JD Vance is a product of Peter Thiel, who is obsessed with Carl Schmitt.
Schmitt argued that a dictator seizes power through a "state of exception"—when the rules are suspended due to some "emergency."
"Sovereign is he who decides on the exception."
Vance is vastly more dangerous than Trump.
"Vance got to the point. They needed to invoke the Insurrection Act, swiftly, to crush the unrest in Minnesota. It would be painful in the short term, he said, but the message it would send — that paid agitators can't get away with disrupting ICE operations — would make sure no one tried it again."
