I work with MAGA folks and you are 100% right. They hate each other more than us and sometimes even choose to work with people like us rather than MAGA. You can’t make this shit up.
For real. I don't know how fast I can grow my following, but I see so many things about the way we—the left, libs + progressives—seem to completely fail to recognize and apply in terms of how we engage with the right...
I honestly believe that in 6 months to a year, given the right reach, we can completely turn this ship—America—around. It really is all messaging. And for anyone that doubts it, they can just consider the following:
Biden was by far the most pro worker/middle class president since FDR and there was no reason to believe that Harris would do any less for these groups. Trump literally ran on a fascist platform, he bragged with Elon about firing people trying to unionize, etc. And yet, Fascism won against a Pro worker/middle class platform. But for messaging, it should've been a 45 to 50 state landslide for Harris.
The right has literally been able to sell fascism to half the country while demonizing the left to such a degree that people won't even take anything we say seriously. That's PURE messaging.
Don’t forget the divide between Musk’s Techbros and JD’s Hillbillies. Transhumans against Poor People. This is a schism waiting to explode, and will as soon as the government checks stop coming.
This is definitely one of the big ones. We've made a huge mistake allowing the H1B fissure between the two close. We should all be keeping that wound open and festering among them.
I agree 100%! They need to be called out for exactly who they are and their beliefs, agendas and goals should also be clearly defined and highlighted, I can’t see how this wouldn’t fracture them into even smaller pieces.
The only thing I would add and this may be a completely different topic, is that all of these factions or parts of this fascist coalition, are simply being used to support the bitch baby tech. boy oligarchs and their destruction of our democratic institutions for their gain.
They might think their goals all align in part by wanting to destroy equality, our civil rights and freedoms, but I can’t see any part of that fascist coalition wanting to lose all of their own power and rights too simply for the gain of the few oligarchs taking everything for themselves on the top. Just a thought.
The tech broligarchs fall under Corporatists. I'm strongly considering writing a full article on each of the subgroups and their interactions—especially antagonistic ones—with one another.
This way, people can be better equipped to push the wedges between them as effectively as possible
That makes sense and breaking down the subgroups is a great idea.
When I was thinking of Corporatists I was thinking more of mid-level corporations and their executives who are multi-millionaires not billionaires. I thought “the billionaires” were the tech boys behind the felon at the White House plus a handful more, they I thought they were “the oligarchs”, boy I was wrong.
Billionaires are newer to me, at first it took me a minute to realize just how much money a billion dollars is. We all hear the word, billionaire, we know it’s a hell of a lot of money but it must be understood that it takes $1,000,000.00 X 1000 to = $1,000,000,000.00.
Guess the younger generations easily get this, but with my generation billionaires didn’t exist, at least not to the extent they do today.
No one person should possess that much money nor possess that much power!
I mean no one’s career pay’s that much nor is any one persons work worth $1,000,000,000.00. That much can only be accumulated by corruption, exploitation especially of employees and cheating society out of tax dollars by buying lobbyists, politicians and even the current felon president who pass dirty laws to benefit only themselves, only the wealthy, for what, decades now? … Since the Powell manifesto, or before?
This is simply another sign we are in end stage capitalism, capitalism has gone amuck and democracy is over.
There is what, almost 800 billionaires in the U.S. now? These “mid-level corporations” produce billionaires and they all are part of this oligarchy who is seizing power and destroying our government to benefit only themselves. Is that right?
And it’s not only a billionaire, we are being controlled by multi-billionaires, the top 25 in U.S. have approx. 88 - 244 billion dollars each, what’s the math on that amount? Now that’s something to internalize.
Yea. I love that you brought up the Powell Memo/Manifesto, also that your analysis is spot on... I have something that might interest you—and to which your feedback could be very helpful:
I've been working on a framework for how we achieve a better future—sort of like a Project 2025 of the left if you will. One of the things that I did throughout its development was analyze how the right was able to essentially kill the New Deal with Reaganomics, and sure enough the Powell Memo was one of the key turning points. You're welcome to check it out, you might find it interesting.
I'm also working on a history series that starts with the Civil War, weaving a thread from then to now, showing the trends and the patterns, what worked what didn't the consequences, etc. There's so much to cover now after the inauguration with all the craziness, it's been harder to keep up with releasing both the history and the U.S.O.S.—the framework, the Unified Social Operating System—but I'm getting them out there.
It's interesting how many people have no idea how few people it took at its core for the right to completely change America's direction.
Lewis Powell, Milton Friedman, Paul Weyrich, and a few others, less than 10 total, essentially were able to usher in the destruction of the New Deal. My framework recognizes that and seeks to build such a movement on the left, albeit one based on Fairness, Truth, Merit, Responsibility and Simplicity—that can revive the New Deal and take it further by working as a foundation that can guide both thought and policy.
We also need to recruit them to our side. And that means we can't relentlessly blaming them for what they helped create. Rather, acknowlege together what is at stake and that TOGETHER we can triumph.
This is the best piece I’ve read about strategy and the reality of this cobbled-together right-wing coalition. Can you please send this to every Democratic strategist, elected representative, and staffer?
What about all those lame “red pill” “alpha” incel morons? We can’t discount their role in all this. I’d say they’re one of the more visible and prominent “limbs” on this monster.
This is a helpful start. Your graphic mentions the Young MAGA but I have not found the referenced elsewhere in the text. I’d like to know how to defeat them. Especially since they are a part of what your graphic shows as the strongest mutual bond within the Facsist Coalition, the Young MAGA/Blue Collar Worker/Neo-Nazi/ Conspiracy Theorists.
I'll have to write a whole article to explain Young-Maga/Red Pillers, but here's the short version:
You can't defeat them head-on like you can with most other subgroups. They are a result of OUR own making in many ways:
1. We currently live in an era where ENTERTAINMENT is KEY. Rs realized that, look at Turning Point USA event, look at a DSA event. Rs realized they can easily get a TON of young people by just being entertaining first, and pushing the message as a 2nd mission. We are boring, extremely.
2. #1 Costs money. Rs invest a TON of money in bringing young people into the fold. Dems if anything, spend money keeping young people OUT of the fold, because they want the OLD GUARD to HOLD POWER at all cost.
3. A lot of young MAGA/red pillers end up there through some other thing they care about, whether it's self-help, health, whatever. Dems have made no effort to have their message permeate other facets of life. In fact, we seem to keep on acting like it's not polite to talk about politics outside of politics. That mindset needs to DIE. We have to make it a point to have our values PERMEATE our lifestyle, BUT not as front and center, rather as a subtle reminder that OUR VALUES are the reason why WE are responsible for MOST of the US GDP/POWER/etc. We have to wear it proud and patriotically (another thing we seem to tend to be against doing)
4. The whole ALL WHITE MEN ARE BORN INHERENTLY EVIL AND ARE IRREDEEMABLE (yes this is the most extreme version of it, but anything in this direction) mindset NEEDS TO DIE. Yes, a lot of them are misogynistic. Yes, a lot of them are racist. But these are not immutable traits. They are learned, and often because they were pushed towards other misogynists and racists BY US long before they themselves developed those traits.
5. We need to stop ceding ground on SOCIAL MEDIA. That's where young people are. This assumption that "GOOD PEOPLE" will just NOT GO TO X/Twitter or Instagram, or Facebook, or Threads, is myopic and bordering on idiotic. They will go to those platforms, and if the only thing they're hearing is RIGHT-WING propaganda, THEY WILL BECOME right-wing. So no, the couple of dollars you're "TAKING AWAY" from Elon by leaving X is not worth losing an entire generation to the RIGHT-WING. For one, THEY DON'T NEED YOUR MONEY, taking it away MAKES NO DIFFERENCE, you're not that important to them. For two, they get funding from RIGHT-WING corps and CAN FULLY OPERATE without a penny from you.
So, yea, that's the short version of the issue with Young MAGA/Red Pillers:
They are a symptom of OUR ISSUES, so we have to FIX OURSELVES.
We do need a new name for Trump supporters, that doesn’t credit Trump’s false phrase. I’ve always liked Maggats, but, perhaps a well read content provider, can designate or have a contest to rename, with shame.
I'd say don't use anything that harkens back to MAGA, like Maggats, Maggots, Magats, etc. It all just unifies them back as MAGA, even if you think you're being creative.
Just call them fascists, because that's what they are. It's no hyperbole, and that in itself already has almost 100 years of the worst possible stink you can stick them with.
I work with MAGA folks and you are 100% right. They hate each other more than us and sometimes even choose to work with people like us rather than MAGA. You can’t make this shit up.
For real. I don't know how fast I can grow my following, but I see so many things about the way we—the left, libs + progressives—seem to completely fail to recognize and apply in terms of how we engage with the right...

The right has literally been able to sell fascism to half the country while demonizing the left to such a degree that people won't even take anything we say seriously. That's PURE messaging.
So, it's time we do the same.
Don’t forget the divide between Musk’s Techbros and JD’s Hillbillies. Transhumans against Poor People. This is a schism waiting to explode, and will as soon as the government checks stop coming.
Yes!

Thank you for this article, informative and I agree with everything you wrote. I will apply this and spread it.
I knew you would like this. I think this is our playbook for 2026.
It helped me to be better grounded in my responses,instead of reacting. Thank you!
We also need to recruit them to our side. And that means we can't relentlessly blaming them for what they helped create. Rather, acknowlege together what is at stake and that TOGETHER we can triumph.
I cover much of what you're saying here in the article below.
Yes, we have to offer them a way out of the cult, or else, they'll never leave it.

This is the best piece I’ve read about strategy and the reality of this cobbled-together right-wing coalition. Can you please send this to every Democratic strategist, elected representative, and staffer?
I for one would love to see Jeffries stop calling Rs the "EXTREME MAGA REPUBLICANS"
Also, if you think this is good, you might want to check out the rest of the Playbook, of which this article is a part of:

What about all those lame “red pill” “alpha” incel morons? We can’t discount their role in all this. I’d say they’re one of the more visible and prominent “limbs” on this monster.
I probably should've called Young MAGA "Red Pill" instead. I'll look into updating the diagram at some point
Nice classification analysis and geometric chart! It's nice to see organized what lurks under those hideous hats!
I prefer to think of it as the Mark of the Clown for the damned. But that’s just me.
Truer words…

Thank you. This helps. I’ll be looking forward to a Young-MAGA/Red-Pillers article.
I’m curious where you see the Sovereign Movement fitting into this matrix.
They’re not fake Christians — they’re heretics, pure and simple.
I like it! Break them down.
We do need a new name for Trump supporters, that doesn’t credit Trump’s false phrase. I’ve always liked Maggats, but, perhaps a well read content provider, can designate or have a contest to rename, with shame.
I'd say don't use anything that harkens back to MAGA, like Maggats, Maggots, Magats, etc. It all just unifies them back as MAGA, even if you think you're being creative.

The Billionaire Oligarchy’s wealth hoarding pushes 90% toward poverty.
This is orchestrated—central banks, shadow elites, corporate control.
Time’s critical.
Revolt isn’t optional; it’s survival.
Wake up.
Fight back. #BreakTheChains
