No need for random thoughts about how Vance got there: Neoliberalism: the deep story that lies beneath Donald Trump’s triumph [...] ------ "[Insert: Confirmation: JD Vance is the handpicked leader of the anti-democracy movement in the US Follow the entire thread. #Crazy#Sick" Robert Reich [...] In contrast to Trump ... Vance does have an ideology. He’s the emerging leader of the anti-democracy movement in the US P - Echoing the so-called “great replacement theory”, Vance told .. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/may/16/buffalo-massacre-great-replacement-theory-republicans .. voters, “You’re talking about a shift in the democratic makeup of this country that would mean we never win, meaning Republicans would never win a national election in this country ever again.” P - In contrast to Trump, who has no ideology except accumulating power and wealth for himself and taking revenge on those who would deny these to him, Vance does have an ideology. He’s the emerging leader of the anti-democracy movement in the US. P - Vance would never have become a senator from Ohio in 2022 were it not for the billionaire tech financier Peter Thiel, who staked $15m on Vance’s election – a major portion of all the funds that went into Vance’s race. [...] Thiel is a self-styled libertarian who once wrote: “I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible.” P - Hello? Freedom is incompatible with democracy only if you view democracy as a potential constraint on your wealth and power. P - That’s the point. Thiel and Vance – along with Elon Musk, Steve Bannon, Blake Masters, tech entrepreneur David Sacks, Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale, Palantir adviser Jacob Helberg, Sequoia Capital’s Doug Leone, blogger Curtis Yarvin, and others in the anti-democracy movement – believe that the only way true libertarians can win in the US is for a Caesar-like figure to wrest power from the US establishment and install a monarchical regime, run like a startup. ---------- [Insert: So there you have it, Vance is young, the tech moguls have long-term plans. NOTE: No Libertarian party has ever won an election to lead any country of the world, so one decades in the making solution of these tech oligarchs appears to be to not only eliminate elections, but also to eliminate countries. https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=175265430] ------
