I’m not the one who wants to forbid dual citizens from holding office, Matt Walsh is (if @anti_dan is to be believed). My point is that in terms of the actual legal rights possessed by a person, being a Jewish American is functionally equivalent to being an Israeli-American dual citizen living in the USA.

It’s hard to find a good-faith summary of Fuentes’s policy positions, so I’m going off the top of my head here:
-
This clip has been going around as evidence that Fuentes wants to kill all the Jews, but the real thing he is advocating for here is executing witches. He sounds pretty serious here. I don’t think this is one of his joking-around clips. I think this would be bad policy and I disagree with it.
-
In a recent episode Nick went on a big monologue about how surrogacy is evil because it rips babies away from their mothers. I disagree with this and think a ban on surrogacy would be bad policy.
-
Nick doesn’t think Ben Shapiro, Mark Levin, and Josh Hammer are Americans. He is typically vague on the policy details, but he rants about these three specific people almost every night. I don’t think there is any way to interpret Fuentes as not supporting revocation of their citizenship. I don’t think there is a valid basis for doing this and I disagree with it.

You are correct that Matt Walsh’s positions are standard conservative ideals taken to their logical conclusion, my point is that Nick Fuentes’s positions are also conservative ideals taken to their logical conclusion. The only difference is that Fuentes would count Jewish identity as foreign citizenship, which it essentially is under Israeli law.

The political realignment means that the Republican coalition is dominated by low-propensity voters. A lot of these guys show up for presidential elections every four years and nothing else.

I agree that they come off with very different demeanors, but that's obviously not why Shapiro put out a 45-minute special episode with no ad reads. What is the actual policy opinion being expressed by Nick's, "your body, my choice," that isn't also supported by Walsh? Walsh doesn't even support rape exceptions for abortion.

It’s hard to do the, “we are principled civic nationalists who believe in the inherent dignity of every human being,” routine when your organization employs Matt Walsh. Walsh believes basically the same things as Fuentes does. The only difference is that Walsh believes that Jews are part of based White Western Civilization, and Fuentes doesn’t. It’s incredibly transparent why Ben Shapiro is taking such a firm stance on this issue in particular. This is why Fuentes is going mainstream.
I don’t think this the point. I highly doubt that Zohran Mamdani is bound by Ugandan law. Is Matt Walsh simply confused about the state capacity of Uganda and Somalia?
