His solo kidnapping plot was not only completely devoid of any of these "virtues of the vicious", honor and loyalty among thieves It was also incredibly stupid and doomed to fail for that very reason

The most astonishing thing about Rand's praise for Hickman's "intelligence" is it was based on nothing, entirely circular The evidence is the biggest thing he did in life was something anyone could see was not only reprehensible but a total dumbass move

But she read genius into an impulsive reckless fool's atrocities *because they were atrocities* It was simply the fact of how vile he was that made him "special" He never once demonstrated any ability to do what others could not, only what they would not, which she conflated

For almost any normal person, including fans of mafia movies or heist movies or the like, there's nothing to admire about someone like Hickman He wasn't even a *successful* bad guy like a Scarface or an actual serial killer, he wasn't even *smart*

Unlikely. She hated Reagan.

I was being snarky bc she admired a dumb evil criminal who didn't give a shit about anyone but himself. I don't honestly care or think it matters what she might have thought of Orange Truck Nuts.

In point of fact I consider it almost certain that today's Ayn Rand would be one of those anti-anti-Trump contrarian shitposters, "Orange Man Bad" Yelling about how *annoying* and *basic* everyone is for being so mad at "Mr Trump, whom I do not support"

Her shitty stupid POV is based on this constant childish insecurity and contrarian resentment of "the masses" There's nothing that pisses her off as much as the simple fact of widespread social condemnation of something, "virtue signaling" "If the normies hate it I love it"

Ayn Rand would be a full throated Trumpist.

I don't know about that, but I do consider it obvious that the reason she hated Reagan so much is that Reagan was popular - the normies loved him, for normie reasons So the lower Trump's polls plummeted the more likely she'd be to support him
