Wikipedia provides this introduction to Michael Moore:
Michael Francis Moore (born April 23, 1954) is an American film director, producer, screenwriter, and author. Moore’s work frequently addresses various social, political, and economic topics. He first became publicly known for his award-winning debut documentary Roger & Me, a scathing look at the downfall of the automotive industry in 1980s Flint and Detroit.
Moore followed up and won the 2002 Academy Award for Best Documentary Featurefor Bowling for Columbine, which examines the causes of the Columbine High School massacre and the overall gun culture in the United States. He directed and produced Fahrenheit 9/11, a critical look at the early presidency of George W. Bush and the War on Terror, which earned $119,194,771 to become the highest-grossing documentary at the American box office of all time.[1] The film won the Palme d’Or at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival, and was the subject of intense controversy.[2] His documentary Sicko examines health care in the United States, and is one of the top ten highest-grossing documentaries as of 2020.[1] In September 2008, he released his first free film on the Internet, Slacker Uprising, which documents his personal quest to encourage Americans to vote in presidential elections.[3] He has written and starred in TV Nation, a satirical news-magazine television series, and The Awful Truth, a satirical show. In 2018, he released his latest film, Fahrenheit 11/9, a documentary about the 2016 United States presidential election and the presidency of Donald Trump. He was executive producer of Planet of the Humans (2019), a documentary about the environmental movement.
Moore’s works criticize topics such as globalization, big business, assault weaponownership, Presidents Bill Clinton,[4] George W. Bush, and Donald Trump,[5] the Iraq War, the American health care system, and capitalism overall. In 2005, Time named Moore one of the world’s 100 most influential people.[6]
As you may have gathered from the above, Moore has been a reliably left-leaning commentator and darling of the progressive elitists who control the government, academia and corporate media.
So it was with great surprise that I came across a brief YouTube video in which Moore distills and capsulizes the meaning of the MAGA movement and the inexplicable – to the progressive left – appeal of Donald Trump to the working class. To say that this video is a departure from Moore’s previous position on Trump is a profound understatement.

I urge you to do so.
Moore nails it.
