‘We Have to Take Over’: Far-Right Extremists Want to Seize Control of the GOP
MAGA failed because it didn't go far enough, right-wing extremists say—and following devastating midterm losses, they see an opportunity to take over.
White nationalist Nick Fuentes called for Democratic votes on Election Day, claiming victory hours later and claiming it as proof of the "Groyper Effect." He has since stated the far-right should take control of the GOP now, warning GOP leadership to cooperate with them. Fuentes believes this shift will result in a backlash that will see more people embrace far-right groups.
Many far-right groups and extremist candidates won statewide races, with a 71 percent win rate. Anti-transgender rules, stringent voter ID laws, and anti-immigrant measures passed in several states. Some extremist groups are advocating for a hostile takeover of the Republican Party, while others prefer a more direct takeover in the near future.
