For me, there is a deeper problem that this framing can't answer: the pervasive sense among all people that things have gone wrong and a lack of any kind of stable sense of identity.
The maga right has been successful because they speak to that sense of alienation. That their policies are nonsensical and counter to the material interests of their supporters is utterly beside the point. They promise a reassuring sense of order and stability to a desperate populace. This is cross cutting across economic classes. Rich and poor people alike are fearful of their place in a society that threatens to leave them behind. The strongman is comforting.
Even though the maga movement is not particularly popular (they barely beat a deeply unpopular administration and only because they relentlessly misled their voters and relied on their voters irrational projections of the good they would do them), they are far more powerful than the opposition because they have a far stronger base of support.
Better policy ideas, which I do support, is not the way out of this mess.
To me, it is a grave mistake to think irrationality can be defeated with rationality. Sure, the abundance agenda is rationally superior to maga. But it does not in any way address the pervasive feelings of alienation and disconnection in modern life. At best it offers the promise that we can more comfortably feel these feelings.
The only thing that will truly stamp out maga is a counter movement that address the deeper spiritual issues that we face collectively. Personally, I am not optimistic that will happen until we go through a lot of pain and chaos.
I pray I'm wrong.
