4. Something about Sci-Fi TV/movies my daughter mentioned

The main characters always live in spaceships. Nice clean spaceships. The planets are always dirty dusty nasty existences (usually for mining) the not so lucky people have to live on.

7. It's the ultimate pyramid scheme. n/t

5. Company towns where crypto will be the scrip...

Only the select can own, the masses rent everything in their lives from them at a premium. Virtual slavery.

How feudal of the broliarchs.

6. For white maga ts only to create white babies, I'm sure.

This of course will never happen as there is no Mexico to pay for it. Not to mention that the white supremacist bastard will not win the election.

9. That reads like something Musk came up with.

10. That's a Tech Bro dream. A lot of sci-fi social engineering.

Drone class lives in Freedom Cities, all the important folks get autonomous flying cars to avoid interacting with the drone class, all the manufacturing is put out of sight, out of mind.
Along with fungible workforce.

Everything is neat and sterile. Ah, being a Tech Bro - to be able to amble about doing whatever you want, living your life and to not worry about society telling you "no" because some uppity drone family complains they might get hurt or killed or lose their home or something. Who cares, they're just extras in your private feature film of a life. Even the Tech Bro's family and friends are ultimately just supporting cast; the drones that actually have to do work are disposable.

12. I thought Republicans were against the concept of city planners.

13. Trumpie's plans

I don't know this sounds like a tsecond rate novel, written by a third rate hack about how a bunch of business "owners" run away to a mysterious place talked about by a man called John Galt. These "owners" seemed to think that if they ran away, their employees would beg for their return as only the "owners' knew how to run a business. Yet those "owners" never did the actual labor necessary to create their products.

14. Trump has been calling for these kinds of sci-fi pie-in-the-sky...

...Five Year Plans for a while now. Someone posted about it on DU maybe a couple of months ago.

As several posters here have already mentioned, these sound like the kind of grandiose projects that would come from tech bro "culture". Trump is also apparently sucking up to some of the worst subcultures in the religious right, particularly the radtrad Catholics. Trump's enthusiasm for "baby bonuses" comes from the radtrads' obsession with (white) birth rates as well as their unspoken preoccupation with "white genocide" conspiracy theories. The tech bros also have some disturbing preoccupations with highly antidemocratic political theories like Distributism and Neo-Monarchy. They are often called "neoreactionaries", which does sum up their overall beliefs quite well.
