The book, “Unhumans,” suggests progressives aren’t really people.

“In the past, communists marched in the streets waving red flags. Today, they march through HR, college campuses, and courtrooms to wage lawfare against good, honest people,” Vance wrote. “In ‘Unhumans,’ Jack Posobiec and Joshua Lisec reveal their plans and show us what to do to fight back.”

-snip-

“By becoming consumed by nihilism, unhumans oppose everything that makes up humanity,” Posobiec and Lisec write in their introduction. “As they are opposed to humanity itself, they place themselves outside the category completely, in an entirely new misery-driven subdivision, the unhuman.”

-snip-

Posobiec’s book purports to give its readers strategies to “crush” the unhumans and suggests that it can’t be done through democratic means. “Democracy has never worked to protect innocents from the unhumans. It is time to stop playing by rules they won’t,” the book says.

Instead of illegal means, Posobiec and Lisec encourage their readers to make public lists of unhumans, to make fun of them, to attack them with “lawfare” and cancel culture, and to support legislation that would increase “tax transparency” and ban public teacher unions.

The Republican party remains the party of denying women human rights - The Guardian The GOP ticket of JD Vance and Donald Trump, from ‘menstrual surveillance’ to sexual assault, has made itself clear

The Republican party of the United States remains the party of denying women fundamental human rights. The US press as a whole remains the instrument of softening up or ignoring this reality.
