Thank you to @Randall Fragg for giving me this idea.
Donald Trump's winning slogan "Make America Great Again" spoke to many people who were or at least felt like they were left behind on American soil. Places like the Rust Belt and Detroit were once manufacturing power houses of the United States, are now reduced to economic wastelands. Many hard working people rendered jobless, such as coal miners, wanted to be represented and to have not just their local economies reinvigorated but the entire U.S. to be reinvigorated.
There is a severe disconnect between America's representatives in Washington DC and the rest of the United States. The United States populace are neither heard nor served, meanwhile the Democrat globalist woke party are more than accommodating to foreign economic migrants waltzing across the Southern border illegally, meanwhile the Republican party sit on their laurels and are deliberately ineffective, lethargic and milquetoast in combating the terrible policies of the woke left, doing more to hobble MAGA Republicans in their own party than their alleged opponent Uniparty brothers in the Democrat party. The Republican party's self sabotage and history of sandbagging the American populace is in large part whey I decided to write this. Your current third parties are irrelevant and treated like a joke, with the Libertarian party being held in low regard (for some reason, all the ones brought to me are nonsense generalities) and the Green party is just an old-school version of the woke Democrat party. That's all before getting into globalist shills who are more loyal to the World Economic Forum than they are to the U.S.
So let us discuss policies we would like to be part of the MAGA ideology formally. I'll start with the obvious ones that most people agree upon.
Populism
The citizen comes before the foreigner. Citizens want their interests represented, not to have their problems be ignored and disregarded. That much seems to be anathema to the Uniparty, as it seems they find their own constituents contemptable at best and an active obstacle at worst. The Uniparty is more concerned with accommodating illegal immigrants than they are the very people who voted them into office. They're seemingly not at all interested in upholding decent standards of living for the average American but in siphoning economic value to people who don't even speak the language. The goal of the MAGA party should be to elevate the American people and not foreign interests. Any manufacturing that can feasibly be brought back to America should.
Border Control
The United States is overrun with illegal immigrants, to the point it reached its apex right after Joe Biden became *president, with literally millions of people crossing the border in mere months. The incomplete wall from the previous Trump administration did little but bottleneck the travel path illegal immigrants took into the United States. Having a rush of foreigners with no accountability whatsoever enter the country, especially from a neighboring country that's infamous for its ruthless cartels which are themselves infamous for drug trafficking and human trafficking, is a disaster unto itself, never mind both the foreseeable and unforeseeable consequences of letting it happen. It's to the point that people from other continents like Africa are using Mexico as a stopping point to enter the U.S. through a gap in the border wall. Democrats and RINOs both oppose the wall for the absurd reason it's racist to do otherwise, meanwhile nobody ever makes mention of the fact that Mexico has its own border wall to the South of their country that's enforced with armed guards. This unmitigated flood of non-citizens can't be allowed to continue.
Free Speech
We have the First Amendment, which prevents the Federal Government from acts of direct censorship of the dissident populace. However, the Uniparty has taken it upon themselves to use social media companies as their personal censorship apparatus and regularly ask for certain perspectives, politics and people to be censored or kicked off said sites. The Uniparty loathes the First Amendment and want it expunged, and are willing to do whatever shady, under the table garbage they have to in order to circumvent it. Politicians should not be able to strong arm, persuade or threaten social media companies into filtering only political perspectives they agree with, nor should foreign interests like the Sauds. No, this is not a call to abolish Section 230, which does more to protect social media users than it does social media companies. Donald Trump was wrong about Section 230.
Gun Rights
The Founding Fathers wanted United States citizens to own their own artillery. This is because they realize how instrumental private ownership of firearms is in achieving and maintaining freedom, to the point that Benjamin Franklin donated his own collection of cannons to the war effort. The propensity of gun ownership toward individual liberty is the chief reason the Uniparty, Democrats in particular, hate gun ownership. Due to technological reasons, being able to stand up to tyranny is arguably more important now than it was then. The rules of mutually assured destruction scale down to the citizenry with guns, meaning that an armed society is a polite society. The good guy with a gun is not a myth. Self defense is fundamental to the American way of life and Kyle Rittenhouse did nothing wrong.
Privacy, Anti-Surveillance & Small Government
Shrink the bureaucracy, defang the Pretorian Guard. People should not be charged taxes specifically for transactions of $600, and the government has no place surveilling United States citizens, treating everyone as guilty until proven innocent and without just cause. The Patriot Act is an abomination with a loyalist sounding label. Life in the United States should not be a labyrinth of dos and don'ts with mutual contradictions in-between. The nanny state is antithetical to the United States. Dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery.
Oil, gas and nuclear power
Green energy, outside of nuclear power, is impractical, unreliable and inefficient. We should make it less difficult to drill oil and build refineries (without adding risk in furtherance to cause an accident, that is). Stop taxing oil and gas to death to create artificial scarcity to forcibly make non-nuclear green energy demand. Hindering oil and gas production only makes the United States, and the world at large, more poor. The goal of MAGA should be to elevate Americans, which the green push does not.
Anti de-banking
Banks should be legislated to be the same as landline companies, as neutral providers. Banks should not have the power to freeze bank accounts at the drop of a dime over a politically disagreeable idea. Banks are an integral part of society, more so than landlines are, yet they're used as a weapon against the general populace whenever a protest occurs. Canada and Brazil can attest to this. Banks should not function as a tool for the government nor should they act as their own government. Banks are not the thought police.
Payment Processor Neutrality
Payment processors like Visa and Mastercard are more powerful than banks are, and should especially be legislated as neutral providers. There's fewer of them and they practically control all commerce. The power they wield unilaterally is case enough to legislate that Crypto currency never be legislated. Payment processors need to be politically neutered, trust busted and absolved of their unilateral power to unperson those they personally disagree with. Payment processors are not the thought police.
Net Neutrality
Internet Service Providers and all functionaries of the Internet should be legislated to be neutral providers. The internet is similarly integral to every day life in much the same way, they should have the ability to throttle, hijack or otherwise meddle with legal websites like Kiwi Farms. ISPs and all the other facets of the Internet are not the thought police. No, this is not a call to abolish Section 230.
These policies are my two cents off the top of my head and I obviously can't cover everything. Please feel free to add your pet MAGA policies to the discussion. I'll eventually add a poll so everyone can vote on policy by priority.
