But I suspect we will witness MAGA in the same bargain bin of failed ideologies the others ended up in. National socialism, communism, all manner of dictatorships. The beauty of our leadership is they embody (mostly) the best traits of democracy. No one is perfect. But at least our leaders aren't afraid to be vulnerable, admit responsibility and find a better way.

We course correct, they run off a cliff in their own blind rage. They have nobody but themselves to blame.

This isn't something I relish. The disenfranchisement of a large chunk of voters, regardless of how they vote, harms the entire franchise.
