Frank's Musings

The MAGA Republican coalition which backed former President Trump professed to be the heirs of the conservative Republican Party. However, that wing of opponents to the Democratic administrations of both Barack Obama and Joe Biden really only defined their platform as rejecting most if not all of the incumbents’ progressive policies.

As Groucho Marx sang it 90 years ago, their policy merely is “Whatever it is, I’m against it.” The MAGA Republican Party is not conservative; it is reactionary. Its members have no goal but to defeat any party whose objective is to adopt programs that have a more general purpose than their own personal welfare.  This is libertarian in the extreme.
