Good point. My question is, will they be strange bedfellows or rivals in the techno-feudal future they both envision?

The coalitions propping Trump are already fracturing. Authoritarian regimes don't exist without a strict hierarchy. The ideologues and Evangelicals will lose out to Vance backed by technocrats Thiel and Musk IMO.
And no Nobel Prize to comfort Trump as he reflects on his legacy?
Please refute this besides the obvious "glass houses," sir. youtu.be/QYLyeWZ_-ys?...
Maybe gun reform legislation is more effective at preventing deaths than ordering American flags at half mast.
This is the Trump regimes' stated goal.
There is no reason to watch a minute of MSM. It's all gaslighting, rage baiting, advertising, and lies. Turn it off and support independent journalism.
Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500. Remember this before you order your next pumpkin spice latte.

Cartoonishly disingenuous and laughable.

Soft, soft JD Vance and psycho frat boy ruining our country.
Anti-democratic fringe rhetoric is now a mainstream right-wing talking point and official position of the Trump administration.
And they pay themselves handsomely for it.
Keep him talking in front of the cameras.

We need fighters in a war. Lincoln knew it then, and our politicians and oligarchs know it now. The system is rigged, and they have failed the American public with their greed and obsession with power.
Mainstream media's 10 years of disingenuous "Can you believe Trump did..." is cowardice and PROFIT driven. MSM has a reckoning coming, and they deserve their inevitable demise.
Agreed
In October, we published secret recordings of Project 2025 architect Russell Vought discussing plans to eviscerate entire agencies and decimate the morale of federal workers if Trump won a second term. It's hard to imagine a more prescient piece of journalism.

Full disclosure, I remember reading this last year and thinking it sounded more like capitulation in advance even though David Troy is brilliant and usually hits the mark. And here we are.
Those of us who study the Theo Bros have long suspected a financial connection between them & the Tech Bros, but were unable to find it. Forbes just did. The connection is thru Marc Andreessen (who advises DOGE & is involved w/ Network States) & New Founding (led by Nate Fischer & Josh Abbottoy). 1/
Trump slumped over in defeat just like Helsinki. What a disgrace for the US

Block and move on. Rage bait is the other place.
This!
Reminder to self:
I rub elbows with wealthy people as a living who vehemently disagree with the above statement. It's wild to listen to them talk about wealth inequality. Compassion and empathy are almost always absent from the conversation, and wealth equates to merit among most of them.

New in PN: The slide toward "competitive authoritarianism" "Orbán subverted Hungary’s democracy with gerrymandering and by creating a nationwide right-wing media network. He put loyalists in the public prosecutor’s office, ensuring the judicial system would go after his enemies. Sound familiar?"

🚨SCOTUS is meeting in mid October to try to fuck us over. They are going after section 2 of the voting rights. If they strike down voting rights it will allow red states to redraw voting districts, altering outcomes of elections and voting rights. Watch this video. youtu.be/2wdphkaguQ0?...
Hence, the MAGA endeavors to rewrite K-12 US history, bringing America back to the "golden years" of 1850.
😆 If I could, I'd change careers!
As end-of-empire scenarios go it is so much more dignified to get your capital city sacked by the Visigoths than to have a bunch of illiterate rich people in their 70s doing it through a series of incomprehensible tantrums because their brains were defeated by their phones.
Multiculturalism thrives in most big cities and is a direct affront to autocracy.
That Porsche Taycan sure looks scary.
If love comes with conditions, then it’s not love at all. It’s emotional robbery disguised as a business transaction.
NEW: In June, ProPublica reported that the FDA has given more than 20 foreign factories a special pass to send drugs to the U.S. even though they were made at plants the agency had banned. Today, we’re publishing a list of those exempted drugs.

Keep talking about it. Some of his base will peel off, and we need them for the inevitable fight to come.
Not enough people are talking about the chilling subtext and imagery in the messages being sent by the official DHS accounts
In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll talk about engagement farming: a cynical social media tactic to rack up likes, shares, and comments. From rage farming to AI-powered outrage factories, engagement farming is reshaping online discourse and turning division into profit. 1/23
Trickle-down economics was always a golden shower for the working and middle class.
Sounds like divorce.
Article 1, Section 9 & 10 have been removed from the official Govt website on the US Constitution. Among numerous points: •Section 9 forbids suspending The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus •Section 10 forbids ex post facto laws This better be a joke. Ignoring these is full blow dictatorship
42-year old Justin Verlander throwing 98 MPH is just completely ridiculous.
Agreed. Vance's handler, Peter Thiel, and the technocrats will have a leg up on MAGAS other factions jockying for control. Network states, crypto currency, and neo-feudalism will take precedence over the ideologues and Christian evangelicals' vision for America 2.0

Unfortunately, suffering the pain of his fucking it up is the only way many his diehard voters will connect the dots.
Needed that. 🙏

And Trump and his ilk couldn't care less. As long as they retain power and pillage average Americans, they sleep just fine. Authoritarians never willingly give up power.
Just like mild-mannered fascist Mike Johnson.
The same Republicans who hitched their wagon to Trump for wealth and power should STFU and read what happened to the Vichy French in WW2.

We are literally living through end stage capitalism. If it worked, we wouldn't have the vast wealth inequality we currently do.

The best thing about instant coffee vs. drip coffee is the release of the Epstein files. Keep talking about it.

Just like the big lie, time and coordinated repeated disinformation will gradually move the Overton window towards accepting the lies as truth.
Right? Full service restaurants are suffering here in California more than quick service/fast casual.

Reminder: we don't need Ghislaine Maxwell to get to the truth. It's sitting in files inside the DOJ that they could release TODAY. She is a liar, a child rapist, and a sex trafficker. Blanche is meeting with her to buy her silence, nothing more.

Authoritarian MAGA party doesn't care. They intend to RULE Americans vs REPRESENT them.
