056: MAGA Goes Global feat. Heidi Beirich
Description
MAGA has gone global. What started as an American political movement has evolved into an international force, energizing radical-right groups across the world and creating networks that link European extremists directly to sitting members of the U.S. Congress. Heidi Beirich, one of the leading researchers on the radical right and co-founder of the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism (GPAHE), joins us to explore how we got here and what the global landscape looks like now.
But first, the guys try to make sense of the increasingly bizarre vibes inside MAGA itself. Trump is suddenly praising Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani, Marjorie Taylor Greene is rebranding using "woke" language, and no one seems to know what's happening anymore.
GPAHE Stories We Discussed:
Alleged Jakarta Bomber Leaves Behind Digital Trail Worshiping Past Racist Attackers
Europe’s White Nationalist Identitarian Movement Ramping Up Fundraising Efforts
Mapping The Far Right: The Movement’s Conferences Illuminate Its Growing Transnational Networks
