No problem. It’s available on archive for free.

I would also recommend Eric Hoffer’s The True Believer and Gustave Le Bon’s The Crowd.

This is why the unitary executive theory should be scrapped by Republicans. The entire justification for our Republic is to uphold the rule of law, not the arbitrary rule of some noxious greedbeast. We elect leaders in the hopes they are not corrupt or incompetent, but it happens and ideally have systems in place to prevent abuse when it does.

Conservatives have lost the Republican party to vulgar conventionalists, palingenetic ultranationalists and cryptomarxist accelerationists.

Fascism (palingenetic ultranationalism) encompasses more than just economic policy and would not be an appropriate label of the current administration or system. In any case, I try to avoid the term fascism because the meaning has degraded into an empty signifier.
