AI Summary

Young MAGA men like old WASP styles for respect, but also want to seem working class. They love fancy Ivy League looks but hate the actual establishment. It's all about pretending. To get a good look, you need to live in cities like San Francisco or New York where good tailors are. Visiting isn't enough—you need to stay long, but many are scared of those cities.

the paradox of young MAGA men: fetishizes pre-1990s WASP aesthetics bc they associate it with respectability and status, but also wants to pose as working class. loves establishment ivy league looks, but hates the establishment ivy league. ultimately just about a performance.

the only way to get a good version of this look is to live in san francisco or new york city, as those are the only cities left with access to good tailors. you can't just visit; you have to stay, as you will rely on traveling operations. but you are scared of those cities.
