JD Vance endorsed book calling left ‘unhumans’ written by Pizzagate conspiracy theorist
Trump VP pick JD Vance endorsed a book by Pizzagate conspiracy theorist Jack Posobiec which calls progressive and civil rights activists “unhumans,” and claims that January 6 was a hoax.
The book, Unhumans: The Secret History of Communist Revolutions (and How to Crush Them), by Posobiec and Joshua Lisec, purports to be a history of progressive social movements, but is full of dubious factual claims and scathing opinions dismissing the views of millions of Americans, according to Mother Jones, which reviewed a copy of the book.
The “unhumans” the authors identify include civil rights activists, Black Lives Matter demonstrators, as well as communists and socialists.
“They don’t believe what they say,” the authors write at one point in the book. “They don’t care about winning debates. They don’t even want equality. They just want an excuse to destroy everything. They want an excuse to destroy you.”
In another section, they label the January 6 insurrection at the US Capitol a “hoax” and a “lawfare trap” to “destroy” Trump supporters, while describing those who rushed the Capitol to stop the certification of the 2020 election “well-meaning patriots.”
The book reportedly casts doubts on democracy itself.
“Our study of history has brought us to this conclusion: Democracy has never worked to protect innocents from the unhumans,” one section reads. “It is time to stop playing by rules they won’t.”
“In the past, communists marched in the streets waving red flags,” Vance’s endorsement of the book, which came out in July, reads. “Today, they march through HR, college campuses, and courtrooms to wage lawfare against good, honest people. In Unhumans, Jack Posobiec and Joshua Lisec reveal their plans and show us what to do to fight
