Shadows On the Wall of Twitter’s Cave | Interview: Jesse Arm | The Remnant with Jonah Goldberg

In this episode of The Remnant podcast, Jonah Goldberg interviews Jesse Arm from the Manhattan Institute about a new study on the GOP coalition. They discuss the key takeaways from the study, which identifies two diverging camps within the Republican party: longstanding Republicans and new entrants who are younger, more diverse, and hold different views on various issues. The conversation explores the replicability of the Trump coalition, the influence of online culture and conspiracy theories, and the potential for a religious revival to reshape American politics. They also touch on the role of political figures like JD Vance and Rahm Emanuel in shaping the future of their respective parties.
