"MAGAbomber"

That seems to be the term du jour. I think it can be a winner for us. It gives us a stake in the term MAGA in a way that allows us to righteously use it as a term of derision. It keeps the idea of justifiable outrage over a right wing nutter sending bombs to liberals alive. Associating MAGA with bomber can do nothing but hurt their side.

Were if he had a #Megabomber sticker on it and if he had donned the roof with a fake Trump Hairdo, ala the "Dumb and Dumber" dog grooming van.

But derision would be wrong. It even could make us look bad if we took it too far. For example:

There was a magabomber who had a magavan
He lived down by the river, but now he's in the can

That would make us look lame. Someone might have a better example of what I mean.
