      GOP stands for “Grand Old Party”, which is a nickname for the Republican Party in the United States.

      MAGA is an acronym which stands for “Make America Great Again”, and was used by Trump during his run for the presidency. It has since been used to indicate those that follow Trump and his policies.

          To clarify even further, there was a failed painter in 1930s Germany who ran on the same slogan (except “Deutschland” not “America”). Also used the whole “fake news” thing (or “lugenpresse” in that case)

          …I wonder how things turned out with that guy.

        MAGA has traditionally stood for “Make America Great Again,” but I suspect after this year it might change to either:

        Make Attorneys Get Attorneys

        or
