For the last couple years, Amanda Moore has spent her time covering the far right on her Substack The Turtle DiariesAmanda infiltrated the far right during the final year of the Trump administration and has written about her experiences in publications like The Nation.She recently went to the Texas border to cover the arrival of "God's Army" - a group of truckers (possibly) who took it upon themselves to defend the border from an "invasion" and maybe possibly kick of the 2nd Civil War (they didn't).Amanda joined Kelly and John to talk about her experience at the border (which led to her acquiring a new far-right, J6-alumnus stalker), growing up with fundamentalism, how she sees QAnon as a perfectly predictable offshoot of evangelicalism, and whether she thinks the right is poised to bubble over in violence once again.You can find her on Twitter (and other social media) @noturtlesoup17
