The blueprint for a fully fascistic US political system, known as Project 2025, the Charles Koch network’s latest Mandate for Leadership, is designed for any fascist organization Charles Koch and his billionaire “libertarian” friends can get into the Oval Office. Trump is the useful figurehead for these insane, determined bastards and his popularity has served their extremely unpopular cause very well, even if the brainy engineers of American fascism despise him for being so stupid.

Do you think Peter Thiel [1], the far-right billionaire who made JD Vance a millionaire and then spent $15,000,000 to get Vance into the Senate, would hesitate one second to take out a hit on Trump and put his handpicked boy in charge of the Unitary Executive and a fully compliant civil service? Hah. Do you think Elon Musk would have a second thought? Not a chance, the obscenely wealthy weirdo claims to believe that colonizing Mars is an existential necessity for mankind.

The only problem these American Nazis have at the moment is that while Trump short-circuits daily, like a sweaty robot whose A1 programming has been corrupted, they need him on the ballot for November 5. Vance gets almost no votes if Trump is suddenly defenestrated, poisoned or shot before the election. Trump’s dominant pal Vladimir Putin would shed no tears having a more intelligent useful idiot in the White House than his formerly useful buddy The Orange Polyp.

Thiel, Musk, Koch, Mercer, Mellon, Adelson and company (Forbes top twenty-five list here) have to ride the Orange Ass to the finish line, propelled by a wave of disinformation, if they’re going to defeat the majoritarian tyrants who decide American elections (most of the time, anyway).

I wonder what odds Las Vegas is putting on Trump to survive from stealing the 2024 election (God forbid) to Inauguration Day. I’m not a betting man, but I’d put some money on his handlers arranging for something other than Trump’s inauguration. Their ruthless type never has any hesitation to do exactly what must be done so that they can do as they please, as God, Jesus Christ and the Supreme Court have ordained they may always do.

Vance is as much of a “transactional” opportunist and liar as Trump, and not nearly as fucking stupid. Who would you rather have represent your interests, if you had almost all the money in the world and lived in a country where other people’s rights, sickeningly, also had to be considered sometimes?

Like Thiel, Vance has spoken extensively about the need to destroy the U.S. government, but while Thiel emphasizes the potential of a technological future unencumbered by democratic baggage, Vance emphasizes what he sees as the decadence of today’s America and the need to address that decadence by purging the government of secular leaders. A 2019 convert to right-wing Catholicism, Vance said he was attracted to the religion in part because he wanted to see the Republican Party use the government to work for what he considers the common good by imposing laws that would enforce his version of morality.  source

What a surprise . . . he’s joined the team with Leonard Leo, Clarence Thomas, Kavanaugh, Alito, Roberts, Bill Barr and company.   I’ve got to figure out how to get in touch with the Pope!  He’s got to excommunicate a couple of these guys, as an example to the rest of these fascistic “conservative”  “Christian” psychos. Jesus Himself demands no less.
