Bouvard on Institutional Integration of Right-Wing Youth

X / Twitter · Mar 22, 2026 · 2 min read

The solution to the right wing zoomers going Nazi problem is to create millions of positions in and around law enforcement and defense (*not* think tanks and the GOP) which provide experience, advancement and discipline within a legal framework. Filter out the most egregious, but

otherwise count on the rigors of the job countering ideological intoxications. And this way you create a generation of fighters for MAGA, making it harder to reverse Trump's achievements. It could be risky, but it's obviously the best approach.

@YamnayaRisen That's the risk, but, then, it's a question of whether the agencies can maintain their professionalism. If they can't, there are even bigger problems.

@YamnayaRisen These seem to be problems that can be countered by the original proposal to staff the agencies with Trump loyalists, or demographics presumed to include a preponderance of those aligned with MAGA. That, in turn, might help with hte professionalism.

@YamnayaRisen I don’t think Nick Fuentes is colored, but, that aside, if they act according to the law and don’t try to create political divisions within the agencies there should be no problem.

@YamnayaRisen A member of ICE, or Homeland Security, or the military, or the FBI, etc., who does his job policing immigration, gathering intelligence, breaking up criminal activity, etc., has no need for anyone to know whether he supports "White self-determination" or what he means by that.

@YamnayaRisen But in law enforcement, immigration and intelligence all that's necessary is to abolish DEI if it's still in place. Then you hire people who want to serve their country in those roles. Whatever tests are administered to candidates need not include political questions.

@YamnayaRisen It's not so much something to agree or disagree on as to ask how to make it possible. Hiring lots of people will override gatekeeping--treat it like an emergency. Dealing with education would require other approaches, but why wait until that's solved? Same with politics.

@YamnayaRisen How the state is staffed is a critical part of making that happen. Imagine a whole generation of military, law enforcement, immigration and intelligence officials coming in under Trump and sympathetic to his aims. It will place constraints on future presidents.
