As ugly and horrendous as Donald Trump is, there is a younger generation of extreme right wing advocates that portends a scary future beyond Donald Trump himself.
Among these extremists are:
Ben Shapiro, a leading podcaster, also has millions of followers on Facebook, You Tube, and X (formerly Twitter), and has no issue in being absolutely despicable, and demonstrating misogyny, racism, nativism, and Islamophobia without any shame.
David Sacks, a tech entrepreneur, best known for Paypal, who is willing to say and do anything to promote extreme right wing positions.
Charlie Kirk, leader of the group Turning Point USA, who has become very influential in right wing circles.
Vivek Ramaswamy, tech entrepreneur, and former Republican Presidential contender.
Stephen Miller, former Senior Advisor for policy and White House Director of Speechwriting for Donald Trump.
Kevin Roberts, head of the Heritage Foundation, the right wing political think tank, and promoter of Project 2025.
These and others like them present a “clear and present danger” in the long term with their authoritarian bent.
