The schism within MAGA does not mean that the Right will simply destroy itself and that things will automatically get better.
Unless we embrace collective action to address the material conditions that got us here, MAGA will birth a more extreme, even more fascist and Neo-Nazi movement.

It’s true that some MAGA supporters are losing faith in Trump and expressing frustration. But evidence and trends suggest they’re flocking to explicit Fascists and growing more radicalized.

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.
