As Americans gather this Thanksgiving to celebrate our nation’s rich history, it’s worth reflecting on the similarities between the Pilgrims’ journey and the modern-day MAGA movement.

Both groups, separated by centuries, actually share a common thread: they both have a profound desire to establish a society rooted in self-governance, freedom, and shared values.

The Mayflower Compact and the MAGA movement are alike in their core purpose—they both represent a push for self-governance and accountability. The Compact was about people coming together to create a system that worked for them, without interference from an overreaching, bloated authority. MAGA is about everyday Americans reclaiming control from a massive, crooked government and returning power to the people. Both are rooted in the belief that communities thrive when they can chart their own course, free from the heavy hand of elites trying to dictate their lives.

History Channel:

The Mayflower Compact was a set of rules for self-governance established by the English settlers who traveled to the New World on the Mayflower. When Pilgrims and other settlers set out on the ship for America in 1620, they intended to lay anchor in northern Virginia. But after treacherous shoals and storms drove their ship off course, the settlers landed in Massachusetts instead, near Cape Cod, outside of Virginia’s jurisdiction. Knowing life without laws could prove catastrophic, colonist leaders created the Mayflower Compact to ensure a functioning social structure would prevail.

The MAGA movement is a call for “national renewal.” Fast forward to 2024, and the MAGA movement is a clear response to complete and total deviations from what our Founding Fathers created. It’s a response to an about-face from traditional American principles. MAGA wants a return to the nation’s core values, that focus on sovereignty, economic independence, and a government that is not running amuck and is accountable to its citizens.

We love seeing patriots like Ted Nugent teach children what it truly means to be thankful, resourceful, and proud Americans, with music and stories.

The MAGA movement is a modern spin on the self-governing ideals that the Pilgrims yearned for centuries ago. The Pilgrims were searching for freedom to live their lives and practice their faith without being crushed by an overbearing system. They wanted a smaller, more accountable form of governance, one that respected their choices and allowed them to build a better future on their own terms. Sounds familiar, right?

Both the Pilgrims and the MAGA movement faced tough challenges.The Pilgrims dealt with harsh conditions and opposition to their beliefs, while the MAGA movement has gone to war with the regime-run propaganda media and the Deep State. But, despite these obstacles, both groups remained steadfast in their commitment to their vision for a free society.

The Pilgrims left behind a legacy of resilience and determination, the same qualities we see in the MAGA movement today. Both of us share that unshakable drive to push through adversity and build a society that truly reflects their values and beliefs.

So, as we gather this Thanksgiving in 2024, let’s take a moment to honor the bold spirit of those who came before us and reflect on the battle we’re still fighting to preserve America’s soul. The Pilgrims’ quest for a fresh start and the MAGA movement’s push for renewal both share that timeless fight for freedom, shared values, and a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. It’s a powerful reminder that the quest for a better, stronger society never truly ends—it’s handed down, generation after generation.

And this year, perhaps more than ever, Americans have so much to be thankful for.

Happy Thanksgiving from your family at Revolver.
