Exploring Politics and Modern History: A Retrospective on 2025 Under the MAGA Banner
In a historic moment, Donald Trump was sworn in for a second term as the President of the United States on January 20, 2025. The inauguration took place in the Capitol in Washington, D.C., the same site where an attempt to prevent the democratic transfer of power occurred four years earlier.
The speech delivered by Trump during his second inauguration was a call for a "golden age" for his country. He expressed his gratitude to his supporters, particularly those who backed the "Make America Great Again" (MAGA) movement, which had been instrumental in his presidency.
The MAGA movement, which supported Trump's presidency, has evolved during his second term. The Identitarian Movement, an identity-strong group known for its far-right ideology, recruitment efforts in schools, and spreading of racist and conspiracy narratives, has gained prominence. Some believe this group, potentially supported by Trump's government, plays an important role in his second term.
In his first term, Trump relied on established Republican personnel. However, in his second term, he can lean more heavily on a loyal, devoted circle from his MAGA movement. This shift could indicate a more focused and unified approach to governance, with fewer balancing factors.
The Capitol, a symbol of American democracy, was the site of the attempt by supporters of the MAGA movement to prevent the democratic transfer of power four years earlier. Yet, on this day, it stood as a testament to the resilience of American democracy, hosting the inauguration of the man who had been at the centre of the controversy.
As Trump takes the oath of office for a second time, the future of American politics remains uncertain. Yet, one thing is clear: the MAGA movement, now more entrenched than ever, will continue to play a significant role in shaping the course of the nation.
