About this listen

When Donald Trump entered the race in 2016, the MAGA movement promised something different: accountability for elites, no new wars, constitutional conservatism, and an America-first foreign policy.This episode asks a hard but necessary question: what happened?In this short reflection, Zack looks at how the MAGA movement has shifted away from its original values — from Epstein accountability and anti-war commitments to endless foreign funding, constitutional erosion, and the disavowing of America First voices who won’t fall in line. From warrantless ICE entry to regime-change politics and empire-style foreign policy, this no longer looks like a constitutional republic.This isn’t an attack from the outside. It’s a critique from someone who supported Trump, believed in MAGA, and is now openly disappointed.If America is going to behave like an empire, this episode argues, we should at least be honest about it — because the American people didn’t sign up for endless wars, elite protection, or a government that ignores the Constitution.
