They appear to be genuinely radical ethnonationalists. They are also markedly more intelligent and educated than the others.

It always seems to be a downward spiral on the right. Every election cycle, a new, more evil, sludge monster crawls out of their billionaire pit and eclipses the last. We've gone through so many iterations of this, from the Coors and Scaife money all the way down to the Mercer money.

I'm genuinely afraid to see what emerges in 2024.
