Mike Johnson and J.D. have plenty in common. Both are prominent and ambitious Republican politicians with strong ties to the religious right. Both are therefore highly visible proponents of the Godly Society. And both of them have jobs which require them to maintain good relations with all of the factions of the GOP even when they have wildly different objectives.
Johnson has followed the Trumpian lead and is advocating for deregulation of AI in order to keep the tech barons and their CL supporters in line even though that position is difficult to reconcile with his otherwise reactionary views. J.D. hasn’t said much on the subject recently, but the comments he has made suggest he has made the same choice. If so, it may cost him dearly in the long run; the base has no love for the barons.
