The vision that they are aiming for looks something like the book called regime change published by Patrick Denine in 2023 which JD Vance has sat alongside Denine and promoted this book with him and endorsed this book.

Why people recommend it
Regime Change by Patrick J. Deneen is a political science book that argues for a post-liberal future through the replacement of self-serving elites with a new ruling class dedicated to the common good of working-class citizens. Ezra Klein recommended the work on The Ezra Klein Show, characterizing it as an accessible entry point for understanding contemporary right-wing thought and elite replacement. James Lindsay discussed the vision outlined in the text on The Rubin Report, noting its alignment with figures like JD Vance who have actively promoted the author's ideas. Stephen Dubner dedicated an episode of Freakonomics Radio to exploring the themes of the book, interviewing Deneen directly about the appetite for the common good in America and questioning specific policy proposals put forward within its pages. Throughout these discussions, commentators analyzed the text as a significant intellectual blueprint for the post-liberal right, examining its critique of modern capitalism, managerial elites, and cultural fragmentation. The book continues to spark intense debate across the political spectrum regarding the future of American governance and societal stability.

“I'm also looking at another policy idea you propose in the same book in regime change, which seems to go directly against it. So I need you to explain why it perhaps isn't in conflict.”

“Well, that site is from my most recent book, which is called regime change. Not to be too uncontroversial, so I picked an anodine title.”
