Madeline Peltz, a researcher and forthcoming author, explores the world of right-wing female influencers, dissecting their recruitment of young women into the MAGA movement. She discusses Erica Kirk's rise through Turning Point USA, blending societal expectations with influencer culture. The conversation dives into figures like Alex Clark, who pushes traditional family ideals while remaining child-free, and Riley Gaines, an anti-trans activist. Peltz also critiques the 'tradwife' trope, revealing its disconnection from real women's lives and the contradictions within conservative gender roles.
