AI Summary
5 min readDan Bongino returns from a week off with a single, urgent warning: a coordinated “demoralization op” is underway, aimed at fracturing the MAGA movement from within. He argues that a coalition of liberal media, socialist activists, and what he calls “Folex MAGA”—fake MAGA figures who parrot left-wing talking points—is working to suppress conservative morale and undermine the Trump administration’s record. The episode is a sustained argument for recognizing this operation, rejecting its emotional appeals, and staying focused on measurable results.
