J.D. Vance endorses Yarvin RAGE plan to fire civil servants

On a podcast appearance, then-Senate candidate J.D. Vance said Trump should fire every midlevel bureaucrat and every civil servant in the administrative state and replace them with our people. The remark echoed Yarvin's RAGE proposal — Retire All Government Employees — and reporters traced the influence directly to Yarvin's writing. Vance later won the Ohio Senate seat with $15 million in support from Peter Thiel.
