The Organization Most Comparable to MAGA is Hamas
1,500 American terrorists pardoned
In what alcoholics refer to as a moment of clarity (thank you, Jules Winfield), the similarities between MAGA and Hamas became clear to me when listening to news of the Phase 1 implementation of the Israel/Hamas peace treaty. Despite all attempts to weed them out, HAMAS followers took to the streets, making known their return to power. Phase one calls for the release of 33 hostages held by Hamas, and the first three were released on the same day as the Trump inauguration. The release of 737 Palestinian prisoners and detainees began around the same time Trump announced pardons for 1,500 of the January 6th participants. Already released are the leaders of the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys, who were convicted of seditious conspiracy.
It may be hard to wrap your head around thinking of MAGA as a terrorist organization. Consider where they evolved from. MAGA didn’t spring up when Trump rode down an escalator in 2015. Trump merely gave a name to something that has existed since 1865, when white supremacists in the South found themselves temporarily out of power. HAMAS is relatively new compared to the essence of MAGA. HAMAS has its roots in the Muslim Brotherhood, founded in 1928 before there was a State of Israel.
