There are now MAGA-specific think tanks, like the Center for Renewing America and the America First Policy Institute; MAGA recruiting and training organizations, like American Moment; and MAGA incubators, like the Conservative Partnership Institute, all aimed at not only bolstering the Trump cause but strategizing how to sustain it with just four years until his successor is named, according to interviews with more than a dozen Trump allies, former administration officials and other conservatives who work for think tanks or other outside groups, many of whom were granted anonymity to speak candidly about dynamics between the organizations.
And they say they are in it for the long haul, hoping to outlast would-be movements like the Tea Party or Occupy Wall Street that faded away after upending their parties.
“The vision is, ‘We’re not going back to [former President George W.] Bush.’ I think the inertia or the centrifugal pull of the establishment in Washington is Bush. You have to have a network on the outside that’s resisting that effort within the right,” said Rachel Bovard, vice president at the Conservative Partnership Institute. “This is what every lasting movement does.

Back in 2016, I stated that Trump had amazing instincts, but no underlying philosophy to build it upon. I saw Angelo Codevilla and Steve Bannon as starting something in that direction, but it really took all eight years to get the scaffolding functional.
Thankfully, Trump is no Perot, and between his strategy and tactics to attack the Deep State/Uni-Party, and his choice of Vance as VP, we have the structure that will allow MAGA to continue. Without a “hot” Civil War it will take several more cycles of purging and defanging the remaining Whigs.
Even during the Biden usurpation, Trump and MAGA continued to be central to the political discussion. Trump is giving EVERYTHING he has. I am grateful these honest allies, think tanks, and patriots will help perpetuate MAGA.
When is this political propaganda cesspool newsagency going to go out of business, so I can stop seeing articles from them?
I thought USAID was keeping them afloat
