I'm your host, Greg Sergeant. Some of the biggest far right figures on the internet are deeply worried that

Donald Trump is in the process of losing the election to Kamala Harris.

The Washington Post reports that these

personalities are waging war on the Trump campaign which could complicate efforts

to keep the MAGA movement unified behind Trump and the race's final stretch.

Intrigingly, this is deeply at odds with what some of Trump's more mainstream allies are saying,

which is that the polls are wrong or even rigged that Trump can't possibly be losing.

We think this moment reveals something interesting about what happens to the Maga Right

when it faces extreme pressure and copes with serious self-doubt.

Today we're discussing this with Jared Holt, a senior researcher at the Institute for Strategic

Dialogue who closely tracks the online far right and spends as much time as anyone alive

making sense of mega. Good to have you on, Jared. Hey, thanks for having me, Greg, and

every time I hear, you know, my job read back to me,

I just think, what have I done these last 10 years?

Yeah, man, I will tell you, I do not envy you.

It's, it certainly is a way to make a living.
