“At first blush, it may appear the nation’s two preeminent populist movements, the Right’s Make America Great Again (MAGA) and the Left’s Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), have nothing in common. And it is true, of course, there exist numerous differences in the political views and aims of these movements. (These will be looked at in depth in Part Two of this series.) Yet, while rarely if ever recognized, let alone mentioned, by each movement’s members, there exist similarities between MAGA and the DSA. Naturally, the fundamental basis of any populist movement has spurred the creation of both organizations: namely, the members believe a powerful, unaccountable entity or entities are unfairly exploiting them and obstructing their personal pursuit of happiness. Further, they believe their exploitation is facilitated and exacerbated by collusion between the powerful entities and similarly powerful organizations.” (08/15/26)
