6. MAGAs Response & Policy Proposals

• [45:12-47:53] Host, Bannon, Posobiec:

  • The core MAGA view is that President Trump must "double down" on military and law enforcement deployment, take more aggressive action against perceived left-wing threats, and seek accountability (e.g., court-martialing Mark Kelly).
