The True Meaning of Trump’s MAGA and the 2024 Presidential Race

MAGA Through the Lens of Novelist/Navy Seal James Carr

• Team: Here’s a sneak peek to my paid subscribers on substack of a fun little piece that will fly in tomorrow’s podcast. It’s a look at what MAGA stands for through the eyes of one of the most compelling protagonists in today’s military thriller market. So have fun with this one and please share with a friend.

Republican voters clearly embrace Make America Great Again (MAGA) principles, including reshoring America’s factories, secure borders, strategic energy dominance, an end to endless wars, draining the DC Swamp, and fair elections.  If this MAGA center holds, a Republican super-majority coupled with MAGA-leaning Independents and “Trump Democrats” will deliver a Republican landslide.

Democrat strategists’ best chance of winning is to turn MAGA into a four-letter word associated with “domestic terrorism” and “extremism.” Joe Biden used this messaging strategy with surprising success in the 2022 Congressional elections, and Republican strategists must counter it by more clearly articulating, as my new book describes it, The True Meaning of Trump’s MAGA.

While normally I would shamelessly urge you to buy this book (a 99-cent Amazon steal), instead, I recommend former Navy Seal Jack Carr’s new thriller Only the Dead as a far more entertaining grassroots MAGA primer.
