The MAGA Origin Story

How We Got Here & What We Face

Below, check out articles from Michael Podhorzer, former political director of the AFL-CIO, Senior Fellow at the Center for American Progress and publisher of Weekend Reading, outlining what we are up against in 2024 and beyond, and the need for a long-term effort.
 
How We Got Here:
  • The Emerging Anti-MAGA Majority. Wake up: Trump has fundamentally reshaped the electorate. This is good news for the fight against MAGA fascism.
  • Congressional “Class Inversion” or Sectional Reversion? Partying like it’s 1928.
  •  There’s Nothing Funny About MAGA’s Clown Car: MAGA’s blitzkrieg against American freedoms is already well underway – and still gaining strength.
  • Red Wave, Blue Undertow
  • The Two Nations of America. E pluribus numquam: We were never really meant to be one nation.
  • To the Supreme Court, the 20th Century Was Wrongly Decided
  • Breaking the Law: Trump Is the Means, Not the End
Thinking About This Election:
  •  Election 2024: The Path Forward
  •  A Cure for Turnout Terror
  • Mad Poll Disease Redux: Don’t panic about new horse race polling: Americans know the difference between answering a survey and casting a ballot, even if the media doesn’t.
  • Democracy Is Not a Spectator Sport: 2024 Is a De Facto Constitutional Referendum.
