As far as I can tell, coming from that crowd, MAGA 2.0 = MAGA 1.0 minus “all that jew-loving stuff”.

Even if your foreign policy approach is innocently isolationist, that doesn’t make for good foreign policy. The Neville Chamberlain approach didn’t work out quite so well.

That being said, I also think Trump is playing too much footsie w/Iran. This not being “done” by the midterms will definitely hurt repubs.

We could’ve shut that country down long ago by focusing on their grid and all we’d be doing now is monitoring humanitarian aid.

As far as I could tell MAGA 1.0 is a true coalition which has a range of views outside tbe core. Most were neither ‘jew lovers’ nor ‘jew haters’ but saw Israel as an important strategic and military partner in the region. Tbat has not changed. In the big tent came a lot of Christian Zionists and tbat made a lot of tbose in the tent who aren’t fans of Israel uncomfortable. We’re hearing from the latter now. Tbey were never a large fraction and they will vote Republican rather than DSA, so I don’t think much has changed. Just that Trump has reversed the attack on freedom in tbe US so people feel free to criticize things tbey don’t like again.
