I can’t believe there are people who actually want former President Donald Trump, easily the worst commander-in-chief in living history, to return to the White House. Yes, they are some people who look fondly on the Trump’s administration, which was marked by almost 1,000,000 Americans dying of the coronavirus, massive corruption, nepotism, incompetence, 30,000 lies and, finally, an attack on the U.S. government.

But Trump recently met with the America First Policy Institute, a far-right think tank in Washington D.C. During the think tank’s conference, Trumpists discussed potential staff members for a future administration so they could hit the ground running, unlike last time, when he appeared dazed that he won.

Trump has borrowed aspects of the neofascist Neo Reactionary Movement (NrX,) beloved by techno fascists such as Peter Thiel, and plans to fire 50,000 civil servants. After his purge, they will be replaced by government workers who are loyal to Trump. This is neofascist Steve Bannon’s “destroy the administrative state” plan put into practice.
