12. It's fractured big time now

Some Republicans calling it a Republican civil war and on social media, MTG’s side is winning.

So / Tucker, MTG, Candace, Massie, Rand Paul, Gaetz & on some issues (money for genocide) Megan Kelly, Fuentes, Alex Jones and Bannon vs Josh Hawley, Ben Shapiro, and Mark Levin. Kevin and Hawley gave vague threats to some in first group - using words “neutralized “ and “take care of”.
Popular Libertarians & very popular podcasters like Dave Smith & Clint Russell are in the mix debating and appearing on podcasts backing first group.

Republican youth are mostly anti genocide, anti war - which became the big problem for Kirk. When Kirk had Josh Hawley & Libertarian Dave Smith -Jewish/podcaster/comic/anti genocide, anti war - debate at Turning Points big event in 2024 in Tampa - and the kids said Dave won the debate. So huge donors to Turning Points were really mad because the Republican kids liked the Libertarian better than the Republican.

The good thing is many are no longer supporting Trump. Candace - whose podcast was number one in world this week (she beat Rogan) apologized for telling people to vote for Trump.

This is all great for Democrats as Republicans might be less motivated to vote.
