Republican National Convention: Emphasizing Theater Over Policy

Setting Sights on Making MAGA Permanent

The recent Republican National Convention put a spotlight on theater rather than policy, with one clear theme emerging – the GOP's ambitions to make MAGA a permanent fixture in American politics. Reporters Stephen Janis and Taya Graham share insights from the convention floor in Milwaukee.

MAGA: A Religious Fervor

Speakers at the RNC expressed a vision of MAGA lasting for decades, with a fervor akin to a religious movement. The passion and inspiration surrounding Donald Trump as a leader were evident, with references to miraculous survival and a lion-like resilience.

Solidifying MAGA's Future

Participants at the convention discussed the need to solidify MAGA as a permanent force in the Republican Party and American politics. From a new populist movement to plans for Project 2025, the focus is on ensuring the longevity of conservative ideals.

Political Rhetoric and Aggression

Amid calls to tamp down aggressive and violent political rhetoric, some attendees expressed a sense of being at war and the need for action. The temperature of political discourse was seen as dangerously high, with concerns about the future of the Democratic Party.

J.D. Vance and Project 2025

Highlighting J.D. Vance as a key figure in the Republican Party's future, the convention aimed to solidify MAGA through figures like Vance. Project 2025, a comprehensive plan by the Heritage Foundation and other organizations, seeks to shape the conservative movement in government for years to come.
