If you’re searching for the political philosophy of the Musk-Trump team you should look at “mud-sill theory” pushed by writers who were defending slavery as the bedrock of domestic tranquility and equality among white people in the antebellum US.

Learning this in school is part of why Foundational Black Americans gives me a huge ick. Like the terms are too entwined I never understand how they don’t see the connection.
Vance was pretty explicit about this in his acceptance speech imo. When he started talking about where his people are buried and people being here at the forbearance of ‘historic’ Americans he was outlining a hierarchy of belonging, a hierarchy of consideration, a hierarchy of personhood.
