It’s a MAGA rift, and conservatives are drawing battle lines: Tucker Carlson versus the pro-Israel wing, and the test is simple: if you back Israel, you get to define what MAGA means; if you don’t, you’re a MAGA traitor. Imagine caring more about a slogan than about children dying. What kind of movement is that? Over the weekend, war-loving conservatives, otherwise known as neocons, took to the Republican Jewish Convention and issued all manner of condemnation against Carlson and people like him who are willing to question Israel’s influence in American politics and foreign wars. I don’t think it is going to stick. Young conservatives are not willing to put foreign intervention above their own civil demands and they are certainly not afraid of threats from Senator Lindsey Graham to “beat your brains out.” We should all find this exciting! Republicans are refusing to let endless foreign wars be papered over by party loyalty. They want their party to deliver on ending foreign interventions, not use MAGA as a cudgel to silence dissent. That’s the intellectual honesty I wanted from Democrats during the Biden years when bad economic policy, endless aid packages, and social-media censorship went mostly unquestioned. Party loyalty should not eclipse basic principles. I like this manifesto from the Liberty Lockdown. If Republicans do not hear this generation’s demands to end foreign interference, the next generation will burn the old house down and build something new. Maybe Democrats should join them!
