I've only recently taken a closer look at the political ideas of Curtis Yarvin. I am dismayed to realize he sees politics much like a game of chess. While the Founders of this nation clearly understood we are ONE PEOPLE, Yarvin would divide us into his chess pieces and everyone else, with the goal to destroy all opposition.
One can easily see how this way of thinking would be helpful to win elections, but it doesn't help one to govern. The Republican Party has taken to his way of thinking and doesn't ever stop playing the politics game. They just continue to divide and conquer America, thus destroying it.
Where does it lead? With a complete lack of morality, compassion, or interest in governing the whole of America, it leads to lying, cheating, and other techniques of war. Just to play the politics game, his way is war on America. Taking that a bit further, who else is at war with America? Russia and Vladimir Putin, and some time ago it was the militant radical Jihadist Muslims. Does Yarvin side with them? I would think so, though he hasn't said that to my knowledge.
The Founders wanted politics to end with the elections and governing to begin (or continue with different individuals). Yarvin doesn't discuss that. He offers us that a monarchy would be better than Democracy because it is less easily defeated, though history shows that is simply wrong.
The foundation of his thinking that America is simply opposing camps is wrong. His lack of ideas for real governance of a nation is bad. His lack of morality or compassion is horrendous.
I have to wonder what attracted the "tech bros" to his way of thinking. Did he seduce them with talk about "Libertarian tax policies"? What kind of lies did he use, or were they so stupid about politics that he didn't have to seduce them?
Yarvin is a threat to America so long as the Republican continue to utilize his techniques to gain power AND continue to destroy America, one Doge at a time.
