The Unhuman JD Vance
He’s been called the “King of Fake News.” He is a known racist, white supremacist and antisemite. His heroes include Joseph, McCarthy, Francisco Franco, Augusto Pinochet and Chiang Kai-shek. He has been known to praise fascist dictators in general, including Adolf Hitler. He was once the principal promoter of “Pizzagate,” a discredited conspiracy theory falsely claiming that a pedophilia ring linked to members of the Democratic Party was headquartered in a New York City pizzeria. He is, in short, on the fringiest fringe of the furthest rightwing fringe of MAGA lunatics.
His name is Jack Prosobiec, and he’s written a book. The book is called “Unhumans,” and its premise is that liberals, Democrats and, in effect, any persons who are not far right MAGA extremists are “unhuman.” As “unhumans,” according to Prosobiec, liberals are unworthy of the normal considerations of due process, civil rights and mercy afforded to real humans. And what is a “real” human? Presumably anyone who thinks and behaves exactly like Jack Prosobiec and his god-king — Donald Trump.
But Prosobiec is no universally discredited nutjob, untouchable even by MAGA, oh no. He has been praised and endorsed by Tucker Carlsen and Donald Trump Jr. His book has a forward by Steve Bannon, who warns that the “very survival of the American republic is on the shoulders of every American.” And of course, by “every American” Bannon means everyone but the “unhuman” liberals identified in the book.
And the book contains a blurb of endorsement from none other than Donald Trump’s running mate, JD Vance. That’s right, the man the Republican Party has nominated as the presumptive next Vice President of the United States, the man who would be, if victorious, a heartbeat away from the presidency of a fat, 78 year old, junk food and adderall addict, is a promoter and endorser of a racist, antisemitic, fascistic, anti-American piece of political horse shit.
So, in the wake of what is turning out to be the second attempt on Donald Trump’s life, JD Vance’s recent condemnation of political violence is in direct contradiction with his endorsement of “Unhumans.” Even by today’s outré standards, Unhumans is extreme, transparently authoritarian, and above all violent. It is evocative of Nazi propaganda in its insistence on the complete dehumanisation and destruction of any political opponents. So Vance clearly isn’t opposed to political violence as long as that violence isn’t directed against him and his, presumably, ultimate ticket to the White House, Donald Trump.
We should never lose sight of a fact that the mainstream media has very much lost sight of, brothers and sisters, and it is that there is no limit to the horrors this latest version of MAGA will bring down on the heads of every American should they ever be permitted to regain power. It has all been written down and published for everyone to read. It’s as available in printed form as “Mein Kampf” ever was, and far more transparent. Like Project 2025, Jack Prosobiec’s book “Unhumans” is a roadmap into the MAGA agenda and an insight into their fascistic thinking. And the unhuman JD Vance actually wrote a blurb in praise of it. And, as ever, ladies and gentlemen, brothers and sisters, comrades and friends, stay safe.
