Again: I don’t think the primary goal of the anti-D.E.I. authoritarianism we’re seeing is re-segregation. It’s TOTAL human enslavement to corporations. Re-segregation is just a stop on that train. Explicit white supremacy and patriarchy are being used to make techno-fascism seductive to the masses.

One of the problems with the “Trump will end democracy” messaging from Dems in the campaign is that they never provided specifics and failed to connect the dots. They just went with abstract slogans tested by pollsters. It also seemed disingenuous from a party constantly “reaching across the aisle”.

Among other things, Democrats should explain to voters, over and over again, exactly who Peter Thiel is, how and why he selected and elevated JD Vance to the vice presidency and what he’s said about his mission to end democracy as we know it.

Democrats should act *immediately* to make Curtis Yarvin a household name — actually read from his unhinged writing and interviews to explain why it matters that *this* is the guy behind Project 2025.

While it would be wise for more Democrat politicians to publicly acknowledge the coup, it is not going to be particularly helpful unless they *also* point Americans to the actual words these tech guys have written and stated explaining their intent to END the constitution and overthrow democracy.

I am not convinced that most conservatives and MAGAs know anything about the Yarvin-Thiel-Vance connections, which is of course by design! Democrats should act to educate themselves and the public. Do not get sidetracked with every daily outrage as they “flood the zone” to overwhelm us.

Right? Every dang conservative throws around the name George Soros, but even some of the most informed liberals have no clue who Thiel is.

Most Republicans still believe, I suspect, that Trump/Musk/DOGE are just trying to eliminate government waste. They haven’t yet been directly conscripted into openly rejecting democracy and the constitution. Demonizing liberals, delegitimizing the courts and the rule of law might get them there.

They told us exactly what would happen.

“A 922-page blueprint to make Donald Trump the most powerful president ever,” the narrator says...the platform would enable Trump to seek vengeance via the Department of Justice, eliminate the Department of Education and threaten women’s reproductive freedom.
