Bernie always was MAGA but not for the slogan but actually to improve people's lives.
Well take away the "again" because America never had what he wants.
We did have a 90% tax bracket... and Roe v. Wade, and Presidents who were presumably accountable to the justice system, and elections that people generally accepted the outcome, and much less toxic disconnect between political parties, and media that wasn't all owned by a handful of billionaires, and we had the Fairness Doctrine, and Citizens United.
So yah getting back to that basic level of functionality would be nice actually.
Whenever I think of "MAGA" I think of the strong middle class that characterized post-war America and wonder wtf these people are actually doing.
US has a lot of dark history for sure, but being middle class wasn't as bad as it is right now.
