In summary:
The broligarchs' agenda, supported by Trump, means an end to US democratic traditions & global econ/political leadership. Broligarchs want to create this power vacuum so they can step into it themselves, the better to rule the rest of us.

All the broligarchs are pushing Trump to create a strategic Bitcoin reserve, which would make them much richer & more powerful, but weaken the US dollar: the world's reserve currency.
This would undermine, if not destroy, US econ & pol power.

While the broligarchs have big plans for the US government—like the DOGE project by Musk & fellow broligarch Vivek Ramaswamy to restructure & cut the budgets of Federal agencies”—states are essentially playthings to them & their outlook is borderless.

Thiel’s Stanford classmate & later co-author, broligarch David Sacks, has repeatedly published his view that women’s rape accusations are often false & reflect “nothing more than belated regret.” Broligarchs don't think laws should protect women.

Thiel funds a women's magazine (Evie) that does for birth control what RFKJr does for vaccines: sows conspiracy theories to persuade people to stop using them. Like Musk, he's obsessed with getting (mostly white) women to have more babies.

They expect--& are getting from Trump--authority to shape the US government & its policies, both foreign & domestic, without paying their fair share. Broligarchs routinely pay no tax, or effective tax rates of ~1-3%.

No. Broligarchs, though many are based in the Silicon Valley, aren't just Americans. Some are from other countries, some live outside the US.
They're part of the billionaire elite I've examined since 2007. Based on that, we can expect 3 things from broligarchy.
