There is currently a rather extensive political operation afoot that has been rolling out for the better part of this year. The objective of the coalition is to fracture the MAGA base in a similar fashion to how the Tea Party movement was compromised in 2012.
In March 2016, the same group now undermining President Trump and the America First movement, assembled in Sea Island, Georgia to plot how to stop or manage Donald Trump. While they have moderated their strategies, the collective goal of that group has never changed. This is the core influence group currently attempting to divide the MAGA movement, with the end objective to position Ron DeSantis. The group includes billionaires, tech industrialists, media brands, the former political Cruz Crew and the current group of alligator emojis (DeSantis operatives).
I will be outlining the entire dynamic in a research post very soon. (Sundance's outline posts here later this morning)
