    It’s interesting to me that the attack on multiculturalism/diversity has finally just boiled down to openly attacking individuality (see Pete Hegseth’s speech to the military). Especially bc “cultural marxism” used to allegedly be a communist attack by the left on individuality and democracy in the United States.

    Of course, since the ultimate goal of the Christian Nationalists movement is to do away with democracy completely, and they are in the process of finally landing the plane after 50 years, they are also thisclose to just openly using the message they originally projected on the left.

    Once even attacks on individuality are normalized, and their base is jeering the left about how individuality is a D.E.I. practice that’s destroying this country, obviously an end to western democracy is a pretty logical next step.

    I swear, sometimes I wonder if the Heritage Foundation’s original plan was hijacked along the way by Russia, and the end game now is actually to just troll the U.S. into unwittingly surrendering and embracing a Stalinist regime controlled by a Russian loyalist (which could describe just about anybody in this fucking administration).

    What if the ultimate troll move in the Cold War that never really ended (even after we thought we won), is that we don’t even end up with the Oligarchy that Heritage helped create after the collapse of the Soviet Union?

    What if we’re not even that lucky, and instead we just get a puppet government forcing us to completely reject all Western values, and everything that the U.S. was founded on in the name of “Nationalism,” all so Russia can end up making us bend over, grab our ankles, and say “thank you.”
