Basically. He also thinks everything was way better before women could vote and that democracy has fundamentally failed.

Since 1920, the vast increase in welfare beneficiaries and the extension of the franchise to women — two constituencies that are notoriously tough for libertarians — have rendered the notion of “capitalist democracy” into an oxymoron.

One of his plans is literally to steal young peoples' blood because he thinks replacing his with it will help keep him young while he tries to hold out until he can be made an immortal transhuman cyborg.

I think this plan came out of a rat study where they noted that old rats injected with young rat blood were more alert and more intelligent and young rats injected with old rat blood were slow and stupid.

Not injected. Having their circulatory systems actually connected to one another like some kind of blood-based rattian centipede.

So kinda impractical.

There would be something poetic in McMullin winning more electoral votes than Gary Johnson and Jill Stein.

Would also probably help McMullin run for a future office in Utah. I am not sure what the national GOP will look like after this election, but I expect the state party to snatch him up
