Can The GOP Develop a New Brand to Replace MAGA?

Over the last several months I have written multiple stories in which I suggest that Orange Shithead (a.k.a. OS or Donald Trump) has defined his political strategies as just another way to build his brand. But last night I watched a program about Steve Bannon on CNN and maybe I need to change my tune.

The program started off with the host saying that Bannon had provided the ‘intellectual’ contest for the ‘tens of millions’ of Americans who support MAGA and Trump. We were then treated to an interview with three women from Georgia, country-club types, who are running for the State Legislature for the first time.

All three described themselves as ‘political activists.’ All three described themselves as long-time POS/GOP types, all three described themselves as supporters of Trump. When the reporter asked them to state their positions on important issues, one mumbled something about the ‘terrible economy,’ another said something about ‘teaching the truth in schools,’ and the third idiot said something equally dumb.

But the reason that all three has decided to run for office was because they had been inspired by what Steve Bannon said on his podcasts every night. How long has they been listening to Bannon? Maybe a month.
