I find that sorting them into easily identifiable circles is more than a little challenging. The borders are ever so permeable and one can convincingly make the case for example that Turner Carlson is more Fascist, than Fascist Adjacent, though I have him as a Future MAGA leader of America. And truth be told, they often occupy space in multiple circles, so this is an exercise in futility. Still, I envision the following categories: The Mentally ill, Fascist Adjacent, Future MAGA leaders of America, Religious Nutbags, and Miscellaneous Creeps.
Mentally ill: Powell, Giuliani, Flynn, Lindell
Fascist Adjacent: Miller, Gorka, Patel, D'Souza, Erik Prince
Future MAGA leaders of America: Gaetz, Vance, Jordan, MTG, Boebert, Hawley, Lake, Carlson
Religious Nutbags: Franklin Graham, John Hagee, Paula White, Falwell Jr.
Miscellaneous Creeps: family members, Allen Weisselberg, Fox News Commentators, the DeVos family, Thiel, Mercers
I acknowledge that this is far from an exhaustive list and that there are surely many more lurking in the shadows of Maralago, no doubt using secret documents as coasters for their overpriced drinks.
