Subject: Oligarchs vs Nativists
It seems pretentious and overblown to call it a MAGA Civil War, but the Oligarch vs. Nativist furor that broke out last week over immigration, race, and visas was real. And it was spectacular.

The angry skirmish exposed a fundamental divide over a core issue for MAGA, and it’s likely a preview of coming attractions, because as Nick Catoggio notes, “A populist coalition led by billionaires is absurd, and so absurdity is unavoidable in its internal squabbles.”

But the scat fight was also a reminder that irony is good and truly dead. After spending hundreds of millions of dollars supporting a candidate who lied about immigrants eating cats and dogs, the neo-MAGA tech bros seem genuinely shocked to discover that the fear and loathing extends to their immigrants.

Who knew?
