The republican overlords (Federalist society and Heritage Foundation) will be doing the "governing" and telling trump and vance what to say and when to say it.

A good litmus test for voters.

He's a young family man too. Best selling culture warrior. All of which are supposed to help Trump.

Sorry, says the nation. Sorry, says Ohio. No sale. Down you go.

The commercial media calling Vance “conservative” lays the foundation for everything that follows.

There is nothing “conservative” about a political flavor-of-the-month like MAGA. The entire movement seeks to tear down and build new. They want to destroy the U.S. democratic government and replace it with TV political influencers.

I now refuse to use the term conservative when describing MAGAt cultists. To be precise, they are reactionary—so conservative they’ve gone full circle and are actually liberal. Out with the old, in with the new is a very liberal ideology.
