Curtis distinguishes his ideal 'purple' monarchy from fascism (a victorious faction of civil war like Hitler or Mussolini), praises Singapore's Lee Kuan Yew as a model, and argues Trump should embrace being a ceremonial chairman-of-the-board figure rather than an operator.
- Neither bolshevism nor virulent street violence exists today like it did in 1932 Berlin, where five people a day were being stabbed to death.
- Singapore under Lee Kuan Yew offers a better example of authoritarian stability—a multi-ethnic country that William Gibson called 'Disneyland with the death penalty.'
- Conservatives actually love FDR and the Kennedys, not Hitler—think in terms of blue caesars when choosing between dictators for the aristocracy versus the middle classes.
- Trump's voter base is the same as Hitler's voter base, but that doesn't mean Trump is Hitler—Hitler would laugh at him.
- The thing Tim really loves about Trump is that he breaks the frame, unlike DeSantis, who has no interest in breaking it.
- Billionaires like Peter Thiel and George Soros aren't motivated by money—once you have billions, the only thing left to buy is power and the world you believe in.
- Trump is underpromoted and incapable as currently configured—the opposite of the Peter Principle or Parkinson's Law.
- Trump should run in 2024, become Chairman of the Board, hire a chief of staff like Alexander Hamilton, play golf and do photo ops rather than try to actually govern.
