The article contends that the 2024 elections signal a profound shift marked not merely by conservative corrections but by a revolutionary stance within the Republican party, particularly among Trump supporters. This faction perceives its ideological roots stretching back to a critique of early 20th-century progressivism, rejecting any alignment with mainstream conservative policies. Instead of restoring a past era's values, their agenda seeks to overturn decades of social and political progress. The insights suggest a pivotal moment in American politics, one that challenges conventional definitions of conservatism.
As should be abundantly clear by now, any hopes that Trump 2.0 would represent a mild and conservative "correction" of anything in living memory are hallucinatory.
Many of them believe America went crucially wrong not in 2021... or even in the 1960s, but instead, near the beginning of the 20th century.
When Trump promised to make America great again, many Republican voters thought he meant the 1980s or maybe the 1950s. But it's increasingly clear he intends to take the country further back.
The original devil figures of the left in the MAGA version of history are Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt, the "elitist" progressives who seized permanent power for judges, bureaucrats, and globalists.
