Natural career progression.

It seems like a growing number of conservative pundits online are proudly racist and homophobic. It seems like most mainstream conservative politicians maintain the pretense of not being overtly bigoted, but they will happily hang out with those that are. At this rate, it's just a matter of time before mainstream conservative politicians will just proudly declare their racism.

Vance: “We really need to be really ruthless when it comes to the exercise of power... I don't think there's a compromise that we're gonna come with... Unless we overthrow them in some way, we're gonna keep losing.”

This is wild, but especially coming from a man who would not even be in the Senate if not for his buddy Peter Thiel. It really seems to me like these fucks including Musk, Thiel, Yarvin and Vance are smelling their own farts and now we, as a country, are facing real danger from them. The reason this can even happen is, of course, the fact that a Senate seat can be bought by Peter Thiel. Without that, he would not have even been on the radar for VP.

Well, he at least (!) understands that Republicans no longer have any ideas or policies the American people will accept.

Revealed: JD Vance promoted far-right views in speech about extremists’ book | US news | The Guardian

Onishi, the academic and podcaster, said that while the kind of proposals contained in Up from Conservatism had little electoral appeal, the New Right often envisioned a process of imposing them from above via a president – like Trump – keen on wielding immense personal power in a government packed with loyalists.

“They want a government that expands the executive branch in order to bypass the processes that are often arduous in the legislative and even in the judicial branches,” he said. “If you can expand the executive branch, and then get the agencies under the purview of the executive to operate on a loyalist basis, then you can do all the things that folks in this volume want to do by way of a president who is almost a king.”

It gets worse

Pretty sure his logic is completely ass backwards. I know at least on the technical side... the anti-women / anti-BIPOC stigma drives out many of the 'mediocre' people while basic boring white men struggle... but generally don't have the extra hurdles and social pressure to bow out.

So if you pick a doctor or engineer... and pick the white dude... statistically, he's more likely to be the mediocre one, because there's more of them. It's just math.

My assumption has always been that minority doctors had to work twice as hard to get there, so pick them for the best.

Truth Social Users Are Losing Ridiculous Sums of Money to Scams (gizmodo.com)
Donald Trump launched Truth Social in 2022 as a social media platform where the MAGA faithful could hang out without any liberals to spoil the fun. The biggest selling point? It was the only place where Trump was personally posting his unhinged screeds after getting banned from Twitter over that whole coup attempt. But new documents obtained by Gizmodo reveal the site has also been flooded with scammers who are swindling users out of enormous sums of money. We’re talking about people who’ve lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in a relatively short period of time.
If you're enamored of Donald Trump, the most obvious conman on the planet, then you're well and truly a mark.

Normally I'd say that someone who says something like this 100% has a relevant skeleton in his closet that he's trying to get out ahead of. But, it looks like this guy is a troll whose whole shtick is saying the most outrageous things he can think of, so I have to concede that might not be true in his case.
