from Mallen Baker: Faultlines · host Mallen Baker
The Trump MAGA base - with its mix of personality cultists, conspiracy theorists and uneasy traditional Republicans - is in uproar right now as Tucker Carlson's recent interview with Nick Fuentes was seen by many to breach the line. The fight over what can, or cannot, be normalised is an early sign of the fight for the future soul of MAGA for the post-Trump era. Meanwhile, the other part of MAGA - that which is being planned and executed by the tech bros and other billionaires - is organising quietly, but not wholly unnoticed. New details of how they think, how they organise, and what they want to happen next, have just been revealed in the Washington Post today. Let's discuss.Article referenced in this video:https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2025/11/04/chris-buskirk-maga-vance-post-trump/ (paywall)
