With the 2026 midterms a little over two months away, members of the Trump administration are traveling around the United States in the hope of avoiding a midterms disaster for the Republican Party. But they aren't calming the nerves of frustrated voters — many of whom aren't shy about saying why they're so angry.
MAGA is the name of the US neo-fascist movement. It will be viewed in textbooks the same way we view Nazis, the PNF, the Argentine Dirty War, Operation Condor, and other fascist movements. ICE will go down as the secret police/death squads.
I mean, it makes a certain kind of sense that both fascism and “maga” don’t really have an ethos and no real literature about defining their supposed moral imperatives and philosophy and so on. All “maga” seems to have been, so far, is a bunch of the worst types of people fawning over one orange man. But fascism was not really all that different.
When I hear the likes of Ben Shapiro or MGT going on about who is the “real” “maga”, it makes so much more sense to remember that fascism had no real tradition of formulating anything in writing (probably because that’s for wussy intellectuals) and that’s why it just sounds like that Marklar episode in South Park -
“These so-called Marklars are not the real Marklar, the Marklar base don’t back that Marklar and don’t think they are Marklar, this other set of people are the true Marklar…”
