I really don't want to encourage fear, but, #DavidNeiwert is one person that I have great respect for. We have tolerated the #MAGA #TrumpCult bs for so long, and now we are facing a torrent of craziness coming our way. I have interviewed on these issues a few times..

" . . we’re talking about unstable people, acting out. Except in the case of January 6th, when it wasn’t just that; it was that the unstable people were being ginned up."

The Election Story Nobody Wants to Talk About

A Q&A with David Neiwert, America’s foremost writer and thinker on far-right extremism, on what might happen if Trump wins—or loses

The American Prospect

"In Trump-loving rural areas, daily life 'had become filled with foreboding, intimidation, threats and ugliness, all emanating from authoritarian rightwingers directing their aggression at anyone who failed to follow their dictates'.

"The book ends with a horrifying description of how the the movement has metastasized since the January 6 attack. By fall 2021, Proud Boys and 'patriots' were everywhere, harassing 'LGBTQ+-friendly teens at libraries, mask-promoting school board members and mall shops that required masks'."

A 'terrifying new book' details the surge of 'authoritarian extremism' the MAGA movement has encouraged

To get a sense of how far to the right the Republican Party has moved, one need only compare 2023's MAGA Republicans to politicians who were considered arch-conservative during the 1960s and 1970s.

Conspiracy theories can be many things to different people. For some, it’s fun: the entertainment value of outlandish “alternative facts,” the promise of secrets revealed, the thrill of envisioning oneself a detective, scouring the internet for clues.
