Across the coalition, some supporters who once viewed Trump as MAGA’s greatest asset are beginning to question whether he’s become its biggest liability.
The midterm losses amounted to more than a repudiation of Trump. They were a referendum on the political and cultural movement he built. A defining force in American politics that began as a campaign slogan during Trump’s 2016 presidential run now faces a potentially existential reckoning after voters disillusioned with soaring fuel prices, the Iran war and Washington corruption delivered Democrats decisive congressional majorities.
MAGA was just a symptom of the much larger disease of conservatism. The disease has metastasized and is long overdue for a permanent cure.
Don’t believe conservatives when they pretend they are done. They are already regrouping. They will be back, and next time it will be much worse if we don’t eliminate this disease while we have the chance.
