And ultimately, the MAGA movement has proven to be the most resilient grassroots politcial movement in... a very long time, over a century I'd reckon. Trump was wise to tap into existing sentiment, but even he has been influenced to be more radical, to say nothing of the Tea Party holdovers that now barely resemble what they stood for when they first took office. Politicians have had to change their messaging to stay relevant, those that haven't have been voted out or sidelined. What separates MAGA from the lefties is a clear chosen leader who didn't back down and fought for victory.
I was thining earlier today of Trump's lefty analogue, Bernie Sanders. His movement in '16 was very close to Trump's, albeit easier considering how urban most of his events were. And it all went to shit when he cucked to Hillary and never fought the Superdelegates. Can you imagine the '16 Nevada State Dneocratic Caucus occurring under Trump? You know what the tweets would say, and how fast he would have been on Fox with lawyers on the way. Can you imagine Trump at the RNC with Superdelagates swinging the vote? It would have made January 6th look like picnic. Bernie pissed his one chance away and it was so bad that his '20 events were drawing 10% of the same venues in '16. They won't have another figure like that for a century.
