Slight digression... I am so tempted to update All The Tropes' Style Guide on the use of abbreviations with this text:

Don't use abbreviations. Be kind to the dozens if not hundreds of people who hear "MAGA" and do ''not'' immediately think of the now-defunct [https://www.theshelbyreport.com/2014/12/...perations/ Mexican American Grocers Association] (and many of them think of the [https://www.minnesotaapple.org/ Minnesota Apple Growers Association] instead), and avoid abbreviations altogether.

But, hey, if somebody says "MAGA" without context, feel free to ask "Why are you talking about the Mexican American Grocers Association?"
