MAGA’s Cultural Relevance Fades Amidst Outrage and Denial
Trump’s decision to skip Super Bowl LX, opting instead to remain home and post on social media, signals a shift in his cultural influence. This contrasts with his prior attendance at Super Bowl LIX, where he was met with applause, and the widespread concern over the right’s growing cultural power through influencers and online content. Now, his allies’ “alternative” halftime show, featuring a largely unknown lineup, suggests a diminished ability to engage with mainstream culture. The article notes a past trend of Trump’s growing appeal, particularly among young men, fueled by a perceived normalization of his persona and a more right-wing cultural landscape.
