From the wholesale gutting of federal agencies to the ongoing government shutdown, Russell Vought has drawn the road map for Trump’s second term. Vought has consolidated power to an extent that insiders say they feel like “he is the commander in chief.”

It seems like there’s a bit of competition or maybe just collaboration between Stephen Miller and Mr. Vought.

Their areas of interest are complementary. Miller agitates for the subjugation of the population.

Vought work consolidate temporal power into the hands of a monarchal presidency.

All of them are fed by the so-called libertarian super rich. Their idea of libertarianism is the total freedom to do whatever the heck they want to to the rest of society.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @ProPublica I'll keep saying it...
The global rise in fascism is directly tied to the money the global oil barons are paying for it. They can't imagine giving up their .01% status and their infinite wealth. The politicians they buy not only pledge allegiance to oil but also ensure the rise of ignorance and cruelty so that most of the population is busy demonizing each other. They know that a well informed electorate would vote for human survival - given half a chance.

This isn’t a new arc in history. It simply repeats the conflict brought on by the imbalance between rich and poor.

It’s not a new problem
