Another excellent article from you!!!! Thank you so much. I did send you an article from Asha Rangappi also on Substack. She has an excellent article about the different versions of MAGA. According to her there are 3 main versions. 1 is the Christian nationalists. 2 are the tech-bros like Thiel and Yarvin and 3 are the Loomers, and there are small pockets of others. Nick Fuentes and his sort of MAGAs are more far right than most and the shooter in Utah places some words and symbols on the bullet casings that apparently relate to a gaming group supported by Fuentes called Groypers. Unless you are into this then you would not have heard about it as I had not. Asha and Allison Gill had a podcast about a on-line game that these symbols are a part of and talked about the game and the players and Fuentes. It was enlightening. As these gamers are a sub-culture all their own and someone connected to this are very likely marching to a different drum. But my point is that they are all right wingers and you said that when the leader of the cult is no longer then the parts will begin to fight with each other. The death of Charlie Kirk has shown some cracks in the cult already. And the right wingers have given the funeral to empathy while they are at it.

Absolutely fascinating essay this morning ☕ It took me a while to read it through, but what a perfect example of these types of behaviors explains your theory to a "T" Question, because the regime is so hell bent on punishing anyone who Speaks Out about Mr Kirk,Pam Boni has announced that they will be enforcing and punishing people's negative written thoughts on the matter, which is against the Free Speech amendment ??! So I'm to believe that we can be imprisoned for thought's??! What say you ? Thanks for making me smarter this morning ☕ Sam, and will reStack ASAP 🙏
