  Yes, it should. The MAGA-style McCarthy hearings finally ended when one defendant hollered

  “Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?”

  It resonated with both the government, and the American people, and it ended McCarthy’s power instantly.

  I’m not sure it’s possible to stop MAGA in its tracks with one sentence, but statements like this, strong challenges that make EVERY newscast, go a long ways in giving struggling MAGAs a strong dose of second-hand cringe. The first step in converting them will be making them embarrassed to be associated with those MAGA losers, and a constant stream of clips like this will do that.

  We need a lot more condescending “Bless your hearts” from Democrats, until the MAGAs feel like retards, and run away.
