Moving the lemm.ee State Level Doge community here and giving it a broader name.

The lemm.ee community was originally created to track the "DOGE task forces" which popped up across multiple states in the U.S. once Trump took office in 2025, but is meant to be a place for anyone, anywhere to share and discuss any corruption they notice happening at a local/community level.

Rich white men bought a bunch of land and want to build white only utopia outside of Nashville. Concerned locals don't want them there.

Marc Andreesen is an investor and they hang out with JD Vance.

They only want to allow Christian Protestants. Not sure how Vance fits into that, or all the other conservative Catholics in the Republican party.

Typical prefigurative traditionalism BS. They don't like America or Democracy, but want to return to a "traditional" America that never actually existed in reality. A strategy created by yet another conservative Catholic, Paul Weyrich..

They are banking on the collapse of the U.S. and say they will help speed up the collapse if necessary. They talk about a need for a "national divorce" instead of just saying they want to seceed for some reason. Typical domestic terrorist stuff the FBI and DOJ is no longer interested in investigating or trying to prevent apparently.

Oh yeah, and Tucker Carlson is a fan but I feel like nobody is surprised by that

Andrew Isker and Cjay Engel want to go back to an America before the civil rights movement "ruined everything." They want to kick out legal immigrants even if they became U.S. citizens decades ago. They have hosted antisemitic voices on their podcast. And, if necessary to achieve their goals, they are prepared to accept a Protestant dictator.

Earlier this year, after Tucker Carlson embraced the project, Dudney released a video on social media objecting to the Christian nationalist effort

Dallas-based investor Nate Fischer heads the company financing the so-called “Highland Rim Project,” a multimillion-dollar effort in the Upper Cumberland region about 90 minutes northeast of Nashville.

His company, New Founding LLC, promises you can "build the America you want to live in."

The company appears to have some deep political connections, including to the far-right Claremont Institute. Among its investors is tech billionaire Marc Andreesen. Last year, a New Founding executive also posted a pic of the team with now-Vice President J.D. Vance, referring to him as "our guy." (Fischer originally posted the photo in April 2023.)
