    But the old ones don’t have VP candidates right now, and aren’t expressly aimed at ending democracy and replacing it with a techno monarchy.

    Yarvin has been described as a “neo-reactionary” and “neo-monarchist” who “sees liberalism as creating a Matrix-like totalitarian system, and who wants to replace American democracy with a sort of techno-monarchy”.[7][8][9]

    Nor do they have multiple billionaires backing them ao just trying to stay focused on what’s most relevant right now.

    Edit: By the way, Vance’s political career is only two years old, and has been entirely funded by Thiel, who also introduced him to Trump as a VP candidate… And Thiel is on record as wanting to end Democracy.
