I felt like it went into overdrive in 2016. Maybe partially driven by a certain political figure who seemed to be the perfect foil. I think the irony of MAGA is that it made a bad situation far worse. Or rather, it was a self-fulfilling prophecy. The question is whether or not we’ve learned that lesson.
