Yeah, good point. MAGA was actually coined (?) by Ronald Reagan's campaign, I think. But the
sentiments behind it (nostalgia, exceptionalism, jingoism, etc.) are age old. And they seem more
nest/hive/collective oriented than individualist mandates like the Commandments. It would be less
like
IDK. It seems like ecDNA, in general, can be either good or bad. And mitochondrial
DNA feels like a boon, overall. Maybe a better analogy would be ecDNA <-> media
and MAGA to the oncogenes being promoted. I think a useful foil for stressing the
analogy is the difference between a filter bubble
I see a lot of these.
The lies of Trump and his MAGA cult are a bit like extrachromosomal DNA that is
apparently behind many malignant cancers. Both are normally part of selfish
entities - single cell organisms or narcissistic con men - and disrupt or
distort the normal fabric of the world they live in.
