Russ Vought, a Christian nationalist ghoul Trump nominated to run the OMB. Vought, in past years, especially in his leadership of Project 2025, he has revealed himself as a terrifying ideologue fixated on a fantasy of destroying the United States in order to rebuild it as a Christian theocracy.

Christian nationalist movement believes the purpose of the government should enforce far-right Christianity on the whole world; "secularism is a hollow construct" should be replaced by a government-run according to "evangelicals" With Trump control of federal powers.

THIS is the number one issue, in the USA, in Europe, everywhere. All the rest is a distraction.

When I saw that Mann wrote this in 1930, I was floored:

The Nazis went after journalists, artists, intellectuals… and rounded up Jews, Roma, and homosexuals.

I’m sure Thiel feels pretty insulated though.

rwarrin.bsky.social•10 days ago

So long as he's useful, yeah. That's got a finite limit though, wonder what his escape plan is?

paginini.bsky.social•10 days ago

I don't think he's just useful. I think he's one of the directors.

rwarrin.bsky.social•9 days ago

He's gay though.
I question Evangelicals going for that in a leader.

cleareye2795.bsky.social•9 days ago

That’s the point:
Thiel is insulated thru ties to Vance & Musk and Yarvin & Andreesen

paginini.bsky.social•9 days ago

He has no wish to be that kind of leader. He doesn't even want anyone to know who he is.

cleareye2795.bsky.social•9 days ago

I don’t think he wants to be a leader -Out-Front- but his writings and public positions are that of a THOUGHT Leader, and he is far, far more influential and dangerous than Vance and, I suggest, Musk.

Look what’s happening to Elon. He wants those juicy govt contracts but it’s coming at a cost.

Everyone should read this.

melodyvonrock.bsky.social•10 days ago

WTAF????? I can only hope we can rely upon everything that Trump touches gets soiled. We’re seeing that with Musk currently so maybe Thiel will get soiled in the near future. Noone voted for this WTFedness

justicetoall.bsky.social•10 days ago

Thiel sounds like a believer in 7 Mountain Theory. Pushed by many in the GOP including VP Vance..
Everyone should read this: 'JD Vance Prophets of Trumpism' -
"Matthew Taylor wrote in “The Violent Take It by Force: The Christian Movement That Is Threatening Our Democracy,”" ⬇️

I used to think that we should tolerate people but now I hate evangelicals and despise their religion as if they were Taliban

rwarrin.bsky.social•10 days ago

How do he/they square Thiels' sexuality with Christian nationalism?

briangochoel.bsky.social•9 days ago

Is t Peter Thiel a homosexual? When is MAGA coming for him?
