I keep trying to figure out how they’re going to fuck up the election - especially with Elon and all.
You can add Leonard Leo to the list you put together and we’ve really got ourselves a party! Seriously though, a considerable number of these people either were or have converted to (a pretty radical version of) Catholicism too.

Exactly. As I read it, I thought immediately about a young (former personal trainer) who is a former radical Catholic, now a converted radical evangelical Catholic, who, being in his thirties and smarter than anyone else on the planet, thinks exactly like these bros. It smacks of a subculture of white men who dream of a patriarchal society, where they live like kings and everyone else works for them. They are empty, and a little too big for their own britches. Unfortunately, some, like JD, are easy manipulated by the Peter Thiels of this world yet have enough brains to adopt the Thiel strategies to use against others on his own personal behalf.
And just like that, Mother Jones dropped this deep dive into the *TheoBros* - or the freaks with influence over the techbros who want to turn America into a theocracy, starting with repealing the 19th amendment. JFC. What’s with these dudes and patriarchy?
Actually, it’s really the elite Catholic men who are the problem here. I studied with scores of nuns who were smart, forward thinking and HUMBLE. And childless.

Remember, they all started out as basement-dwelling social dorks women avoided.
So instead of messing with little children, they’ll f over the country. Yay, Catholics! Yes, I was one.
