I agree. We have to stop referring to the MAGA crowd, and even the Muskies, as Republicans. They have no intention of maintaining a republic, and they will remain in charge as long as the remaining Republicans let them.
“MAGA is not a Republican organization, and Trump isn’t really a Republican.”
It’s hard to distinguish because there’s so much overlap but you are correct. Maga is at its core, a white supremacy org. Maga formed when Trump surged, which I pinpoint to be when he said he’d install a complete shutdown on Muslims entering the United States. I always felt the crowd went wild after that, and it only got worse.

Thanks Michael!
I think you're right, Keith. I've shared your post on Bluesky and on Mastodon.
Thank you Katharine! Much appreciated.
Well said, sir.
Thank you Debbie!
Keith, yet another one -- exceptionally fine insights and good writing.
Thank you Jacquelyn! I appreciate that.

And corporate power.
Absolutely correct.
