Video: The Intellectual Movement Behind MAGA (with Laura Field) Brennan Center for Justice

The Briefing Podcast with Michael Waldman

Today, there is a great deal of ferment on the right. The primary ideas and policies are very different from those that previously dominated conservative politics. They are obscure and provocative and often run counter to the traditional U.S. embrace of liberalism and constitutional democracy. And they are increasingly influential in Washington and elsewhere.

Listen as Laura Field, author of Furious Minds: The Making of the MAGA New Right, dives into the characters, ideas, and institutions that have shaped the creation of the intellectual movement behind the MAGA new right.

I think there needs to be a search party looking for any MAGGOT with a functioning mind. Their minds are made of foul mush, at best.

Morons or oxymorons...you choose.

"Oxys, meaning "sharp" or "keen".Moros, meaning "dull" or "foolish".Together, they literally translate to "sharply dull".Oxymoron vs. Paradox"

maybe "when did air force 1 turn into flight 93?"

maybe about the minute he came down the golden escalator

or perhaps when "people were saying" that bone spurs meant he was a make-a wish kid .....
when the people, all 6 of them, said colorado must allow the hijackers back onto the aircraft?.
