Oh, that is interesting. Yes.

Thinking out loud here, and pretty far out on a limb: we could view MAGA as being a fusion of these two threads of paranoia, only a breath away from (and sometimes morphing into) cold war Red Scare, yet also viewing the home government as the enemy. It’s a mashup that doesn’t make logical sense (“We don’t trust democracy, which is communist“?!?), only racist sense. But psychologically I feel like there’s a thread there to pull…?
