    You may think the take is wrong, but it’s basically what Posobiec and them attempt to argue in “Unhumans”, a political ideology book that’s been lauded by Vance, Trump Jr, Carlson and so on. It is rather overtly what their more “intellectual” (debatable!) contingent paint as the ideological justification for their actions. What they describe there also explains what they’re “trying” to do with some of their other shenanigans, like the supreme courts overturning of women’s rights – or more specifically, why they wanted to push that down to the state level as part of their broader objectives.

    That it gets implemented in a fear mongering way that attempts to rile up the uneducated common US idiot is a secondary ‘thing’ – as is the common US idiots take on it in the “They gonna fuck our kids/jobs!”. The ideology not matching the implementation isn’t a ‘new’ phenomenon, nor is it restricted to fascists – communism is an easy example on that front, where the ‘ideology’ rarely matches the implementation, even if you can ‘see’ elements of the ideology underpinning the movements justification for their actions.
