MAGA isn’t going anywhere.

Before MAGA it was the ‘tea party’; what we now call MAGA has been around for more than 50 years dating back to the Southern Strategy and the rise of the Christo-fascist right.

The fear, ignorance, racism, bigotry, misogyny, and hate of the authoritarian GOP is just as strong and just as powerful as it ever was – it will remain a threat well into the future.

The capricious stupidity and willful ignorance of the voters, in a democracy that’s irreparably broken, and a political process hopelessly corrupted by Republicans, will continue to return the fascist right to power.
