HOW RUSSELL VOUGHT’S FAUX RELIGIOSITY PROVIDES COVER FOR THE FASCISM HE’S SO GLEEFULLY IMPOSING ON THE REST OF US

—with or without the felon, it’s going to get much,much worse. The juggernaut behind the felon as distraction is utterly ruthless, hellbent on ensuring government is completely incapacitated and irrelevant in the onslaught of billionaire tech bros large and in charge, & criminally siphoning the rest of what the rest of us barely have anymore.

Vought wishes trauma on civil servants and has inflicted same; boasts about turning his think tank into a “Death Star”; panders to the right’s paranoid streak by claiming Marxists rule America; helps Trump withhold aid to Ukraine illegally after its leader declines to investigate the son of Trump’s 2020 opponent; and impounds congressional appropriations politico.com/news/2025/…n gleeful defiance of court precedent. Pretty sinful, no? Not to Vought. While doing all this Vought proudly declares his deep devotion to the Christian faith.”

“Vought’s God isn’t going to bend your ear with a lot of sentimental nonsense about the least among us…Instead, the Lord wishes to abolish the Agency for International Development…Vought was Elon Musk’s DOGE puppetmaster. Killing off the agency was Vought’s project, not Musk’s…an OMB staffer at a February meeting proposed to Vought that they cut USAID’s budget in half. Vought replied that he wanted to get as close to zero as possible. But more people will die, the aide protested. “You could say that about any of these cuts,” Vought answered. 

“Last month I noted that the Boston University epidemiologist Brooke Nichols projected that Trump’s aid cuts would cause the deaths of about 640,000 people, 430,000 of them children. Since then Nichols has revised upward her estimated number of deaths by about 38,000. The Lord works in mysterious ways.”
