Tim Miller

There's also just a vein of like just a rejection of of the neocon orthodoxy on foreign policy.

That is the majority view on the right.

And I and, you know, Ted Cruz is.

whatever, fighting the good fight against Tucker Carlton.

Carlson's bigotry is fine.

There's room for kamikaze soldiers out there in the world.

But I don't know that JD has any vulnerability there.

You mentioned another thing, though, that I think might be a vulnerability of JD Vance.

And that is the, I believe the word he used was the techno-authoritarianism.

J.D.

has, like, combined part of his coalition within the SMGA infighting is basically, you know, the nativists, the MAGA nativists, and, you know, kind of dipping his toe into the right-wing conspiracy world.

But he also has...

combined that with very close ties to Peter Thiel and Marc Andreessen and David Sachs and that, like the tech MAGA world.

And you've seen him take criticism on that from Bannon and others who say that the JD is in the pocket of these big tech oligarchs.

And I think that like, to me, as I project out to 2028, that could be a more interesting fault line than the Israel and foreign policy stuff.

Because I think that the MAGA base,

is probably more sympathetic to anti-big tech arguments and to the argument that JD is their puppet than they would be to what Ted Cruz is putting forth.

What do you make of that claim and what are you seeing in that kind of fissure?

I do think that there is like an anti-elite sentiment in both parties, like on the right, where a lot of these big tech guys are, you know, kind of representative of what they thought that Trump was going in there to dismantle.

Right.
