Did Nick Fuentes really win his war with the GOP?

"As a Republican digital fundraiser, I fed off of these news stories. We routinely circulated the latest Fox News report that depicted waves of migrants at the border or violence in cities. These stores were catnip to our donor base, and it kept them trapped in an alternate universe of lies."

Take it from a former Republican operative, Trump’s challenge to Birthright Citizenship is an attack on all of us. Watch why the Supreme Court's decision in Trump v. Barbara could be worse than you think
Having been one of them up until 2 months ago, I know some are true converts, some are doing it for pure career advancement (and hate themselves for it, this was me), and some are just cowards. You find infinite ways to rationalize.
I can personally attest this is true for pretty much 90% of every GOP Party member, activist, and elected leader in Orange County, CA.
After I went public with my decision to leave the GOP, I decided to take up writing as a side project, sharing my perspective on the Republican Party and American politics. Please show your support and subscribe today: substack.com/@milesbruner...

Today, I'm launching my first newsletter Breaking Ranks Daily. The goal of this publication is to provide a daily dose of political news around the country and the state of the Republican Party from the perspective former operative inside the GOP.
It would appear great minds think alike, @therickwilson.bsky.social and I had similar thoughts on this subject at the exact same time:
There's been some exuberance over the prospect of MAGA cracking up or Trump ceasing to be a force in the Republican Party. What could step into the power vacuum could be far worse.
This Thanksgiving I wanted to share my message about resisting the urge to sink into nihilism and embracing hope.
I've had a month to reflect on my decision to leave my career as an operative inside the Republican Party. Looking back, I have never been more at peace with my decision and am thrilled at the opportunity to join the fight to rebuild our democratic institutions. open.substack.com/pub/milesbrn...
Thank you to @adamkinzinger.substack.com for inviting me to share my story about leaving the Republican Party and its descent into authoritarianism.
I don't revel in this in the slightest. When I published my article announcing my decision to leave the GOP, I got a few threats on social media, and that was scary enough. I can't fathom what it's like to get a deluge of likely way more credible threats.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but the GOP isn’t having a reckoning over illiberalism in its ranks. open.substack.com/pub/milesbrn...
Take it from someone who served as a consultant for Winsome Sears. She CAN NOT become Virginia's next Governor. That's why I was proud to cast my ballot for Virginia's next governor for @abigailspanberger.com
According to Polymarket ads on Facebook, Cuomo’s chances of winning skyrocket when they go up by 2.3%… Beginning to think they’re not totally on the level.
I wrote countless fundraising emails decrying the destruction of confederate statues back in 2020. Many of those Republicans are now radio silent over the destruction of the White House East Wing. Cowards.
My first post here. Please catch my article on @thebulwark.com that goes through my decision to abandon the GOP’s descent into authoritarianism.
