Tucker Carlson has released what is arguably his most significant video to date, urging readers to preserve the core principles of the MAGA movement. The article emphasizes the need to define and protect the foundational values of MAGA, warning against its co-optation by figures within the Republican Party who allegedly prioritize personal gain over authentic ideals.
The text outlines five key pillars of MAGA:
1. America First: The government must prioritize American citizens’ interests above all else. Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign centered on this principle, challenging the notion that U.S. policies inherently serve domestic needs.
2. Borders: A nation has the right to control its borders, a concept highlighted by Trump’s repeated calls to “build that wall.” The article criticizes resistance to border security as evidence of globalist agendas.
3. No More Pointless Wars: Trump condemned wars not directly serving U.S. interests, such as the Iraq War, arguing they drain resources and harm Americans. His administration avoided new conflicts, a stance celebrated by MAGA supporters.
4. Bring Back Real Jobs: The text attributes economic decline to globalization, which it claims benefits elites while hollowing out American industry. Trump’s focus on reviving manufacturing is framed as a solution.
5. Free Speech: The article positions free speech as essential to liberty, with Trump opposing “woke culture” and cancel culture as threats to open discourse.
Carlson draws parallels between MAGA and Orwell’s Animal Farm, warning that movements risk corruption if their principles are not consistently upheld. The piece concludes by urging readers to share and preserve these ideas, ensuring they endure beyond any single leader.
