It Is Transparently Obvious: MAGA Does Not Understand How Republicans Operate
For the better part of this year, I have been noticing publicly on the Twitter, and on these pages, how the financial interests of the global/political establishment elite, and a host of affiliated Technocrats formerly outlined as the Sea Island group, seemingly have been working an operation to divide MAGA.
That operation is to separate President Trump from his support base.
President Trump has been navigating this dynamic, sometimes failing -not surprisingly given the scope of the issue- yet keeping his focus on the larger objective, the ‘ultimate solutions’ approach he is known for.
ISRAEL – To wit, many people have criticized President Trump for being too close to Israeli interests. As if those voices do not understand the scale of institutional interests toward maintaining foreign influence in U.S. politics (perhaps many don’t). [Ex. If Ron DeSantis had won in ’24, right now we would be talking about forward operating USA bases in Iran]
Perhaps people criticized President Trump for attending the Knesset legislative session of Israel, yet did not notice the totally Trumpian move of calling out Mariam Adelson during those same remarks. In essence, President Trump candidly spotlit the very nature of the thing that people are upset about.
Trust me, you can tell from the nervous responses the local audience didn’t miss Trump’s words, nor what they meant. They were considerably jaw agape at the brutal honesty. That boss move did not win Trump any benefits there – RJC lack of attendance notwithstanding.
There is a reason Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the UAE, Bahrain, Egypt and Indonesia support President Trump as the ONLY one who can organize the solution to the Gaza conflict long-term. They have said they cannot see anyone else delivering a solution to this generational problem. Those middle east nations trust the humanitarian agenda of President Trump specifically, because he is strategically and objectively detached from the narrow agenda of Israel.
On the H1B visas. No one wants to see H1B visa abuse; yet, do we accept the scale and scope of the tech sector in exploiting/using this system? Have we forgotten Elon Musk’s December 2024 statements, or those of Vivek Ramaswamy, which highlighted the tech REDLINE position?
Do we understand the tenuous nature of the coalition candidate Trump put together to defeat the professional UniParty, which included the same very influential tech leaders as lukewarm allies to MAGA? Big Tech is border averse, institutionally minded globalists, i.e. in traditionally comfortable relations with Democrats.
On Chinese university students. Again, no one wants to see American kids stopped from attending colleges and universities. Those 300,000 per year foreign students are paying out-of-state tuition, in full and in cash, and while the system might be in need of change, President Trump is not proposing anything that doesn’t already exist. 600,000 student visas per 2-year-term is the current enrollment rate, not an increase.
On 50-year-mortgages. No one wants to see first-time homebuyers ripped off; but again, optimal solutions. No one is going to stay in a home for 50-years; the average is seven. This is the way for young people to afford a smaller payment and begin to build some equity or at least own something. It’s an option, not a requirement. It’s an alternative that might help some people afford to move in an ongoing housing crisis.
For Banks and Financial Interests. Many people are upset about President Trump having working dinners with bankers and members of high finance. Yet, if President Trump collapsed the U.S. dollar, we’d never hear the end of it – nor survive as a prospering nation through the ramifications of it. President Trump is trying to build a strong domestic economy for the U.S, while still maintaining the dollar as the best alternative for global investment and trade currency.
Trump is the national steward for your economic way of life, and without him there would be little to no hope for long-term stability. As much as you might decry President Trump for focusing attention to the globe, without that effort our financial house would shrink rather quickly.
This brings me to the most frustrating part of watching Republicans that most MAGA-minded folks are missing.
CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS – We are watching the professional Republican apparatus going through a state level congressional redistricting effort, using the statistics from the 2024 electoral coalition that President Trump delivered. Every state is using the MAGA voting bloc as the baseline for their congressional redistricting.
Those votes, and as a consequence, those districts, are of such a significant scale and Republican Party benefit, only because candidate Donald Trump delivered those voices to the polls. However, these are the same professionals within the Republican Party apparatus who are trying to split the MAGA coalition.
Think about how Machiavellian and typically Republican this operation is.
The Republicans are using the votes that Trump delivered to enhance their state Republican voices, while simultaneously trying to break apart the coalition that gives them the ability to scale up their Republican influence. I doubt you could ever show me a more perfect encapsulation of how the abuser/abused relationship works in politics.
Any one of these hot button issues, or a combination therein, might be the trigger point for you to withdraw support. Okay, I get your frustration. However, each one of these issues is a smaller part of a coalition of support that delivered the result in 2024. There’s a bunch of special interests I do not support, yet I fully understand why Trump may take a different approach toward that issue.
Do I still support President Trump?
Yes, because the alternative is a Republican.
