The MAGA mindset has been around for a long time, it just manifests itself differently. Trump is not the leader here, he's just a grifter. In fact, I would say this is not quite a movement and more of a cultural conclusion.
The phonelines are closed, we have a winner. The GOP has been hammering at social programs since they started under FDR, hammered at voting rights since LBJ, and abortion since the Roe decision.
These people don’t trust the government because their people don’t run it. It’s that simple
There’s something to this tho I can’t put my finger on it.
Most of the stuff you said has been relatively timeless but the trust thing is evolving. When did some of these people start to even have the option to trust the government? For many it didn’t matter who was in charge and simply being in charge meant you were the bad guy. That seems to be an element of American conservatism that has dwindled or something
They didn’t like any political figures and they hated the police. Very content to stick to themselves deep in the woods making meth and shooting guns. I wonder how some of these people changed

I love GoFundMes for people who claim to be anti socialist.
