I dunno, JD Vance almost entirely exists because tech felt they couldn’t trust Trump. Is Dana White really relying on Trump or just sort of an affiliate of the MAGA brand. I think you can ride on the coattails without getting to close.

In a way I think the problem is the opposite of what I’m describing as well. Mark Zuckerberg will never be MAGA and in the game of thrones succession planning that is currently going on, I wonder if Mark being all in on Trump dilutes the brand. It’s kinda funny actually, Mark Zuckerberg as MAGA leader? Wtf is a MAGA that Mark Zuckerberg is part of.

> I get that you absolutely hate Trump

Actually I may like him the best of most post-modern MAGA or whatever you want to call this beast that’s been created. I know that the whole President Musk thing is a joke, but I think there is some truth to the idea that Trump is the least important figure in the new right.

But this leads me to my really theory, MAGA as defined by Steve Bannon is dead, a normal people working class movement co-opted by the very billionaire elitists they were railing against. It would be ironic if they didn’t even end up pardoning the January 6 insurrectionists.
