Commentary: MAGA's 'big tent' is burning down amid explosion of antisemitism, racism
"Last week, MAGA had a total anti-Indian meltdown on social media, revealing a deep, ugly racism toward South Asians. It comes amid the first real rebellion about rampant and increasingly open antisemitism within the MAGAverse, creating a massive rift between traditional conservatives and a younger, rabidly anti-Jewish contingent called groypers whose leader, Nick Fuentes, recently posted that he is "team Hitler.""
"Turns out, when you cultivate a political movement based on hate, at some point the hate is uncontrollable. In fact, that hate needs to be fed to maintain power - even if it means feasting on its own. This monster of white-might ugliness is going to dominate policy and politics for the next election, and these now-public fights within the Republican party represent a new dynamic"
South Asians hold prominent positions in Trump's circle, including Second Lady Usha Vance, Harmeet Dhillon, and FBI head Kash Patel. Some Republicans cite that diversity for 2024 gains among Black and Latino voters. A recent surge of anti-Indian vitriol on MAGA social media exposed deep racism toward South Asians. Simultaneous, open antisemitism among a younger groyper faction led by Nick Fuentes has created a major rift with traditional conservatives. A political movement built on hate becomes uncontrollable and requires feeding to maintain power, threatening to dominate policy and force the Republican Party toward either soul-searching or a purge into white Christian nationalism.
