They’re not MAGA. They’re not QAnon.
Curtis Yarvin and the rising right are crafting a different strain of conservative politics.
…… Vance described two possibilities that many on the New Right imagine—that our system will either fall apart naturally, or that a great leader will assume semi-dictatorial powers.
“So there’s this guy Curtis Yarvin, who has written about some of these things,” Vance said. Murphy chortled knowingly. “So one [option] is to basically accept that this entire thing is going to fall in on itself,” Vance went on. “And so the task of conservatives right now is to preserve as much as can be preserved,” waiting for the “inevitable collapse” of the current order.
He said he thought this was pessimistic. “I tend to think that we should seize the institutions of the left,” he said. “And turn them against the left. We need like a de-Baathification program, a de-woke-ification program.”
“I think Trump is going to run again in 2024,” he said. “I think that what Trump should do, if I was giving him one piece of advice: Fire every single midlevel bureaucrat, every civil servant in the administrative state, replace them with our people.”
“And when the courts stop you,” he went on, “stand before the country, and say—” he quoted Andrew Jackson, giving a challenge to the entire constitutional order—“the chief justice has made his ruling. Now let him enforce it.”
This is a description, essentially, of a coup.
“We are in a late republican period,” Vance said later, evoking the common New Right view of America as Rome awaiting its Caesar. “If we’re going to push back against it, we’re going to have to get pretty wild, and pretty far out there, and go in directions that a lot of conservatives right now are uncomfortable with.”
“Indeed,” Murphy said. “Among some of my circle, the phrase ‘extra-constitutional’ has come up quite a bit.”
I’d asked Vance to tell me, on the record, what he’d like liberal Americans who thought that what he was proposing was a fascist takeover of America to understand.
He spoke earnestly. “I think the cultural world you operate in is incredibly biased,” he said—against his movement and “the leaders of it, like me in particular.” He encouraged me to resist this tendency, which he thought was the product of a media machine leading us toward a soulless dystopia that none of us want to live in. “That impulse,” he said, “is fundamentally in service of something that is far worse than anything, in your wildest nightmares, than what you see here.”
====================================
Musk and the others are standing on the shoulders of those anti-democracy zealots who have made a long march through history to arrive at our present challenging state of affairs which threaten the very foundational principles of our Enlightenment based, constitutionally established, secular, representative democracy.
A blast from the past about how the present is fast becoming our future:
www.dailykos.com/…by War on Error. Expose’ — 80 Years of Planning: The Kochs + The Family + The Birchers = Subversion of Democracy …. Below are some snippets that connect the threads of an 80 year plan that haven't been completely connected by others. The Kochs + The Family + The John Birch Society. A very clever plan to grasp the world for the few, while squeezing dignity and even life from the many. ….. ….. 80 years ago, in response to FDRs safety nets and unions gains, Abraham Vereide (founder of The Family), Fred Koch (a Vereide associate and one of the John Birch Society founders), many Politicians, Oil Men in particular, Pastors, and Industrial Leaders, began working quietly to end any/all Unions and Social Safety nets and to privatize utilities and government services. This is a worldwide network so vast it's mindboggling. Who are some of these people? How are they globally organized? Read these eye popping lists. The Technocrats: …. ….. THE 80 YEAR HISTORY OF "THE FAMILY", the theocratic underpinning of the so-called, world-wide AUSTERITY MOVEMENT.
1930's: Abraham Veriede, the founder of "The Prayer Breakfast organization now known as The Famly" began to organize an anti-Union battle in the Northwest. He taught a new religion to America's CEOs, politicians, and the wealthy here and abroad. A Jesus justified assault on unions, social safety nets, fair wages, and human dignity. A world-wide power grab was launched. (There is an in depth report by a controversial writer, Wayne Madsen. I trust readers to use discernment here: EXPOSÉ: THE “CHRISTIAN” MAFIA) ….. ….. Their goal: A Proto-Fascist (Business run) Government, Union Free Country, Privatized Education, and the End of Social Safety Nets all in the Name of Jesus and Freedom. ….. ….. the connection between Vereides "religion", big business/wealth class, and politics was merged to become what I call The Scrooge Class Juggernaut of today: The Family. ….. They belong to all political parties, their theocratic goals have infiltrated our military, and have our Supreme Court Justices attending and speaking at their Planning Meetings. 80 years of brainwashing works. The Tea Party is their spawned movement. Religious leaders have been psy-opping their sheep for decades in concert with one another. …. (much more...)
