It’s unfortunate that now, when a libelous conspiracy theorist like Alex Jones and his counterpart, Nick Fuentes — who is somehow even worse — sit down to discuss the upcoming midterms, the world must listen. In a recent podcast of The Alex Jones Show, the two discussed how the recent Iran war means that the far right has to dump Donald Trump.
Alex Jones needs no introduction. Who can forget the man who accused the victims of the Sandy Hook mass shooting of being crisis actors and lost a $1 billion lawsuit because of it? As for Fuentes, he’s a little less mainstream, with esoteric views about the Nazis and racial slurs.
Regardless, the two remain highly influential in the far-right space. They were independently instrumental in convincing their fans to turn up and vote in the recently concluded 2024 general elections. But the recent conflict in Iran has finally brought them together for a common cause: get the Democrats elected in the midterms.
Does that mean the two suddenly believe in diversity, civil rights, or even inclusive economic policies? Of course not. This has nothing to do with values. Alex Jones was rather brash about their qualms and asked Fuentes, “Trump is an errand boy of Israel. And how do we deal with that?” Fuentes responded emphatically that the only course of action is to fill the House with Democrats and essentially “shut down” his government.

Trump was recently told by a journalist named Rachael Blade about his increasing unpopularity in the conservative podcast sphere. Even before the war started, Megyn Kelly, Tucker Carlson, and Joe Rogan kept questioning his decisions — from ICE raids that killed Americans to starting foreign wars — something he categorically promised not to do, noting that this is what made him different from his predecessor. When Blade asked Trump how any of that is making America great, the president replied, “I think that MAGA is Trump.”
Ultimately, the president is right. There was never an actual philosophy or value system of MAGA to begin with. It was always all about Trump and what he was currently fixated on. If the talk of the town was that Trump needed the Jeffrey Epstein files suppressed, then that became MAGA. If Trump wanted to invade Venezuela, then that became MAGA. And so on.
Trump has been caught multiple times going back on his word. He will change his mind in the middle of agendas if he realizes that the way his position makes him look no longer suits him. At such times, he will leave his aides and staff to pick up the pieces and figure out a new spin that will get the press and some critics off his back.
That’s because Trump knows his base will always follow him wherever he goes. The president no longer even needs a good excuse, and “because Trump said so” has become the new north star in MAGA. Far-right influencers saying that this is no longer a good reason to follow Trump is immeasurable in effect, because it means the most susceptible members of the MAGA faithful are reconsidering their approach.
MAGA had many members — but the base was always full of people who believed Trump is truly working for regular Americans. A reconsideration of that belief could mean the death of MAGA.
