George Conway: All hail Comrade Secretary Trump for his brilliant new Five-Year Plan

[keep_left]

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.
