MAGA – Breaking Up Is Hard || Apr. 13, 2026
When Marjorie Taylor Greene, Tucker Carlson, and Alex Jones all turn on Trump on the same day...it's worth looking into.
These figures have all suckled at the MAGA teat for years, but it seems the milk may have finally soured. But is this really all an organic change, or is there someone pulling at the strings behind the scenes? It makes an awful lot of sense for the Russians to cause fractures in MAGA to weaken the U.S. position.
They say breakups are hard, so we'll see how MAGA and the broader U.S. political sphere handle this fragmentation.

Wait so what happened to the Russian are in the White House narrative that Peter put out last year? Is everyone just Russian? Cmon now
It’s Russian influence not Russians. Trump’s dealing with the oligarchs over the years. Gabbard. To say Russians aren’t playing both MAGA and the new anti-MAGA(former MAGA), would be to ignore their greatest weapon, social engineering.
Little strong Peter. Disagreements come and go. Maga voters see no alternative. Independents on the other hand are a different story
I’d honestly like to see a Zeihan and Fuentes debate. I love your points Peter but it is strange that you never speak on allied nefarious influence such as Israel which has more evidence than Putin controlling all these pundits. I’d be more out to say many of these podcasters have been disliking Trump for years but still had hope for him until Trump disavowed them all. Trump obviously disavowed them because he’s getting kickbacks from Israel… or who knows Israel just may have some blackmail on him which is a common tactic by Israel. The adelsons did give him 100m… which for some reason is never spoke about by “politically correct” commentators.
Hi Peter, I believe you, but do you have any original document evidence of Kremlin influence of these MAGA media figures? For instance, I get most everything you publish on Ukraine confirmed by ISW.
I still think the old Steele Dossier has something to it, and Putin does own Trump.
I take no encouragement from the fact that some of the haters have turned on Trump. So they came late to the party and did a lot of damage along the way. Cover the punchbowl.
I am getting a $15 offer to join. I already pay $5. Has that tier gone away, because so can I ??
We offer a $5 tier and a $15 tier. At the $15 tier, you get access to bonus videos, Live Q&As, and more. No need to upgrade if you're looking to watch the daily videos and read the news digests!
Just following your lead here - so if MAGA implodes ahead of the mid-term elections - this pretty much leaves the Dems as a large and semi-united (for the moment) voting block, which will just utterly dominate the mid-term elections *If* Trump doesn't find some way to cancel them. (I'm guess he won't not because he a tower of virtue, but he lacks the competence). This would allow the D's to run the next House *and* Senate, and with MAGA gone, obviously Trump will get impeached, tried and depending on the charges and how much self-preservation toe R Senators have - possible impeached. Does this serve Russian interests? Hmmmmmm
Sounds logical but the Democrats are incompetent enough to still lose even when everything is going their way!
MAGA was always going to eat itself eventually
Last year it was the end of democratic party. This year it's the end of the republican party. I guess the party is over. Seriously every other year someone is calling the end of a party and yet things keep rolling along.
They're both terrible and need to be replaced. Lose the fringes of both parties as a starting point.
Candace Owens is on another level of selling blatant lies to make money. She is disappointing and a complete joke. Same with ol' Tucker Carlson. Fox and The Daily Wire kept them relatively sane with content and oversight, but after both being fired, they've spiraled into Alex Jones territory.
Putin and Netanyahu both have something on him. Putin bailed him out of bankruptcy and Bibi had Epstein in his camp. Cheeto is a loyalist for the wrong countries.
They're both much smarter than him. That's what they have on him.
Since both parties have been hijacked by their respective radical elements, isn’t this, and the growing disharmony on the Left, a potentially good thing?
Although I mostly agree with you, the problem is that we have a 2-party system. People around the core (mostly moderates, me included) have to vote for someone. And when we do, the new administration puts an army of appointees in place that shapes the political and policy landscape. Those people come from the extremes of the parties (my opinion based on watching CA and the Federal elections). Is it changing? Maybe. But I can tell you here in CA the army of State appointees are showing off how liberal they are in hopes of getting re-appointed by the next Governor… assuming it’s another Democrat … they know they have no change of being re-appointed by a Republican. This has been a big problem for Newsom who wants to pivot to the middle but his army of State employees won’t follow! They’re still being ultra-liberal because their next jobs are on the line.
I mean, yes, all these folks mentioned are polemics and propagandists for their view of the world and, in fact, may be spouting views very much in line with what the Russians may want (wittingly or unwittingly) but when I talk to people who loved Trump and are now turning away from him the most common refrain I hear is basically that he's potentially dragged us into a new Forever War which will line the pockets of defense contractors and Trump's political allies with national treasure while completely turning away from even cursory lip service to any domestic agenda at a time when there are swaths of people struggling to make ends meet. Basically they're revolting because Trump has curiously become a hardcore neocon seemingly overnight and this was exactly the kind of thing they voted *against*. This doesn't quite strike me as purely explicable as the outcome of a Russian FSB propaganda campaign, nor even where that is the dominant factor in the separation of MAGA from Trump himself.
Placed more sanctions on Russia than any other President in history, destroying Russia's shadow fleet, shutting down their (oil) economic lifeline and replacing it with USA oil, actively arming Ukraine in a war against Russia..... I don't see a love affair here between Putin and Trump.
You're being pretty creative with the facts here...
Correct.. MAGA vanquished the radical and the dead weight and now the vanquished are hating on Trump. And yes, Trump has a super sized ego (and what US President didd not?). Peter, please explain to us why some Dems are cubically (and many privately) saying to their party "Never mind who gets the credit, let's get behind Trump in neutering Iran and re-establishing the USA as the worlds new energy supply.
“Treasonous” is a great description of MAGA. Useful Idiots of the FSB/KGB. This is where Putin has succeeded immensely while failing miserably as Tsar and military strategist. The Republican party died with John Mcain. Sadly, The Democrat leadership is inept and stuck in the sixties. They have NOTHING and NO ONE To offer, IMO.
And here I thought they worshipped the offal they walked on
Wait just one damn minute, you mean to tell me Bridget Macroon doesn’t have a dick?
Let’s hope the Dems or someone who can win a majority can put forward a vision to unify behind. I’m afraid there’s no going backwards to status quo, as enticing as Biden’s admin looks in the rear view mirror from this dumpster fire of a perspective.
The status quo leads to hear. Obama leads to Trump. Biden leads to Trump… If we do not make a fundamental change in our political system by letting neoliberalism die, we will keep coming back to a Trump like figure again and again and again, until eventually inevitably one of them will finally succeed in killing the republic.
How is calling Trump ( and Biden) remotely controversial. You’ve seen the footage of the carnage in Gaza right? But calling Russia genocidal at the drop of a hat is not problematic according to Peter Zionist
Keep your hate to yourself. I came here to see if anyone would support a lunatic like Owens, and now I see there are some...veiled as it is.
As best I can tell, most MAGA-type people consider MTG, Tucker, etc. to have become nutjobs. They are not leading the MAGA movement. MAGA probably is dwindling a bit but it is a bit too early for anyone to call it dead.
Like watching a wasp land on a nettle - someone's getting stung, I Dont care who, and I don't want to be too close when it happens.
Is a person a Russian plant because they are on the Trump train or off the train? I'm confused.
watch the video and it might help water-carrier ;)
Peter you quite literally said Israel is run by a sect of Judaism that wants to kill all non Jews
Which video and what time point? Or BS
Generations of Republicans must be turning in their graves.
It's called dancing
Breaking up is hard to do: Neil Sedaka
It’s simply a containment exercise by the establishment right with an invented and controlled opposition. They want to contain populism.
Could they just all be ideologically isolationist? And feel betrayed by Trump? What is going on with Tulsi btw?
MAGA was going to always die with Trump anyway.
Best news from a bleak few weeks!
"He'll have to do an ego adjustment..." Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaa
This was made long before Trump’s AI image post depicting himself as god last night. Nothing has changed.
Sorry to break the news to Peter and most of the commenters but as a 100% MAGA DJT supporter the names you list (Tucker, Alex, Candace, MTG) were never considered MAGA, just fringe clingers trying to expand their audience. I enjoy listening to PZ for his fact based analysis but his opinions on Trump are usually baseless. The GOP has been replaced by MAGA, thankfully. Having 2020 stolen was the best thing to happen. It put everything in the light; the J6 sham, weaponization of DOJ. Trump had to fight on every front and most thought he’s done. But MAGA watched, and knew, and trusted. Trump learned from 2016 he couldn’t trust the GOP, McConnell and Ryan. Now since 2024 he’s a wrecking ball to the left, the global cabal and is revealing how useless the EU, WHO, NATO really are. America is best when strong and decisive not the old Bush, Obama, Biden, playing TV personality POTUS. China is the current adversary; Panama, Venezuela, Iran, then Cuba and Russia will all fall in place and China will be left to collapse under the weight its own bad communist ideas.
Watch a lot of Fox News?
Wait... hasn't MTG been on Trump's hate-list for a good 6 months now when she quit congress and started speaking out against him?
She turned on him when he refused to endorse her for the Senate 6 months ago. But she and the other MAGA scumbags started using the same language in their criticisms of the Donald since over a week ago.
It is amazing how discouraging and susceptible the US has been to FSB destructive manipulation of our economy, politics, and many other important structures of a healthy democracy. One can hope for a shining star of a smart, capable, and humble leader rising to drag us up again to constitutional and rational health. But that is probably a fairy tale.
Actually is progressive and liberal policies that had led American decline. The GOP has been replaced by MAGA, and the Democrat Party has been replaced by the Democratic Socialist Party, which do you think is true to Americas core values?
Best break up ever 💔 I can't believe I'm saying this, but... Thanks Putin! Better than any MAFS. 🍿
Maga ending as a pol force wroth b great news
Don’t think the few bitter clingers (TC, CO, MTG, AJ) are MAGA.
Can someone educate me as to what the qualifications for the job of Anti Christ are again? Like what are the telltale signs? And what’s worse, the Anti Christ, or Satan?
@Kyle If you want a verse by verse breakdown, here's one that lists his boasts lies, arrogance, obsession with winning and "greatness", his ruling the most powerful military in the world, his coming from outside the political system and using intrigue and deception to take power with only a small number of followers, his unprecedented corruption that enriches himself and his loyal followers with land deals, he will blaspheme the Lord but be called godly be some of his followers and especially devout Christians, he'll be known for his lawlessness, he'll stir up resentment against the nation to the south and will inflict harm on people in his land from the South to include ripping families apart and denying medical care to southerners in need, reports from around the world will trigger his rage and he will want to destroy many, he will survive a fatal wound to his head, he will come to power on a coalition of Christian backers, a contemporaneous ruler of Israel will level cities and they will make an alliance to govern what is now Gaza, he will rule during a global pandemic, he'll deploy his military to clear out opponents from the temple... You all, I gotta stop. This is bumming me out. https://www.benjaminlcorey.com/could-american-evangelicals-spot-the-antichrist-heres-the-biblical-predictions/
