Summary

MAGA activists and speakers at the AmericaFest conference in Phoenix rejected bipartisan compromise, demanding “hyperpartisanship” to implement Trump’s agenda.

Bannon derided House Speaker Mike Johnson’s efforts to prevent a government shutdown, while Trump Jr. urged targeting Republicans who oppose his father’s policies, calling the GOP the “America First party.”

With Trump-backed Cabinet picks facing scrutiny and slim congressional majorities, tensions remain high.

Critics warn the MAGA movement’s hardline stance could hinder governance and deepen partisan divides as Trump prepares to take office.

    But why would we trust the lesser businessman? Clearly the wealthiest businessman is the president of USA Ltd.

      It’s a depressingly accurate to treat the presidency as a limited liability entity, since now the president is beyond criminal prosection.*

      Democratic president results may vary.

    So much for the ‘United’ States … The only way you keep people or a country united is if they want to be united by choice … you can’t force a country to stay united under the rule of one person or one group or one party.

    Many others have tried that before and they did get their way for a while … but they never lasted.
