Founder of the alt-right movement and former head of the National Policy Institute. Coined the term 'alt-right.' Once a prominent Trump supporter, he has dramatically reversed course - endorsed Kamala Harris in 2024, become strongly pro-Ukraine and pro-NATO, and now opposes Trump's foreign policy as destructive to American imperial interests he considers worth preserving.

Positions
US-Israel War on Iran 2026 · 2026-03-01
The Iran war is not an American war - it is a neoconservative war being fought with American blood and treasure. Trump has become everything he promised to oppose. The American empire is worth preserving, but not for Israel's benefit. This is the final proof that MAGA was captured by the very establishment it claimed to oppose.
Stated purpose
Frames this as defending the American imperial project from neoconservative capture that subordinates US interests to Israeli ones.
Ukraine War · 2024-08-01
Ukraine is my number one issue. A Russian victory would be catastrophic for European civilization and the Western order that America built. The people calling themselves America First while cheerleading for Putin's empire are either useful idiots or actively working against Western interests. NATO must be preserved.
Stated purpose
Frames this as serving Western civilization and the American-led order by defending Ukraine against Russian imperial expansion.
