I am not from America and lives in Europe. I am trying to understand what life and values the republicans in office right now wants for America. Is the 50’s America the kind of country they hope to go back to or is it somewhat of a new state we have never seen before?

I am genuinely wondering if they have some kind of “utopian” community in mind doing all these changes to the economy and values.

    They’re the Technocracy movement, started in the 1930s and stewing as a behind the scenes backer of conservative movements, such as the heritage foundation

    Wikipedia link. If you read through that, you’ll find a lot of the seemingly random shit they say, like taking the Panama canal, Greenland, and Canada, it’s all related. This is the end goal

      I do not think that they are pure technocrats. I think they do want to make an American empire, which has a spiritual and religious component to it.

        What’s a pure technocrat? Technocracy wants to control all aspects of life, they want the tech oligarchs in charge, they want to be generally isolationist and carve up the world into blocs

        That’s how these people act. That’s where they focus, that’s what they hint and feel out responses for. This is the roadmap they’re using

        Spirituality? Religion? Patriotism? These things are a veneer to fascists. They don’t believe in any of that, hell they generally don’t even believe in Technocracy… This is a means to an end

        They’re Fascists. They don’t believe in anything but power and using it against their enemies
