Since Jan. 6, the pro-Trump Internet has descended into infighting over money and followers

The far-right firebrands and conspiracy theorists of the pro-Trump Internet have a new enemy: each other.

QAnon devotees are livid at their former hero Michael Flynn for accurately calling their jumbled credo “total nonsense.” Donald Trump superfans have voiced a sense of betrayal because the former president, booed for getting a coronavirus immunization booster, has become a “vaccine salesman.” And attorney Lin Wood seems mad at pretty much everyone, including former allies on the scattered “elite strike-force team” investigating nonexistent mass voter fraud.

After months of failing to disprove the reality of Trump’s 2020 presidential election loss, some of the Internet’s most popular right-wing provocateurs are grappling with the pressures of restless audiences, saturated markets, ongoing investigations and millions of dollars in legal bills

Themselves with the anti-Muslim rherotic. There are also the anti-abortion and anti-immigration grifters and most of the churches.

Money and power enable evil.

Going at each other until the end of the year. It's not like they aren't already killing themselves for the sake of ignorance by choice.
