We are now all realizing that it’s time to circle the wagons and load the muskets. In the fights that lay ahead, these ideas are an essential weapon

So, political violence?

For folks who don’t get to the page until it is scrubbed (which might not happen, but I expect it will), you are quoting from the “Editorial Reviews” section a quote by “Senator JD Vance”! 🫢

You mean Donald Trump’s running mate? That JD Vance who promoted political violence? Seems like that would be a bad thing considering somebody tried to assassinate his running mate.

The cover of the book also says that Vance wrote the forward in the book. I hope it’s too late for the publisher to change it. I’d love to read what Trump’s VP choice has to say about the Christian Nationalist overthrow of out nation. Not that I’d ever pay money for a copy of the book, to be clear.

“we are in the process of the second American Revolution”

Says the so-called patriot… The American Revolution was revolting from another government to make a new one. So… They hate America so much they want to make a new one. Some real patriots there…

That’s a nothing burger, really. Everyday political talk to my mind.

The changes here, along with your quote, are more damning:

"A sentence on the archived page that says the book “blazes a warpath for the American people to take back their country” now says it “blazes a promising path.” Another fiery sentence on the archived page read, “Just as a controlled burn preserves the longevity of a forest, conservatives need to burn down these institutions [the FBI, The New York Times, the Department of Education, etc.] if we’re to preserve the American Way of life.” It now says that those institutions “need to be dissolved if the American way of life is to be passed down to future generations.”

Also notice the Trump language: “take back their country”, “preserve the American Way of life”. Straight from the fascist playbook.

If Trump wins, I honestly hope at least some of you libs have armed yourselves and trained. I am a peaceful man, but I am not harmless.

Far more “libs” are armed than you would know. It’s just not part of their identity.

Vance is a big phat phony in the vein of Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham. Even credulous MAGA smells a rat. Everybody else suspects he’s a Wall st. mole to soothe the minds of the ownership class.

No matter how you look at it, Vance is another bad deal brought to you by Donald Trump.

People talk about hard work all the time in places like Middletown. You can walk through a town where 30 percent of the young men work fewer than twenty hours a week and find not a single person aware of his own laziness.

According to him, rural people can’t find work because they’re lazy.

Oh, he also talks about punching his stepdad who “wasn’t a violent man”. I expect it’s just political grandstanding to show he was a tough kid.

Like he’s right that Middletown is a shithole. But it’s a location devastated by collapse of the rust belt. It’s basically a suburb of a suburb of fucking dayton. The people of Middletown aren’t lazy, they’re desperate and they’re tired.

I don’t know how he managed to become a senator here, he clearly fucking hates Ohioans.

I’ve seen lots of poor criticism of Vance but your concise little comment actually hit the nail on the head.

Trump, undoubtedly aware of the plan’s growing unpopularity, has claimed, “I know nothing about Project 2025” and that “some of the things they’re saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal.”

How does he know things in it are abysmal if he has no knowledge of it?

I realize this is just my brain struggling desperately to pattern match and make sense of something that doesn’t, like seeing faces in white noise on a TV. But “they” could be the people saying things about Project 2025, not the fascist propaganda itself.

Never before has a figure with Roberts’s depth and stature within the American Right tried to articulate a genuinely new future for conservatism

What a jackass. A new future for conservatism is an oxymoron. It makes a lot more sense when you read “conservatism” as a euphemism for authoritarianism.
