Stephen Miller: The Most Powerful Man In MAGA

Say what you will about his evil: at least it's an ethos.

The perverse physics of the Trump singularity is pretty explicable at this point: the closer you orbit the orange supernova, the more your conscience vaporizes and your spine bends toward servility.

The roll call of “smart‑enough‑to‑know‑better” flunkies is long, but the pattern is the same: one little moral compromise becomes another and another and then it’s, “Sure, we’re arresting American citizens without a warrant or probable cause. What about it, cuck?”

Marco Rubio, once the GOP’s boy‑band hope for a better future, now tweets Kremlin talking points like a Dollar Store bot and is doing every job short of landscaping the White House lawn. I can envision Susie Wiles, the grand dame of White House normies, mainlining late‑night Scotch‑and‑Ambien cocktails, praying for oblivion before dawn’s MAGA staff meeting. Remember when Scott Bessent was the normal Wall Street bro a week or two ago? Good times.

They wake up every morning, bleary, hollow‑eyed, souls on layaway, and mumble assent to whatever fresh constitutional, legal, or moral atrocity Dear Leader scribbled on the back of last night’s Filet-O-Fish wrapper.

Below them, there’s an army of under‑read, over‑online troll‑bros—keyboard chads who think fascism is a dank meme. They live to “own the libs,” but what they’re really doing is mortgaging their future to finance a tin‑pot dictatorship. Hovering alongside them are the Profiles in Chickenshit: Republican lifers so terrified of a primary challenge that they’d hand over grandma’s Medicare card—and grandma—to keep their sinecure.

And then, at the cold heart of it all, stands Stephen Miller.

Say what you will about his seething hatreds, embrace of evil, overt sadism, monstrous desire for innocent suffering and blood, at least it’s an ethos. The rest if gravy. Racial animus weaponized with bureaucratic precision, autocratic mania manipulating the whims of Donald Trump. Miller is increasingly the most powerful person in Trump’s orbit.
