MAGA stands for “Make America Great Again”. The main cultural tenets of this movement are:
1. Lower taxes on the middle class and retirees
2. Re-shoring of critical strategic manufacturing industries to North America (especially microchips).
3. Opposing climate change legislation that would negatively affect American businesses and consumers.
4. Increasing domestic oil production to become a net oil-exporter rather than importer.
5. Opposing the progressive’s culture war on the nuclear family and straight cis white people.
6. Opposing systems that use DEI in favor of meritocracy.
7. Non-interventionist foreign policy
8. Having safe, auditable elections without mass mail-in/absentee ballots or stuffable drop boxes.
9. Wanting tight border security and deportation of all, if not most, illegal immigrants. Many would take it one step further and see the 14th Amendment’s clause reinterpreted to only apply to the children of legal immigrants to eliminate “anchor babies”
10. Repudiation of establishment political figures, legacy media, and the government’s administrative state
The main purpose of this movement, however, is supporting the reelection of Donald Trump and the opposition of his enemies. While the MAGA movement is united by at least some vague ideological principles, it mostly exists as a cult of personality. So, as Trump’s agenda changes, MAGA adherents will change with it. At the same time, many see Trump less like a leader than as a weapon or a stand-in for themselves. For some, they seek to be used by Trump to put him back in power. Others seek to use Trump to get revenge on those they see as their enemies. It’s actually a pretty complicated thing.
MAGA represents a whole political realignment, where the working class union baws of the democratic party who believed in protectionism have joined forces with evangelicals and the middle class and small business owners of the republican party to create, essentially, a new party that is a hybrid of the two. It equally opposes the progressive wing of fhe Democratic Party and the Neoconservative movement of the Republican Party.

You are SCARED to list your favorite News sources.

Absolutely go read their top stories. One is trying to allude to the fact that Mike Johnson is the biggest threat to the USA.
Its not just a leftist rag, its a far left propaganda rag

When I get the issue in the mail next week, it will be old news. I enjoy some of their long form articles. I already said I unsubscribed from national politics. I don’t read anything about that if I can help it.

You guys are nuts.
When I reached voting age, my first
presidential vote was for Richard Nixon ( nobody really saw Watergate
coming). I think my main concern was foreign policy at the time. Eventually, I think the GOP became full of shite. Today, I’m an independent. I have issues with both parties. Oddly enough, I don’t think an independent running as a third party candidate is viable as things stand now.
I could never have signed up for full MAGA. For all of the talk about America and patriotism, I find the movement to be anti-America in reality.

This is patently false. Trump got shittted on like he's never been shittted on by his supporters when he approved bombing of Syrian airfields. He quickly realized his support and loyalty of his supporters is firmly affixed to him fullfilling his promises and sticking to core principles of America First policy.
That being said, his stanning for Israel I absolutely loathe. Hopefully it's a PC talk he's doing, then once elected he needs to get us the hell out of that mess.

People can read what I posted and can see it doesn’t match what you’re accusing me of saying.

National abortion ban, mandated prayer in school, opposing gay marriage, marijuana prohibition, MADD, civil asset forfeiture, supporting bans on contraceptives, censorship in movies, tv, and videogames, etc.
Notice my point wasn’t necessarily about republicans wanting to ban these things at the federal level so much as opposing them at the local and federal level.

I don't think you could find examples of most of those either, but what about your first list?
