    Maga is a personality cult centered around an 80 year old man with obvious health issues.

    Everyone sees the writing in the wall, like Alexander’s generals after he drank himself to death, they’ve got to carve out their own fiefdoms from the corpse of his empire.

      Part of me really does wonder what all these asshole cult members and/or those vying to build their own little cult after he’s gone will do if he were to die in the WH while that stupid ballroom is still nothing but an AI-generated set of plans. What are they going to do with really egregiously out-of-touch and stupid things like Donvict’s ballroom?

      They seem to have zero platform, really. It’s just trying to own the libs, enrich Donvict, strip the country for parts, enshrine corporatism and coddle the already ridiculously rich.

        Conservatives couldn’t give a fuck about policy or outcomes. It’s all vibes and emotions to them.

        The other comparison the Professional Left podcast makes - and it’s more apt than ever for the Confederates - is the notion of the Nazis burning their uniforms as they fled the battlefield and lost the war.

        These people are going to construct alt versions of the Republican Party, call it something else, most likely, but still run Republican Party candidates. Terms like “maga” and “America first” and “teabagger/tea party” are of course meaningless terms that can be made to stand for virtually anything.
