Hannah Gais and Steven Monacelli join for a wide-ranging discussion about the state of Twitter (now called “X”) three years after Elon Musk first moved to purchase it. Since then, Musk has transformed the platform into a self-serving MAGA machine that is crowning a new generation of right-wing media royalty. Monacelli walks us through his reporting on one of the platform's newer standouts — “Captive Dreamer” — as an example of who's benefiting from the new status quo.Links for Steven Monacelli:* Daily Dot: “A Hitler-quoting ‘Aryan' has the attention of JD Vance and Elon Musk—who is @captivedreamer7?”* Bluesky: @stevanzetti.bsky.social * Contact/Work: linktr.ee/StevanzettiLinks for Hannah Gais: * Bluesky: @hannahgais.bsky.social * Newsletter: postsfromunderground.ghost.io/Transition Music: “California Magic” by GooseSubscribe for emails about new podcasts and occasional newsletters.

Trump can hold a grudge, Daily Beast reporter Corbin Bolies tells Andy Levy on this episode of The New Abnormal podcast, and he's not wrong. “Donald Trump knows how to hold a grudge and he will, and we've seen that continue throughout the last year and a half, because Donald Trump has consistently attacked Mitch McConnell,” Bolies says, discussing the most recent verbal harassment levied at the former Majority Leader's wife, Elaine Chao, in the form of blatantly racist name-calling on his Truth Social platform. Also on this episode: Hannah Gais, a senior research analyst at the Southern Poverty Law Center, joins this episode to co-host with Andy, touching upon the intense violent threats against Dems and Marjorie Taylor Green's try-hard effort to get Republicans to think the threats are for them.

Freelance writer and Harvard Divinity School grad student Hannah Gais is back, so that makes two repeat guests on the podcast! She's going to try to explain to me how the Orthodox Church works, an effort that goes so well you can hear my dog literally howling by the end of it (I'm pretty sure she saw some kids outside). We talk about the schism between the Russian Orthodox Church and Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I over Bartholomew's decision to allow Ukrainian church leaders to form their own autocephalous Orthodox Church separate from Moscow and try to Make Sense Of It All.

As this season's readings have already made clear, male grievance and organized misogyny are a crucial feeder into the fevered swamps of the Alt-Right. So why would an otherwise sane, smart, independent woman want to make common cause with the Nazi contingent of the #gamergate and MGTOW crowd? In this episode, Joe & Josh discuss what motivates right-wing women, starting with the portrait of Lana Lokteff and her fascist sorority sisters in "Rise of the Valkyries" by Seyward Darby, from the September 2017 issue of Harper's. They also examine conservative sexism, the link between biology and gender roles, mis-pronounce "Hindutva," and ask once again how much attention to the Alt-Right is too much.“Rise of the Valkyries” by Seyward Darby, Harper’s, 2017https://harpers.org/archive/2017/09/the-rise-of-the-valkyries/Optional:“The Alt-Right Doesn’t Know What to Do With White Women” by Hannah Gais, The New Republic, 2017https://newrepublic.com/article/145325/alt-right-doesnt-know-white-women“This book in the marriage bible for alt-right women” by Laura Smith, Timeline, 2017https://timeline.com/fascinating-womanhood-andelin-feminism-509dfe538de7Let us know what you think: essayquestionspodcast@gmail.com
