Making Sense of MAGA
In a long Freedom Academy essay, Asha Rangappa argues MAGA is not one movement but three antidemocratic factions — violent extremists inspired by "The Turner Diaries", Christian nationalists executing Project 2025, and tech oligarchs drawn to Curtis Yarvin's neoreactionary blueprint of a CEO-run "GovCorps" — whose agendas sometimes clash, as in the H1B-visa feud between Bannon and Musk. She reads DHS's "Which way, American man?" recruiting post as an echo of white power literature, calls the "white genocide" framing false, and judges Trump indifferent among the factions, whose momentum is still too aligned for infighting to be celebrated.
