Ruth Ben-Ghiat reminds us today of what she wrote this past May:

“The fascists believed that you have to destroy to create, and this is what a second Trump administration would do. This ethos of creative destruction has long been espoused by extremist Steve Bannon and is now normalized by suit-wearing subversives such as Vought."

"The bottom line is that all of the pieces of Project 2025 that we’ve discussed for the last year are in play. We’ve known that here, even though Project 2025 seemed to fall off the radar screen after Trump's ersatz denial. Now it’s clear that all of the horribles are on the table, everything from the end of the Department of Education to the discontinuation of the weather warnings NOAA provides."

"Vought is a proponent of a powerful executive and of restructuring our institutions to facilitate a government that veers toward the monarchical and away from the democratic."
