Adam Serwer - Trump's MAGA Conspiracy Universe & Republican Snitch States - The Daily Show



Adam Serwer, author and staff writer for The Atlantic, talks to Jordan Klepper about two of his recent pieces in the magazine, one about the “dark fantasy” centered on unfounded conspiracies and immigration-blaming that Trump has manufactured for his followers to live in, the other about Republican “snitch states” where right-wing lawmakers criminalize and re-stigmatize services like abortions and gender-affirming care with incentives for people to tattle on their friends and neighbors. Serwer also breaks down the three circles of the MAGA universe and discusses his book, “The Cruelty Is the Point,” as it explores the community of cruelty that Trump has created for his rallygoers.
