Little bit of column a, little bit of column b. A lot of the actions of the current USG seem to occur at the intersection of shared interests but different motivations, consider that:

  - apocalypse-cult evangelicals (Mike Johnson types)
  - secular RE development globalists (Kushner types)
  - white supremacist / eugenicist weirdos (Stephen Miller types)
  - SV / tech billionaire stooges (Vance types)
  - media / propaganda old guard (Koch, Murdoch, Heritage)
  - Morally bankrupt grifters / influencers (too many to mention)

all seem to somehow be under the same tent right now. Luckily for us, history points towards such unlikely alliances as being fragile and short-lived. Unluckily, when such alliances have gained power they usually don’t let it go without making sure lots of people suffer first.

Edit: I call it an unlikely alliance because there are represented many reactionary accelerationists who all have a different vision of what America should look like after the revolution.
