MAGA 2 will be worse

MAGA 1 was crazy! To secure any meaningful position in Republican politics required pretending that Donald Trump was an ethical person who never sexually assaulted anyone or did anything racist, that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him, and that the Jan. 6 insurrection was righteous.

MAGA 1 is notably still ongoing — Republicans who don't attest to those things remain subject to cancel culture (losing a primary to someone who does).
