My new book Beyond MAGA: from Trump campaign slogan to political movement to restoring the Republic is now available on Amazon in Kindle, paperback and hardback formats.
Today the Kindle version is available for FREE at https://amzn.to/41Mi5VC
The book traces the origins of the MAGA Movement from the ashes of the Tea Party through the 2008 financial crisis, Obama administration and TARP, FDR’s Chautauqua class, Wilson’s Progressivism, and ultimately to the tension between the Federalists and Anti-Federalists at the nation’s founding. I discuss how MAGA is currently at a critical juncture and must either continue as a cult of personality centered around one man’s political campaign or grow into something more. Thus far, MAGA has managed to avoid the fate of the Tea Party, largely because of President Trump being a strong leader and standard bearer—something the Tea Party lacked.
Many on the Left (and Right) have criticized MAGA as being nothing more than a cult, but this view completely ignores the longstanding tensions between America’s Ruling Class and the People they rule. President Trump’s ability to recognize this, and to speak to ordinary men and women who felt abandoned and ignored by the DC Elites swept him into office in 2016, and may well do so again in 2024.
President Trump obviously features prominently in Beyond MAGA, but my hope is that this book will inspire the MAGA Movement and American First Patriots to become a long-lasting force in American politics.
And who knows? Along the way, we might just manage to save the nation and restore the Republic the Founders gave us.
Each chapter of Beyond MAGA begins with a brief summary, so those of you who are pressed for time (and these days, who isn’t?) can get the gist of the book by just reading the summaries. Here’s the summary the Introduction to whet your appetite:
What would the world be like if Donald J. Trump hadn’t run for President in 2016? Which of the other Republican candi- dates could have beaten Hillary Clinton? Who else could have energized old-school Rust Belt Democrats, Blue Dogs, Reagan Democrats, Tea Party remnants, small-L libertarians, and Evangelicals across the nation like Donald J. Trump? Without Trump, we’d have President Hillary, First Spouse Bill, and for the Democrats the good times would have kept on rolling. As for the rest of us, we’d be lucky to be ignored while the heartland withered and died. Trump’s grassroots-up strategy and campaign message resonated with millions of Americans who wanted the America Trump described—an America made great again. Those millions found their slogan —Make America Great Again—turned it into a symbol— MAGA—and rallied around it to put Trump into the White House. Now, after two years of the disastrous Biden regime, the MAGA movement continues to be a force to be reckoned with inside the Republican Party and across the country. Beyond MAGA is a call to action for those who believe in unalienable rights endowed by the Creator and a government established to secure those rights, empowered by the consent of the governed. It’s for the millions of Americans who want to put America First, Make America Great Again, and keep it that way.
If you enjoy Beyond MAGA, please leave a review and share it with your friends who might appreciate it. Or, share it with every Progressive, Leftist, Democratic Socialist (is there any other kind these days?) so they can buy many, many copies to burn. If they buy enough and have an open bar, I’ll come and sign them right before they throw them on the fire!
Buy enough to drive me to #1 on the Amazon Best Sellers list, and I’ll even bring my own marshmallows. I do, however, draw the line at giving chocolate to Libtards. Get your own, commies!
