But like many things the left thinks about, they're really not seeing the big picture that is MAGA. Yes, at one point, MAGA was a group of people, but it's so much more than that now. In fact, I can safely argue that MAGA has become an idea that's so popular that it's now a global movement. 

MAGA represents something of a populist, anti-elitist mentality. The "America First" principle of the movement is highly attractive, and has only become more so as time has gone on and the Joe Biden's administration, and the Democrat Party, took something of an anti-American attitude that has led us into rising crime, open borders, and a horrible economy. 

Despite the left's best efforts in making MAGA seem like a dirty word that equates with literal Nazism and that anyone associated with it is hateful and bigoted, the idea of MAGA has spread like wildfire across America. The red hat is no longer a symbol of hate to be shamed, but a desire and hope for a better America. 

But we're not the only country experiencing this decline. Many are having the same troubles we are, thanks to an out-of-touch elite class that looks down upon its own people with disdain and disgust. It claims to know what's better for us as it continues to degrade and devalue us. 

This makes for fertile soil for an idea like MAGA to spread, and it has. 

As Politico, wrote, a new Trump presidency might even accelerate these ideas in Europe, referring to the MAGA ideal as "far-right": 

Truth is, a second Trump victory would have a profound impact on national politics in Europe, possibly supercharging the far-right populist parties and movements that embrace the same illiberal policies Trump and his “Make America Great Again” movement have been championing for years.

It wasn’t lost on Europe that when U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris said “world leaders are laughing at Donald Trump” during the televised presidential debate this month, Trump pointed out the strong endorsement he’s received from Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán: “One of the most respected men, they call him a strong man,” he said. Orbán, the former president contended, reciprocally claims that “the most respected, most feared person is Donald Trump.”

The Hungarian leader is hardly alone in this either. Illiberal leaders and parties across Europe see Trump and his movement as examples to follow, not fear. From Germany’s Björn Höcke and the Alternative for Germany party to the Netherlands’ Geert Wilders and his Freedom Party, French opposition leader Marine Le Pen and her National Rally (RN) party and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and her Brothers of Italy party — for them, Trump personifies what a successful leader in modern society looks like.

Politico goes on to, like most corporate media does, attempt to label the movement as racist and bigoted: 

These far-right parties all share key perspectives with Trump and the MAGA movement: They’re nationalist and anti-immigrant; pro-Russian to one degree or another and — with the exception of Meloni — oppose supporting Ukraine; they blame economic and societal ills on others, like foreigners, people of color, non-Christians or other scapegoats; they’re EU skeptics and, in some cases, anti-NATO. Moreover, their politics are distinctly illiberal, focused on suppressing independent media, dominating the judiciary and controlling the central bank.

They're not wrong in that much of what they're seeing is actually a result of America's main export being culture, and while for years it was exporting wokeness and radical leftist ideas, it's now exporting MAGA. 

However, I want to disagree on the idea that this is all because of Trump. 

I think it's important to remind everyone that Trump might be the figurehead of the movement, and might represent a lot of its aspects, but Trump was a response to eight years of radical leftist abuse on the country. You could also point to the fact that what looks like his impending return to the White House is also a result of radical leftist abuse. Trump is ultimately a reaction, or a course correction. 

And this is exactly what you're seeing in various other countries across the globe. Yes, they're taking cues from America's politics, Trump in particular, but these movements aren't just popping up because, as the corporate media is trying to push, evil is just having its day for no reason. 

The left created Trump's popularity, they created this backlash, and they created MAGA.
