Really important piece on the link between MAGA and the attempted coup in South Korea. We need to watch what’s happening in South Korea; a lot of linkages to oligarchs here and the MAGA playbook.
My latest for @inthesetimesmag.bsky.social “How MAGA Made Its Way to South Korea”
While Yoon was barricaded inside his home, his supporters waved U.S. flags and adopted Trump’s “Stop the Steal” slogan to protest his impeachment.
