Prominent Progressive Now Optimistic: 'MAGA Is Not My Mortal Enemy,' The Establishment Is

Uygur went on to relish the demise of corporate media.

• "It’s not just that the establishment candidate lost, it’s that their media is mortally wounded. The source of their strength was not insipid politicians like Mitch McConnell and Joe Biden. The source of their strength was their propaganda machine – the mainstream media.
  
  

  Now, online media is strong enough that their oppressive monopoly on the American mind has been broken. Now, we’re in the jungle. They hate that! I love it! This uncontrolled marketplace of ideas is where I’m home. I’d rather be in the populist woods than an establishment prison."

Remember when Trump was asked about fears of a vengeful Trump 2nd term, he replied, "My revenge will be my success." His promise might be prophetic. Cenk Uygur, a prominent progressive, who once considered MAGA his mortal enemy now says he is feeling "optimistic" about a Trump second term.

• "I've been trying to figure out why I'm more optimistic now than I was before the election, even though I was so against the guy who won. I know now. MAGA is not my mortal enemy (and neither is the extreme left). My mortal enemy is the establishment. And they have been defeated!"
