"Put Them In Trauma": Inside A Key MAGA Leader's Plans For A New Trump Agenda
Source: MSN/Huffington Post
A key ally to former President Donald Trump detailed plans to deploy the military in response to domestic unrest, defund the Environmental Protection Agency and put career civil servants “in trauma” in a series of previously unreported speeches that provide a sweeping vision for a second Trump term.
In private speeches delivered in 2023 and 2024, Russell Vought, who served as Trump’s director of the Office of Management and Budget, described his work crafting legal justifications so that military leaders or government lawyers would not stop Trump’s executive actions.

Vought does not hide his agenda or shy away from using extreme rhetoric in public. But the apocalyptic tone and hard-line policy prescriptions in the two private speeches go further than his earlier pronouncements. As OMB director, Vought sought to use Trump’s 2020 “Schedule F” executive order to strip away job protections for nonpartisan government workers. But he has never spoken in such pointed terms about demoralizing federal workers to the point that they don’t want to do their jobs. He has spoken in broad terms about undercutting independent agencies but never spelled out sweeping plans to defund the EPA and other federal agencies.
Vought’s plans track closely with Trump’s campaign rhetoric about using the military against domestic protesters or what Trump has called the “enemy within.” Trump’s desire to use the military on U.S. soil recently prompted his longest-serving chief of staff, retired Marine Gen. John Kelly, to speak out, saying Trump “certainly prefers the dictator approach to government.”

Republicans are increasingly open about their desire to implement a fascist regime, which in certain social media and right wing echo chambers is feature, rather than a defect. The problem is that most moderates and even some progressives, who do not reside in the same media universe as the right, don't really take this threat all that seriously, because everyone knows that Hitler and the Nazis were evil, right?

What a hateful little piece of shit. Put the disinterested public servant (a cornerstone of democracy) in trauma and have rule by oligarchs and fascists.
This is the stuff Curtis Yarvin and those CREEPS peddle.
