When we talk about the American far right, it's not a question of –
Who endorses the use of violence and who doesn't?
It's a question of where they want to direct the violence.
For the kind of Christian Zionist crowd that surrounds Donald Trump, they want the violence directed at America's enemies abroad and at Israel's enemies.
And the America First crowd wants the violence directed at America's internal enemies, as they understand them.
Migrants and LGBTQ folks and the kind of enemies within.
It's more of a blood and soil nativism where a more Christian Zionist crowd
They're actually moving out of the conventional space of Christian nationalism more into a space of Christian imperialism, a model of American dominance in the world and of Christian dominance over the world.
That is the question that this civil war is over.
We see this in a number of surveys, both in the right wing, the left wing, the center, is really moving against Israel.
I think you're going to see a lot more anti-Israel sentiment in public, including among some Republican politicians.
Tucker Carlson has disavowed Trump.
Nick Fuentes has encouraged his followers, if they vote in 2026, to vote Democrat, to send a message to Trump.
I mean, the anger, this hostility within Trump's coalition is very powerful.
I will note Trump has moved us away, moved his coalition very far away from the mindset of liberal democracy, more into the mindset of authoritarianism, of a central leader, a central party, a one-party state that grabs hold of the levers of power, maybe through a legitimate election, but then refuses to let go.
And we already saw this in 2020 with the attempt to overthrow the election.
And I really do think it's worth all of us paying attention to the factional concerns within Trump's coalition, because that may very well be the future governing coalition that is imposed upon us.
Matt, thanks so much.
Thank you, Brooke.
