AnotherTwitter user pointed outthat the two slogans also share an almost identical acronym with Trump’s reading “MAGA” and Homelander’s reading “MASA.”

The Boys Season 4 will mostly deal with a lot of politics as Homelander is backing presidential candidate Victoria Neuman in the hopes that she will help him with his agenda to make superheroes the dominant “race” in America.
The season also acts as acontinuation of the spin-off series Gen V, which ended with Homelanderrecruiting two highly powerful super college studentsto his cause.
