David Faris examines the state of MAGA. Are they losing their minds or is this a carefully choreographed political strategy designed to win the election? Case in point...Trump's declaration that Kamala Harris was Indian before she was Black. If it's a strategy--as opposed to deranged racism--it's probably bound to fail. David explains why. David Faris is a political science professor at Roosevelt University and a columnist for Slate and Newsweek. He's also one of the only Democratic-leaning pundits who begged and pleaded for Biden not to run for re-election--and he was making this case long before it was fashionable. His views are his own.
