You’re a groyper in October 2026: You get cozy to watch your idol, Nick Fuentes. But what’s Nick talking about here? Weight loss tips, his opinions on how to drink coffee and the wonders of autumn? And what are you wearing while watching Nick? How about some naughty-looking athletic socks... and a thong, perhaps? If you only follow Fuentes out of the corner of your eye, you might have missed some changes in his fanbase. What started as a white nationalist movement claiming to defend tradition and heteronormativity has evolved into something much more about culture and sexuality, with Fuentes’ fans adopting all kinds of public postures that white nationalists are supposed to consider degenerate. On the heels of this, Fuentes himself was allegedly spotted out at dinner with a fellow groyper in one of Chicago's LGBTQ+-friendly neighborhoods. On this episode, Jared and Mike dig into Fuentes’ alleged gay date at Big Jones in Andersonville, the years of rumors about Nick’s sexuality that led up to it, and the openly gay groyper accounts now hawking his merch in thongs and America First socks. Then Jared walks through the conspiracy theory MAGA media cooked up after Texas Senate nominee James Talarico came down with the flu: that he had secretly flown to an Ohio psychiatric hospital. The evidence? An anonymous account with an AI-generated profile picture, a private flight with no connection to Talarico, and a call to the Lindner Center of Hope edited to cut out the part where the employee said there was no record of him receiving care there. So, get your poppers ready for a hypnotically gay and potentially mentally ill pumpkin spice creamium episode of Posting Through It. We are feeling cozy!

Subscribe to our Patreon to listen to premium episodes: patreon.com/postingthroughit -- What are you scared of this Halloween? Michael Myers? Jack Torrance? Drake? The American right’s answer to that question is France. They have noticed what is happening there and they are scared and excited as hell. Jared and Mike dig into the wave of school blockades, Yellow Vest revival protests, and brutal police crackdowns sweeping France (and now spreading to Belgium, Italy, Greece, and beyond), and how MAGA influencers are already repurposing the footage, stripped of context and sometimes outright faked by AI, into an implausible story about scary leftists and immigrant chaos coming for the West next. Also in this episode: the DOJ digs through 50 years of Ilhan Omar’s life looking for a deportation pretext while the FBI rushes noncitizen voter-fraud cases ahead of Election Day. Trump and Vance roll out a $25 million snitch fund and dangle pardons for patriotic brain genius Nick Shirley. A brutal attack ad against Ohio’s Amy Acton drags her childhood sexual abuse into the governor’s race, and right-wing influencers immediately accuse her of lying about it. We are forming like Voltron on this Creamium episode of PTI, out to destroy every copy of the Tempest we can find!
The GOP is spending big enough on TV ads that you’d think they were in a strong position headed into the midterms. The opposite is true. They are lost in a sea of dogshit and running out of scapegoats to attack. To the average swing voter, they have now entered… the Libbity Bibbity Zone of the terminally insufferable.
Picture it: You are in a secluded strip of fancy-pants military housing. In the distance, a Bose stereo pumps out an EDM remix of “Ring of Fire.” A beleaguered Benihana chef squirts sake into Doug Burgum’s wiggling, groaning, drunken mouth. A mechanical bull launches an unattended seven-year-old boy into the air, his landing spot out of sight. You are now in Katie Miller’s domain, partying with the least popular and most cruel administration in recent memory. On this episode, Jared and Mike welcome Madeline Peltz, an independent journalist who covers right-wing media, to dig into Vanity Fair’s portrait of Katie Miller as MAGA Washington’s deeply hated hostess. Madeline and the boys also run through a cast of other unsavory MAGA characters, including Andrew Tate, who allegedly possessed eel porn; “Dad Chat” daddy Joshua Lisec, who won’t let Madeline into his event; Megyn Kelly, who wants you to know how ugly sexual assault victims are; and Michael Tracey (again), who went to Cornell to shout at people while dressed like sentient body odor. So, throw your tap water in the garbage like Michael Tracey’s request for time. There are no “brokies” on Posting Through It. We are now en route to white boy heaven.
Listen to premium episodes on our Patreon: patreon.com/postingthroughit ~~ Stop us if you've heard this one before: There's a big story about sexual assault in the news and Michael Tracey has gone viral for making women angry. To quote Twin Peaks, “it is happening again.” On this episode, Jared and Mike are joined against by Posting Through It all-star guest Bobby Silverman to survey how low Tracey has stooped since Jane Doe filed her lawsuit in the Cornell 7 case. Tracey has posted jokes about rape while asking his followers to help him identify Jane Doe. In that effort, he cited a shady website that, as Jared discovered, was a thinly veiled hunk of junk. The gang also acts out a direct message conversation between our Mike and Michael Tracey, and Bobby gets a little emotional in the Tracey role. Listeners who make it to the end of this one will find a sampling from Joshua Lisec's "Dad Chat" for divorcing and single MAGA fathers, including an audio clip in which Lisec advises the crew on what to do if their "dick still works." So, join us for an important follow-up to our "Who the Hell is Michael Tracey?" episode. Hide your sordid "proclivities" and always remember: “there are two ways to win, zero ways to lose.”
Everyone, likely including the Trump administration itself, understands the racist roots of the word "remigration." Before it appeared in US politics, white nationalists coined the term and amplified it throughout Europe. So if everyone knows this, why has our government chosen to publicly associate with it? The answer may be as simple as "Stephen Miller." Jared and Mike continue their coverage of the most consequential figure in our government, and the architect of its most sadistic policies, in a conversation with Greg Sargent of The New Republic. Sargent, who has done big-picture reporting on Miller's ideology, explains that American taxpayers have been quietly funding a federal "Office of Remigration," and how it relates to the Trump Administration's rhetorical war against "communism." The situation for immigrants is precarious, to put it mildly. But as Stephen Miller himself once said: "Racism must be defeated. Thank you."
