Tuesday’s results may be the clearest sign yet that the MAGA era is collapsing under the weight of its own failures. The right promised strength, prosperity, and national revival. Instead, they’ve delivered chaos, economic decline, and a government that wages war on its own citizens.
In this clip, we examine why the MAGA project was doomed from the start. From extrajudicial killings and deportation raids to tariffs wrecking rural economies, every decision has deepened the rot. Labor shortages are worsening, inflation is rising again, and whole communities are being torn apart.
The central question isn’t whether MAGA can win another election — it’s whether they can govern at all. When your movement’s only tools are cruelty and propaganda, collapse isn’t an accident. It’s the plan.
