The right hit peak incel in 2025
From Mar-a-Lago face to Elon Musk, MAGA's sexual dysfunction exposed itself

(Salon) Earlier this month, the popular MAGA influencer Sólionath was having a real one on X. The U.S.-based poster had built up a healthy audience of 65,000 followers after Elon Musk purchased the site formerly known as Twitter by sharing the usual deplorable garbage: defending white supremacists murderers, trying to get people fired for not mourning Charlie Kirk after his assassination on Sept. 10 and concocting lies about the Epstein files. But now he was expressing his very strong opinions about the approximately 99% of Americans who have sex at some point in their lives.

“I could make a dating app profile and lose my virginity by dinnertime,” claimed this devoted champion of President Donald Trump. “But very few people alive have ever actually had *sex*,” he continued. “They’ve slapped their damp, clammy body against another damp, clammy body, like the wriggling of a suffocating fish.” Sólionath then attempted to wax poetic about how he would be different if “I ever tried to make love.” Because unlike people who have done the deed, he would “reveal the deepest and most primal aspects of myself to a woman,” and in the process, “she [would] be mine in totality and no other human even think of her existence.” He also promised to impregnate this imaginary woman.

Sólionath was mad because British talk show host Piers Morgan made fun of MAGA podcaster Nick Fuentes for announcing he is a virgin. An open admirer of Adolf Hitler, Fuentes preaches to his 1.2 million X followers that the MAGA movement’s biggest problem is that it’s not racist enough. Since the death of Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, Fuentes has been attempting to take his place as a major MAGA leader. Fuentes has had help from figures like former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who suggested Fuentes’ views “have won” during a fawning October interview with the podcaster.

Fuentes is no outlier in MAGA. In 2025, the right’s leaders and influencers revealed the deep sexual dysfunction driving their movement. The constant drumbeat of weird sexual displays is likely a major reason the MAGA coalition, which was flying high at the beginning of the year, is losing popularity rapidly, especially with younger voters. Being a 27-year-old virgin who deems himself an expert on other people’s sex lives doesn’t stand out in a community where few seem to have a healthy relationship with human sexuality. Trumpist leaders love pointing the finger at LGBTQ+ people and liberals, calling them “groomers” and suggesting they’re violent perverts. But in 2025, the nation really saw how much that behavior is old-fashioned psychological projection. ...............................(more)
