'Mar-a-Lago face:' MAGA's aesthetic loyalty test
About this episode
The episode explores the aesthetics of MAGA and their implications on power, influence, race, and femininity.
The MAGA look — you know the one: dramatic eyeliner, long, wavy hair, sheath dresses — is a defining feature of President Trump's Republican Party. And it's about a lot more than appearances. Journalist Inae Oh joins us to talk about what the aesthetics of MAGA tell us about power, influence, race and femininity.
