The Simulation Is Collapsing: America’s Political Meltdown

An interview with Mike Brock

Former tech executive and political writer Mike Brock joins me for one of the most urgent and explosive conversations we’ve had on the channel — covering Trump’s accelerating authoritarianism, the GOP civil war, Silicon Valley’s Christian turn, the latest Epstein revelations, and the structural collapse of American democracy in real time.

In this new episode of LIMINAL NEWS, I speak with writer and former tech executive Mike Brock, whose recent Substack essays have gone viral for their sharp, insider-level analysis of the American political meltdown.

We explore the dizzying speed at which Trump’s second-term movement is consolidating power, the internal rebellion within the conservative legal world, the unraveling of the Republican establishment, and why state-level GOP leaders may finally be defecting. Mike dissects the incentives, psychology, and ideology driving both Trumpworld and the Democratic establishment — from “ultra-processed speech” to the death throes of the old party structure.

We also dive into Silicon Valley’s new fascination with Christian nationalism, Peter Thiel’s metaphysics, the collapsing “simulation” of technocratic liberalism, the moral vacuum in American media, and the corrupt machinery behind ICE raids, billionaire protection networks, and the post-democratic executive branch.
