I’m getting lots of concerning responses to this: “You’re giving them too much credit! It’s all just Trump hating Biden!” No. No. No.
The Trumpists truly believe “the Left” has taken over the major institutions of American life and nothing short of a comprehensive “counter-revolution” will suffice.

What is going on here? Why does MAGA hate cancer research?
The Trumpists don’t look at a specific budget item or topic - they are engaged in a comprehensive assault against what they have identified as their enemy. In response, we must also develop a holistic view of their political project.

Look at someone like Russell Vought: These people really mean it. They desire a comprehensive “counter-revolution.”
also owns a company that makes "brain chips". (Maybe he put one in T rump which made him so Docile in the Oval.)
Nope you're right, no similarity.
But make no mistake: these folks are Nazis.
That these are now the people around him explains why Trump II is so different from Trump I
The world's not going all their way, so they look for an explanation. There must be someone to blame - someone more powerful than themselves. So they construct bizarre stories to make that work.
Of course the true explanation is reality, and the flow of history.
We need better counterpropaganda.
It’s looney RJ Rushdoony.
It’s supernatural madness.
They've been very clear that this is their goal!
I stand firmly on Trump has no policy objectives: Just amassing wealth & feeding his ego. Different factions of the Right - fascists to corp GOP - use that power vacuum for their own means. But the nihilists will go too far, too fast for Big Biz.
Big Biz supplicants to Trumpists are about to FAFO.

Stalin's path to power and control was through the media. Trump has taken that same path. We know what Stalin did to his people. Is the same going to happen to us?
Assume that’s true; would their actions so far be any different if they did believe it?
1) Some people thought Trump would be a different kind of Republican, one that supported working class interests. They were wrong.
2) The people behind the Republicans have been working on this for 50 years, and we need similar focus and discipline.
