On February 16, 2026, Nick Fuentes predicted an “utter and total defeat in the midterms.” He said Democrats would take both the House and Senate and predicted that the losses would bring investigations and impeachment proceedings against Trump. Then he told his audience to make it happen. “Do not vote in the midterms. The Republicans have to lose. They have to lose. They have to crash and burn.” In August of 2024 during the “Groyper War” against Trump’s campaign he said he supported Trump but claimed consultants, lobbyists, and donors had hijacked his campaign. He predicted a “catastrophic loss” unless the campaign changed course. Now Ceronovich, Poso, Casey Means, Tucker, and Mike Benz are parroting true exact same talking points. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence. 😂

At some point people are going to have to start to employ critical thinking skills and put together the fact that this has been the messaging from the moment Trump refused to give the New Right what they wanted. It started in 2024 with Project 2025. Then Sergio Gor made sure to bypass every Neocon. Code for traditional conservative until he was shipped off to be the ambassador of India. Then it was H1-B visas when Bannon waged war and tried to separate Elon and Trump. Then it was Epstein. Then Iran. Then Megyn Kelly called this the most corrupt administration. Then Iran again. I could go on and on. Same people. They wanted to lose. And now that we did they can barely hide their glee.

Neocon = someone who didn’t want Iran to have a nuclear weapon.

You know whom you shouldn’t take seriously? The people telling you that Trump’s handling of Iran was the sole reason Republicans lost the midterms without accounting for their own role in selling that conclusion as early as 2025. Before the strikes, they were already telling his voters that military action against Iran would end his presidency. Then they kept reinforcing that message: betrayal, another endless war, a president abandoning America First. Do you think that mind numbing dribble didn’t affect the morale and opinion on the way? That influencers and conservative publications telling Republican voters the same thing, day after day, won’t damage support for a Republican administration? And the pressure matters inside the administration, too. What options become politically harder when your own media ecosystem promises to turn your voters against you? How does that pressure affect the response and the public’s understanding of it? You cannot spend months telling voters to interpret foreign policy, affordability, and every disappointment through one story of presidential betrayal, then present the backlash as independent proof that your story was right. Congratulations, you generated the conditions for which failure would be inevitable, and then now you wanna take a victory lap when that failure occurred, and then you want us to take you seriously?

We were thwarted at every step of the way by Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Nick Fuentes, Posobiac, Alex Jones, Megyn Kelly, Joe Kent, MTG, and all of their acolytes. That’s before we look at the Young Turks (who they often had on their podcasts) and Hasan Parker. And let us not forget conservative media. November 4, 2025 — The Federalist — John Daniel Davidson — “The Attacks On Heritage And Kevin Roberts Are Really About Foreign Policy And J.D. Vance.”⁠ Davidson argues that outrage over Carlson interviewing Fuentes and Roberts defending Carlson is being used by interventionists to discredit Vance before 2028. He explicitly calls it a political operation, connects it to Carlson’s opposition to the Soleimani strike and the June 2025 Iran strikes, and says the strategy is to associate noninterventionism with antisemitism. November 9, 2025 — American Greatness — Roger Kimball — “The Heritage Foundation’s Meltdown.”⁠ Kimball directly endorses Davidson’s argument. He expands the alleged target to Trump’s entire populist agenda. March 27, 2025 — The Federalist — Breccan F. Thies — “Cowardly Senators Anonymously Whine About J.D. Vance’s America First Foreign Policy.”⁠ Describes criticism of Vance’s leaked Houthi-strike comments as an attack by the neoconservative establishment. Quotes Arthur Schwartz accusing Jewish Insider of publishing repeated attacks motivated by hostility to Vance. November 7, 2025 — American Greatness — Clifford Angell Bates Jr. — “The Clipification and the Weaponization of Media Clips to Fracture the Right.”⁠ Argues that establishment conservatives, particularly Shapiro and the Daily Wire, use decontextualized material to marginalize dissidents. Uses Fuentes and Carlson’s interview as the central example and blames exclusion for encouraging radicalization. August 19, 2026 — The Federalist — John Daniel Davidson — “The NeverTrumpers Are Back. This Time Their Target Is J.D. Vance.”⁠ Argues that criticism of Vance’s economic nationalism, common-good language, and foreign policy serves an effort to return the GOP to its pre-Trump identity. April 30, 2026 — Daily Caller News Foundation — Nicole Silverio — “Tucker Carlson Has Message For Neocons Wanting To Silence Americans Who Call Out Iran War.”⁠ Reports Carlson’s claim that neoconservatives use antisemitism accusations and demands for deplatforming to silence criticism of Israel and the Iran war. Mentions Vance’s reported skepticism about the case for war. Connects Iran, Carlson, and antisemitism accusations. October 13, 2026 — The American Mind — Matthew J. Peterson — “Israel and the New American Right.”⁠ Argues that accusations of bigotry and efforts to portray the younger right as extremist are fracturing Trump’s coalition and suppressing legitimate discussion of Israel. November 25, 2025 — The American Mind — Daniel McCarthy — “Defeating Groyperism on Conservative Terms.”⁠ Argues that liberal outrage helps fuel Fuentes’s appeal and that conservatives need a different response. So the “conservative” media makes sure to reinforce the message of the anti-Trump “right.” For two years.
