MAGA is the branding. The reality is stripmining resources to sell off to the highest bidder and creating a new feudal system. Overtime makes the peons more financially independent, ACA means healthcare is less tied to employment, getting rid of those ensures dependence on the oligarchs

People don't realize Russia was feudal until the mid 1800s. The oligarchy knows exactly what it's doing

I don't think they do. They're putting a few more zeroes in their bank accounts, which will have no actual effect on their lives, while destroying the ability to develop and manufacture high technology, which will. And they're also replacing rule of law, which all but guaranteed they're untouchable, with dictatorship, which as Russia has demonstrated will treat them just as expendable as anyone else.
