the fraudulent bullshit of the Trumpy MAGA toad from Kansas who is trying to steal their governorship.
The tide is turning against Drumpf and MAGA - albeit ever so slowly.
