8. Old maga (Trump I) is being displaced by new maga (Trump II)

There is overlap to be sure, but I look for Trump himself and other new maga to start painting the old coalition as a bunch of slightly simple to outright nutz group of cranks, women, and others suspected of being a little soft in the head.

Old maga is Q-anon, low-information, poorly educated. Some were veterans of the Tea Party, some were dittohead types but mostly they were the great unwashed masses. They can name Kardashians and quarterbacks and ™Real Housewives but not a single Speaker of the House or the three branches of government.

New maga is basically the coalition of bros. Tech bros, manosphere bros, crypto bros, incel bros, etc. If you are part of a group that is nearly exclusively white and male (younger is better but rich will do) new maga is here to help you swing your dick like the boss you were entitled to be at your birth.
