MAGA vs. America First [View all]
Too many pundits use MAGA and America First interchangeably. I don't see that. Let me give you my opinion of both these movements.
MAGA is made up of MAGAts. MAGA is whatever Trump says it is. If Trump changes his position on an issue, so will they. MAGA is a personality cult. They are for Trump and whatever he says that day.
America First dates back to before WWI and gained its greatest fame prior to WWII, with antisemitic, Nazi apologists like Henry Ford, Charles Lindbergh and Father Coughlin. It is an isolationist position. Those in this group, like Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes and others really fall into the original founders' vision of this movement. They aligned with Trump because he mouthed the same rhetoric as they did. Trump now has betrayed this group, which probably includes J.D. Vance and Tulsi Gabbard. Although they remain silent to save their jobs, the others have become outspoken critics of Trump.
So, to summarize, MAGATs are neo-Nazi cultists who follow Trump wherever he goes, and the America Firsters are neo-Nazi isolationists.
