    The Rockbridge Network: The New, High-Tech Face of Radical Republican Power

    Welcome to America’s Fractured Politics—the show that pulls back the curtain on the hidden forces reshaping our democracy. Hosted by Washington, DC attorney and longtime Democratic activist Mark Mansour, this episode takes you deep inside the Rockbridge Network, one of the most consequential—and least understood—forces in American conservatism today.

    Discover how J.D. Vance, Chris Buskirk, and a cadre of tech billionaires are using Silicon Valley tactics to disrupt and dominate the Republican Party from the inside out. From multi-million-dollar media and litigation strategies to secretive “government-in-waiting” initiatives, Rockbridge is building a parallel political infrastructure designed to outmaneuver traditional gatekeepers and reshape the rules of power.

    Whether you’re a political junkie or just trying to make sense of today’s headlines, this episode offers expert analysis and behind-the-scenes insights into the new model of radical Republican activism—and what it means for the future of American democracy.

    Subscribe now to America’s Fractured Politics and join the conversation about who really holds the power in Washington—and beyond.
