As I’ve noted before, there are three wildly different revolutionary visions behind the Trump candidacy: the Godly Society; a techno-aristocracy; and the New Confederacy. Which of these has Trump’s support?
Based on the campaign to date, all of them! He put J.D. Vance, one of the most conspicuous advocates of the Godly Society, on the ticket; Elon Musk is one of his biggest supporters, and he is now advocating for crypto; and his states’ rights position on abortion is consistent with the New Confederacy. He also wants to bring back the names of Confederate loser generals for our military bases.
Trump is obviously trying to maintain party unity by nodding to all of the three groups. Can he successfully juggle their demands if he wins? Probably not.
