MAGA
MAGA, also known as Trumpism, is a populist political cult in a cheap red hat, worshipping Donald Trump while claiming to defend patriotism and traditional values. They thrive on historical amnesia and a nostalgia for an America that never existed, mixing culture-war hysteria with open sympathy for Russia and its autocracy.
Under the banner of Making America Great Again, MAGA’s isolationism, econonomic illiteracy and anti-science conspiracy theories achieve the complete opposite.
MAGA, Moscow Agent Governing America? Or should it be MRGA, “Make Russia Great Again” instead?
